Great! We recently went back to the Keystone Arches but this time with spinner rods! We caught no trout but it was fun to sit and cast under the bridges.
That is a beautiful stretch of river. One of those spots that when you get to it, if you don't have a fishing pole with you, you sure wish you did.
If you haven't been to the old Hudson-Chester Quarry, Bob, you should definitely go check it out. It's right up your alley with the old vehicles and all!
