River Condition Below Bennett Springs

[stinger160]

Tentatively planning to do a float trip Monday. Is the river in decent shape below Bennett (I thought that might be best with the inflow from the Spring)?

I was wondering the same thing. Can you post a report when your done please?

Just floated from Barclay down last weekend- only had to get out of canoe one time during the trip to walk. I was pretty heavy loaded up for a 3 day trip as well. There are a few spots you need to take the right line, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Floated Wednesday from Bennett to NRO. It is in good shap. A bit low and crystal clear but in good shape.

Thanks guys. Will let you know how it goes.

River was low but only dragged a couple of times. Lots of very shallow water, only a few deeper holes holding fish, at least for me. Floated bennett to near barclay and caught just 6 or 7 smallmouth. Most on plastics of one sort or another, a couple on jerkbait.

Bummer to hear that- putting in Friday at Barclay and taking out Sunday at Leadmine. Hope we have better luck, but if we don't it looks like weather will make it a great trip' mid 80's during day and low 60's at night- perfect!
