    Love that spot. Can be extremely good in that bend, especially if the water is flowing relatively high. In the lower flows the males stack up in there pretty thick. The only place I have hooked one on the very first cast and also two consecutive casts in a row! All the same day. Very hard to land them there though. We keep a Gaff handy for keepers. Can be an adventure getting back out of there if its raining!
