Latest River Report

[Brian Sloss]

Greer down to Riverton is clear enough for boat or canoe traffic, though you must go around the left side of the first island below the Greer boat ramp. The river is still quite high, but experienced floaters should able to handle themselves as long as they are cautious and don't make any silly decisions. Fishing will be tough until the water comes down some more, but the sloughs can be productive (ie stair-step hole for pickerel, bass and occasionally a trout---first island below Greer). Calling the forest service tomarrow to see if they are going to start clearing the upper river this week as the water looks great up at Thomasville, but there are some nasty blockages now. I'll be allowing experienced people out in my canoes starting this week, assuming the water continues downward.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted on the forest services plans to clean up the upper river. We hope to fish in May. NO RAIN!

Thanks, Brian, we are planning on heading down this Friday if the weather is OK. Looking forward to seeing the changes.
