Has anyone ever fished this while wading? A few friends and I are making our annual trip; we fish three days on the river, driving to Spring River Oaks, Many Islands and Saddler Falls. I am kind of leaning towards not incorporating Saddler Falls, as we catch fish, but they seem smaller there in years past. I spoke with the woman who owns it, she was very nice but eluded that only the set of falls there is wadable...the rest is only accessible via boat. Also, she mentioned the trout are not as numerous, but walleye and bass species are more prevalent. Anyone have any insight?

In looking at my original post; I noticed that I mentioned the "flood of 2012". I usually come in the spring when there has been much more rain; obviously, I meant to ask about the DROUGHT of 2012. Hillarious. Thanks for the heads up, I was not aware of a campsite called Mammoth Spring Campground. The only place i knew of up there around town was the RV park area immediately downstream from the spring. Cant wait to get down there next Wednesday; I hope all the ignorant partiers are long gone.

Will be heading down with a couple friends in a couple weeks; wa sjust wondering how the flood of 2012 has impacted the river. I have been coming to the river since i was a child, and i realize that the water levels don't fluctuate as much due to the spring, and I do monitor the guage readings in Hardy; but I wonder what condition it's in? Specifically, we will be hitting Saddler Falls (if open), Many Islands and Spring River Oaks. Also, since it will be the final weekend of the month, and i know a few places close on Oct. 1st, I was wondering if there is one last explosion of ridiculouss canoers and partiers that hit the water? I am usually there in the early spring, before Memorial Day, and have only made one fall trip in the past. -James
