I was above #1 mostly - had a look up at the bridge in the afternoon and walked up to the dam where they had been putting new markers on some redds. I was a little surprised to see the markers on weedy bottom areas close to the shore - I try to be very careful not to tread on gravel areas, but would have probably not noticed these redds in the weedy area without the markers.
