Defunct Bridge Pier

An old bridge pier (long defunct bridge) splits the flow This location is likely to accumulate snags and strainers.

ALWAYS SCOUT THIS SPOT BEFORE SHUTTLING UP AND PUTTING ON!

From the take-out parking area: walk west (upstream) on the paved pathway until you see a clearing where the shore has slumped into the creek and where the bridge pier is visible. Carefully look as far upstream and downstream as possible (often tough to do with all the shrubbery blocking the view from shore).

The bridge pier can provide an interesting dynamic eddy to catch. Downstream, there are some 'fish habitat structures' which have been added to the streambed, but generally will be unnoticed by boaters at boatable flows.
