Looking For An Opinion...

[catman70]

Finally going to float the Piney this weekend. Was looking for opinions on the best stretches:

– Slabtown to FR 1792

– FR 1792 to Ross Bridge

– Moab to Devil's Elbow

Thanks for your help!

Most crowded section will probably be the one above Ross Bridge. Least crowded might be the Slabtown stretch. All three are good fishing. I think the stretch above Ross is the most scenic.

Thanks, Al. I think we will stay in the trophy section. Looks like the shuttle may be a little longer for the less crowded section, but it may be worth it. I'll let you know how we do.

Floated from 6-Crossings down to Ross Bridge on Saturday. Started out slow and a little rainy, but as the day went on the fishing and the weather picked up. Caught several large goggle-eye and many smallmouth on soft-plastic crawdad imitations of assorted colors. Largest smallie was 16.5" with a couple others at or near 14.5". Many others less than 14 with a few simultaneous hook-ups. Seems that the larger ones were holding very close to woody cover - rootwads and downed trees. Smaller fish could be found throughout the river.
