Default Highwood

Heading up to the Highwood near Strawberry Equestrian Campground and thought I'd see if anyone has been there recently, how's the fishing?
Anything interesting happening up there?
thanks!

I haven't fished Spray Lake for years...and years.
I think we'll focus on the Highwood, Etherington maybe the Oldman...etc.

sloken, do you recall seeing much midge action? Were you upstream or downstream of the Strawberry Equestrian Camp?

thx again!
