We were on the upper (Steel to Kyle's) mainly just taking in the scenery, but I decided to bring my pole and try and catch a few. All I can say is OMG, it was a terrible idea. Should have just left the pole at home during this busy weekend. I would bet there was over 200 canoes on that stretch. Only caught a few perch. Everybody else I talked to that had a pole said the said. Just too many people on the river to fish.
