Has anyone ever fished the Arroyo Seco, below the footbridge? The regs say it opens December 1st.

Above the footbridge, 3.5 miles upstream of the parking lot, is open for fishing during the summer. I went hiking  there a few summers ago and brought a rod in my pack, incase it looked fishy. It was kind of ironic that I could stand on the foot bridge and look downstream at the "out of season" section and see three fish swimming in the pool. What a tease! Above the bridge seemed a bit dry, and my wife was more interested in hiking than watching me fish, so I called it a day.

I've been wanting to head back there ever since and wondered if it is worth the trip.
