Sorry if I implied you were not doing things right there, KO.
From your brief description, I had assumed you had headed out of the vehicle, started at the hatchery, then walked down from there, looking for water to fish.
My brief knowledge of fluvial geography and river morphology suggest to me that (due to the river grade and shape by the Easter Seal run), the river will never truely run down the hatchery way again until it runs it's course through the South branches and then, gradient and erosion will dictate it move back North again. Lots of time, money, and repair can be spent trying to make the river run back to the hatchery, buy you cannot force your "vision" onto nature.
I get around and travel, both up and down.
Good thing about the canyon is it does not really matter if you show a picture, as all of the areas look the same.
I hear guys say "I know your spot, will head there ASAP" all the time.
Truth of the matter is, I head up there a lot and even when I look at photos, have a hard time telling where the guy is. Well, most of the time, it is really impossible to pinpoint where exactly the spots are. Sorry for those of you always trying to guess, but most mossy rocks, cliffs, and runs usually look all the same.
