I have not been to the river since Sid moved on. Looking forward to returning and meeting the new (to me) crew. What can I expect when I get there? (fishing, crowd, the river...........) Do you all recommend me getting a guide to get re-acquainted with the river? Thanks,

Maybe an obvious question to some, but I'm kinda new, so: Who is/was Sid?

Sid is the previous owner of Beaver Bend Fly Shop. He sold to Eddie @ 2012.

I think most would recommend waiting until the high and dirty water are gone. No use learning a new river when it is nearly blown out. Heck, it has probably changed some just since Mid-February. Eddie's guides know the river pretty well, it's just a matter of personality. As for the river, there is NOTHING the same as pre-2012. ZOne II and III haven't changed much, but the upper river is completely different. If you were familiar with pre-2015 river, you may need a day just to figure out where everything was/is.
Give it a shot, but I would wait until normal releases return.

You may also want to wait until Spring Break is over. Texas is this week and Oklahoma is next. Took almost an hour to drive through the park yesterday.

Oh, dear me, and I'm planning to fish tomorrow! Streamers and a lot of weight.
