Barton, ScottBarton, Adam; Barton, Scott On the water at 0700 and off at 1900! A full day on the river, with the smallies holding tight to structure in moderate current, chasing a craw pattern. Fishing was tough on the backside of a storm system, but we managed to pull a few quality fish out. This stretch has numerous long, stagnant pools, so I would not recommend this float unless their is more water.On the water at 0700 and off at 1900!

I expected the water would have receded back to normal and perhaps even be too low to float due to the small watershed.The river was fairly high and murky due to the massive rainfall event over this area last week (Wed night into Thu).

Law, KyleBarton, Adam; Greenstreet, Michael; Greenstreet, Miles; Law, Kyle Michael's Bachelor Party Fishing Trip was a fun day on the water. There is a large tree that is across the river just downstream from the Dry Knob Access, which is difficult to navigate, regardless of water level. The fishing was a little slow, with my 16.5" smallie being the largest one caught that day. We had the water to ourselves all day and were off the river by 1730.Michael's Bachelor Party Fishing Trip was a fun day on the water.

Greenstreet, MichaelBarton, Adam; Greenstreet, Michael On the water by 0700 and the river was low. We had moderate success fishing, but the full moon the night before may have allowed the fish to eat all night causing them to be pretty finicky for us. There are several lengthy portages due to downed trees across the river. One tricky spot in the river caused my kayak to shift course and my rods were snapped on a rootwad in the middle of a riffle. Overall, a fun float on a new river, but needs more water to be excellent.On the water by 0700 and the river was low.
