Great report. Good to catch and release fish while catching and not releasing trash. If diapers are up there I should plastic gloves to my recommendation always to take a trash bag there.

How far up the river did you go; about how many pools above the one with the rope swing (#5?)? Did you go all the way up to Gibraltar, or to the last legal pool (# 7 I believe; the second to last below Gibraltar?)

It's good that you try everything except crawlers.
