Well, we got back from our trip. It was a great 2 days.
We left out at daylight from 75 bridge on Saturday and slow floated down a bit. The water level was perfect and gauge was showing around 500cfs
We fished the entire way, all day. Fishing was not great and we only manage a few small smallies. But the day was a good temperature and the area was beautiful. At around 5 pm we started looking for a campsite. We were slightly half way past the midpoint of our trip. We decided to go a bit farther to find a deep hole below some current to throw out a fat chub minnow in hopes i a walleye. No luck there, but a warm fire and some warm beef stew and a late night toddy was perfect
We woke Sunday morning to a heavy frost and our water in our cooler had frozen. We made coffee and has breakfast and then loaded up and off we went. The day warmed and we went on to catcha few more smallies, no size. At around 2pm we made it to the take out at billows bridge. The carry out was a bit steep but was a good location and not very far.
All in all, a great trip. Fishing was not good but was a really strong cold front. The area is secluded and remote, which we liked. Next time, gonna hope for better fishing.
