On Father's day, my son and I fished Willow Springs starting at 4pm. Caught a bunch of trout and a few smallies using emergers, and fish seemed to be close to the surface. At about 6:30, the fish started rising, and we used same sized 16 emerger with elk hair caddis size 12. It was great float tube fishing, especially with my son.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a trip with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first trip has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second trip, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
