floating the nolin river

[kc]

I appreciate the first hand feed back. That 27 inch 'eye is sure a nice one. I've seen them up north that size but not many down this way. Taking out at Broad Ford would be fun going up that hill. Maybe one day I might do a pleasure trip with my wife and scout out that whole upper river section and go through to Bacon creek. I always wondered how far up the river the fish went and it sounds like quite a bit past Broad Ford. With it being the first major riffle on the river I thought that might be where the 'eyes did most of their spring business. Thanks again for the response.

Actually there are four good ripples between broad ford and bacon creek. One being broad ford, the next one i'd say has the most meat of all, the third a minor one and the last right above bacon creek wich can get pretty good and can get u in trouble if you don't hit it right. You need to float before they start holding back the lake to catch em otherwise It will be a flat float once lake is up to summer pool.

14' flat bottom 9.9 mercury depending the depth of mud on the ramp u can launch at bacon creek. My mercury has a shallow water tilt and i have run through all 4 of the rippels beleve me at times i was sweating bullets. I wear my waders in case i have to pull boat through at bacon creek. Water is swift,shallow and very rocky both upstream and down from ramp. If you make it through first ripple you,ve got it prettywell made til next ones going upstream. Swift water not really dangerous water in my opnion. Worst part is around ramp for a few hunred yards up and down stream of ramp.

checked with my neighbor he walks the bank. Said he went to broad ford today. He caught his limit of white bass ,but got no walleye. River is clear and low which doesn't help matters. Said he talked to other guys that didn't catch anything. white bass were in the riffels. He recomends fishing on down river where water is a little deeper. Bacon creek on down. This guy is 74 yrs. old and retired pretty much bet he's out there everyday loading up the freezer. Said there wasn't hardly anyone down there today. been to busy to go myself hope this helps.
