The large back eddy (known as Big Eddie) just below the helipad (locally known as Alien's Landing) is a good place to fish, but it presents a few challenges:

• The back eddy flow will make the fish face downstream on the side that's adjacent the shoreline.  The side closest to the river still runs downstream.  Getting the right motion our of your fly can be challenging.
• A majority of the fish you'll find in there are white perch.  Watch the dorsal spines.  I've been stuck a few times
• Hint – there may or may not be some very large fish in there.  They may or may not have lines down the sides of their bodies, and they may or may not be caught with topwater plugs on spinning gear.
• Your 4wt will be way too light for the above opportunity.
