pgw, Thanks for the background, apologies it took me a while to acknowledge. Been melting in the Midwest!
You're right that if the canoe traffic isn't too bad, it shouldn't interfere with the fishing; but when I saw all nine canoes out in Sept. of '09, there was little sign of trout to be caught in the shallow margins, where I was used to getting a few on dries in previous years. True, it was Labor Day weekend, which is pretty busy, but the difference was radical compared to the years before the rentals. The folks just seem to like paddling around the edges rather than through the middle.
I know you said you would fish early and late, but in my experience of that time of year, the peak callibaetis hatch starts about one to two p.m., and since it's usually breezy too, this is an easier time to fool a few trout, with a ripple on the water.
btw, did you ever see the winged termite fall at Manzanita? - awesome fishing!
