June 13,14, And 15th Trip

We started our trip at the Cane Bluff Access area and floated to Riverton. The first stretch of the float from Cane Bluff to Greer Spring was absolutly great smallmouth bass fishing. We probably caught 30 to 35 fish between the four of us and most of our fish were between 13 and 14.5", we did catch one really nice smallie that was 16.5" and 3 other fish that went just over 15" and yes we put them all back like true sportsman. Most of the smallies were caught on either a plastic crawdad or a 5" senko. The second day of the trip we fished the Blue Ribbon area and only caught 2 fish. The first fish was a 13" smallie and the second was a 17.5" Rainbow right at the end of the trophy area (We really wanted to catch a keeper in the Trophy area but came up just short). Once we got the the White Ribbon area we started to catch some more fish I think we ended up keeping 6 Rainbows ranging in size from about 12" to 17"(most caught on crawdad tails fished 18" below a split-shot and drifted in the current) and a couple of little smallies too. One of my buddies hooked into a monster Rainbow about 5 pm on Saturday and never could get it to the bank, but that fish had some awsome power. Those trout were great cooked over the camp fire. The last day of the trip we fished a little, but we mostly just tried to paddle off our hangovers and get to Riverton, but we did manage to catch a few smallies and one more trout before we took out. We had a blast fishing the river and the people a Eleven Point Canoe Rental were great too. We're already looking foward to going back next year. I'll post some pictures when my buddy emails them too me.

Sounds like a great time! I can't wait to float the Eleven Point. I've been meaning to do it for years, but I always get distracted by the other rivers on my way down.

Thanks for the report, glad you had a good time. Hope to see you down here again soon.

Here are some pictures of the trip. We didn't take pictures of them all, but we got a few when we were thinking about it.
