well above average. Well, except for trout. For trout it was way below average. My biggest was an 8 or 9 pounder on the white was all. I didn't ever get too good of numbers in 05 compared to previous years for trout. However, for northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegill, and smallmouth bass it was so much better than 04. Never would I have dreamed of catching 2 pike 20 pounds or better, caught a 6 pound largemouth and several 5 pounders, caught a lot of 3-4 pound smallmouth, and once again hammered the gills with cricket flies. Also, the number of pike I landed in 05 was unrivaled.
So far, 06 is well below average, but that can change.

hatchmaster- I can tell you when #5 is happening. I've been on the river when the salmon fly hatch is happening- it's unreal! I even caught them on a fly/bubble combo, so I bet with a flyrod (a much better presentation of a fly), you will destroy them!
Also, #2....stagecoach.....you WILL get one.
