Up The River I Go
I decided that i was not going to let a little low water ruin my love for the river, and i just did it. I put in at the trout hatchery and moved up stream. To my surprise there were other people floating down the river. My favorite section of river i have done so far was from the hatchery down in the late spring. The trout were great and lots of them. I was fishing for small mouth, and i took about 10 in the 5 hours i was on the water. Nothing to brag about 13" about the biggest, but the location is awesome and the river is beautiful. I would take any river trip and have nice things to look at over a pond and houses any day. The other big upside is no power boats or ski's. There was an old woman and her dog on the bank having a good time, chasing frogs. There were a lot of shallows, and good pools, if i went with a second person and went down stream only it would have been better and a lot less work, but i still had a great time. Stopped at the 205 crossing due to time and running low on steam fighting up river, took only 30 or so min to go back down to the hatchery to take out.
