Dogs usually heal up just fine from a snake bite. No worries.

Dickinson’s own it now and have for years. Not very friendly. Especially if you don’t know them.

It’s the old number 10 bridge. Used to walk to it from the house. Have camped on that riffle many times. Lots of crazy stories about what happened on that bridge and when me and my friends was young none of us would admit how scary it was to camp there lol.

Pack a sleeping bag and some food lol.

Attached is a pic I took of their access lol. At Robinson

I used to live right past Robinson’s bluff on the river. There is no boat access there lol. There’s a large set of stairs descending to the bottom of the bluff. Definitely not an access. No public access between Cherokee and 21. I have a couple private places between those two so may see you on the river one day.

What would all y’all recommend as the most durable chest waders?

Bootleg this time of year is basically a creek. It’s gotten worse in the last few years. Used to be able to spend all day slaying fish from there to M highway. That’s not the case anymore. At least for myself.

Great vid! Solid work!

Can’t say I don’t agree. My concern is I was wondering why the bite has slowed down so much. Thought that could be an option so was getting observation and opinions. I’m more of an aggressive angler. I throw crankbaits a majority of the time and rarely throw in finesse unless I think it’s necessary. With that being said bed fishing isn’t my thing and I hope it didn’t come off that way.

That’s why I’m wondering about beds. We’ve fished every time the river has been fishable. Will be out of the country for over a week after Friday, and today the river looked great so I imagine should be a good weekend to hit the river if I could. I just noticed the last couple times out the bite was tough so didn’t know what everyone was seeing.

Not sure. I think the 31st. In all my years of fishing rivers I have never kept a fish.

Anyone been seeing any fish on beds in the rivers yet. We been flat hammering them up until last week. Not enough fishing time on count of only going when the river drops. Since last week it hasn’t been a good bite for me. Would love to blame the cold front or beds instead of my own skills. What is everyone seeing? I have not laid eyes on a bed yet.

Not trying to be ignorant but as soon as the name of a stream with the qualities you listed. It will probably no longer be quiet or full of fish. Not saying you would be one to destroy a creek but there are trolls on here that will jump in a stream with no regard to how sensitive the ecosystem can be. What might be helpful is that any wadeable stream that has good riffles and some holes should be solid choices.

Does anyone have any idea where a feller can get some parts for a reel. I have a bass pro qualifier i May need a line guide and pawl for?
