Hewitt section

2nd time out & first full day of the year - 4 miles into the hike i realized that Google maps might just be wrong - although the bog was large 2nd only to the Flow Lands and a whole lot closer to the city. As usual there were spots where you could go in up to your knees or worse. The Water was tea stained and looked right but the flow was not enough to support wild fish. Unfortunately there was no central cascading brook feeding the flow nor was there even a decent spring but the hike was just the thing to get me into shape and broke up the day nicely...

About 3 or 4 miles into the interior i ran into a lost hiking couple - it always strikes me as odd since 3-4 hours in any direction is generally a road here in the east. I guess i am getting old but i just can't understand how this happens, they had no water, map, gps or even a candy bar and they had been out about 7 hours by the time i ran across them.

As to the main river below 1 brookie on a greenie weenie and fished "over" a ton of fish but none were rising to anything bigger than a 28 - white fly (wayyyyyy to early in the season for this type of long tippet fishing.

If you see what i saw on Google than i would recommend /consider trying the approach from the southeast side to see if there was any better luck in the next valley over but based on what i could see i doubt it.
