Troutfiend, the Current is kind of a mess in the summer, but there are ways to get around it and still have some good fishing. Not many people put in upstream of Baptist Camp, so you won't deal with many canoes up there, although there will be plenty of wade fisherman. But if you are willing to fish early morning, or late evening, when the fishing is best anyway during the summer, you can fish anywhere you like without canoes bothering you much. Honestly, during mid-day in summer (when the canoes are thick) the fishing will be pretty slow anyway even without canoes, so it kind of works out. A typical mid-summer day on the Current for me involves getting up really early in the morning to fish, staying out until about 9:30, then going swimming, sightseeing, or otherwise killing time until about 6:30. Then I get back on the water and fish hard until after dark.
Also if you can go on a weekday that will help tremendously.
Agreed, and don't forget about the trico hatches either. You can get into some decent fish on top but you gotta get there early.
