Went up Juniper creek Sunday to ck on river levels & conditions @ Sweetwater. Was very peacefull until I got to the spring at Sweetwater. There I found the run roped off & No Tresspassing signs all over the place...Not sure if the signs were legit, but any river which flows freely is not supposed to be blocked off or restricted. In addition, there seemed a lot of hoopla going on inside the property, & I wondered if the state hands out permits this early in the year-! I think not. The run itself still ran clear & blue with a lot of stripped bass swimming down below. Lots of turtles & water fowl as well. A nice day to be on the water-!
