I've liked fishing here upstream from the bridge in the past but couldn't for the past few years while they were building a new bridge. It ended up being more difficult to get going than in the past. I had to wade a lot sooner than expected to clear the very low water. I was able to run the motor for close to a mile, then wade 1/3 before I could paddle some. One of my favorite areas is gone, floods completely rearranged it. Eventually I was able to motor up near the dam before beginning to work my way down and finally start fishing.
Just a few casts and I was starting out small.
I ended up with six smallies, none bigger than 12". Also had a really aggressive fallfish chasing my small crankbait back and forth right next to my kayak before finally hooking up and then dropping off once I lifted it from the water.
I tried trolling a bit through a deeper section. After dealing with a snag and getting going again the rod bent over hard again but it wasn't a snag.
Shortly after that while making some casts I thought I had snagged a rock again. But it was this that stopped the crankbait hard. At first I thought I had a giant fallfish. A 20" white sucker. First time catching one of these.
The trip down was a lot quicker since I could ride the rapids instead of wading the shore.
In the past I've been the only one of the river, but today there were about a dozen kayaks and jon boats on the upper stretch of the river.
