We also checked out the Highwood River. The stretch between Longview and Eden Valley was crowded - 3-5 cars at every pull out. It was cold, crowded, and we only had one fish rise to a dry fly. We went to Cataract Creek from there.
After Cataract Creek, we decided to explore Highwood River above Highwood House. We found two great runs for some great rainbow action. Around 5:00 pm they started rising. I had lots of takes, but had a couple get off the hook. Angelamc caught two beauties on a stonefly nymph. She won the day for best fish and most fish.
Pro-tip: big fish can hold in much faster water than you might expect. I can be more specific about where we were if you send PM, and promise to catch and release.
