Does it look like it in the right spot? It on a slide down from the dam were they going into the water by a culvert that's blocked up by the dam. Not sure how to turn pics?

When you upload a picture it asks you to "choose" a file and then "add". Once you add the pic you can preview it before you hit the "done" button. It gives you the option to rotate the picture before you hit "done". Go give it a try, you can always delete it.

You might have to zoom out after downloading your pictures to see the rotation option. Most of us miss that part before we hit the done button.

If you found a place where there are very fresh cuttings and chewing there will most likely be some fresh trails where they are coming out of the water to cut. Good spots for a 330 or two. Keep at it! You will score one of these days and then you are hooked. Moosetrot
