[GITN-JIGY]

You can not drive on river road any more because of turkey season, you have to walk!

Yep, they close the Palmer gate on April 12th, opening day of spring turkey season. Still good fishing to be had right now though further up the river. Stay out of the bottoms along River road though, that's all private property and anti-trespassing is enforced by both LEO's and property owners in the area.

Any idea of another access point farther up river past river road? I had a good time down there and wouldn't mind getting into em again while nolin is slow.

Yes, there are a few places to fish upriver..........but the fishing still should be GOOD in the WMA off Palmer Road throughout May and even into June, before the weather gets hot and the flows diminish. From what I've seen, the fishing has yet to get good over there, although I've heard reports of sporadic catches of white bass.

I have never fished this area upriver of Taylorsville and would like to get in on the action. Can you go that far upriver by boat?

Canoe or kayak possibly but you will still have to make portages around several shallow spots and some downed timber.

Fished down Palmer road and the water was down about 4-5 ft and clear. I could see all the way across. No fish but lots of carp gonna take my bow down there soon

Was out yesterday and saw lots of people crappie fishing, ran into a guy when pulling out at the state dock with his limit around 1 or 2 pm. I trolled for cats all morning with little luck, finally resorted to throwing a watermelon senko in ~12' of water around some timber and caught several nice largemouth in the 2-3# range over about an hour. The bite was very soft and slow but they did seem to be feeding steadily, water temp was right around 63 degrees.
