[quote riverdog] Consider keeping your limit of 8 brookies there. [/quote]
+1. I was just there 3 weeks ago and all the fish (both brookies and goldens) are still skinny as @*$%. Take out as many brookies as the law will allow and maybe the goldens will have a chance to grow a little. I swear they are the same size as last summer, when they were planted. At least they are colorful now.
As for eating the brookies, any skinny, stunted fish will taste far worse than a well fed, tasty, scud filled one, but I just gut them, put them in a special flour and seasoning mix, and fry them and they are OK.
With respect to waders, they would be a waste of time and effort, unless you also had a float tube. I like fishing there with the tube. It gives me more options and mobility. When I was there, all the fish were deep and I couldn't get any on my usual surface techniques. I put on a little bladed royal coachman and kicked that around in the tube. It was game on from there.
