Sorry for the short report but my bed is calling me. Canoed the lower section on saturday, from reed green bridge to the mouth. Wasn't able to fish as I was trying to catch up to everyone else in the float party. Thought they were only 20 minutes in front of me, turns out some mullet had written the wrong time down, they were 2 1/2 hours in front of me. Finally caught them at the mouth. Cripes. Anyways, I talked to half a dozen guys while I was zooming past and the story was the same, no steelies, only some small ones..
Sunday we floated from high bridge to reed green. I fished with a panther martin spinner and took 2 brookies and 1 bow. All the fish were about 6". Lots of portages in this strech but some real nice country to look at, beautiful river! Nice to hear the wind blowing in the pines. Since I showed up on Sat, the flies showed up on Sun. Not sure what kind they were, (acted like baby black flies) but they were tearing us up. We learned that they like dark color shirts and that off repelent isn't worth a poop!! I have probably about 100 bites on me! Bring your bug suit!
