Wading The North Fork

[vacation]

My wife and I are considering the north fork tomorrow, but only have one car and one canoe...question is..can we just wade the stream and fish or is that not advisable.

How can we take the canoe and only have one car and still make it back to the car? thanks

Call Justin @ Sunburst. He'll hook you up.

You can go to the first two access points above Hebron and effectively wade and fish for goggle eye and smallmouth and use your canoe to help you out in the deep holes. In fact, you can put in at Hebron and go upstream with a little effort and find some pretty good water. If you are after trout you can wade and fish at Blair Bridge but it is fairly difficult. Pretty easy going down but a little tough coming back to the car. You could NOT go upstream in a canoe.

Thanks for the advice...I might just go to Hebron and wade/canoe up stream and try for smallies...how is the smallie fishing up there?

You'll have a much more enjoyable day if you get a shuttle and float a section. Screw all that work wading and only getting to cover a tiny bit of river. You have the canoe...put it to use. Just sayin'.

Yeah it's a long way to the NFOW to do just a little of it.
