This stretch of river does have a lot of boats and most of the people fishing the river do not slow down for the fishermen who bass fish beccause they can not wait to get to the trout area. The fishing has been tough the years I have fished it. It is only occasionally I have a good day on fish between 1 and 2 pounds. I think in the years I have fished it, I have only caught one fish over 3 pounds. On Saturdays and Sundays the water along the banks will be muddy because of the boat traffic.
