Akers to Pulltite

[hank franklin]

Thinking of doing an overnight Akers to Pulltite. Anybody floated this stretch? I've heard it doesn't fish particularly well (looking for smallmouth, don't care about trout) but also heard that it doesn't get the aluminum hatch a lot of other sections get. I'll have my kids along and want to avoid the drunks.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

You heard right, it doesn't have much of a smallmouth fishery. As for the aluminum hatch, it's probably a little less populated than Cedargrove to Akers, but it can still have lots of idiots at times. It's a pretty stretch of river, though.

The fishing is poor but there is some great scenery. Cave Spring is really cool, and make sure you take some time to hike up Pulltite Spring Branch after you take out. Pulltite spring branch enters the Current across the river from Campground Group Site 2. Some friends camp down at Pulltite every 4th of July and the river is very crowded. Cheers.
