All I can add is that time on the water and trying what you read here on CDC will get you going quick. WP chain is a sleeper with not too many fishing and lots riding. Traffic has changed since I spent time on it but the fish are there. Have to get the permit and they aren't forgiving if you don't have one. Worth every dime whatever the cost is now.
