BATCAB27 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Anybody know if it's floatable/fishable down from cyclone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew03cmc Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I doubt that it is floatable. There are some pools that will have water, but the floatable water is few and far between. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chub minnow Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Definitely not floatable. Barely wadeable. The creek literally disappears at almost every drop. It did come up a little with the rain (from 0.5 cfs to 9 cfs!). I was down there and wade fished around the conservation area and Owl's Nest and there are a few skinny smallies in the pools, but they've had so many cast nets thrown at them this summer that I doubt you'll get a bite. I'm almost positive that all of the fish of any size have been liberated by those less conservation minded citizens (and non-citizens) among us. I think the resident eagles and herons have taken the rest. There are a few nice LM in there, but I'm not telling where . Love your Avatar by the way! Go Hogs!!

chub minnow Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You can probably float from Pineville on down. The canoe hatch is over, you'll have the river to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Its been raining all day, up there. that could continue through the weekend. fishing should be off the chain. Have any of yall launched a jonboat at Shadow Lake? Im going to give that a try this fall. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chub minnow Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I was wrong earlier, there are tons of fish between Cyclone and Big Rock. It is NOT easily floatable though. I would not recommend trying to do this section unless you really enjoy boat dragging / portaging. I was in it for the exercise so it was ok, but I was ready to be done after the 6th and final portage. All of the fly rod fish came on a #6 black sex dungeon. I caught a bunch in deeper pools with the spinner on a small craw bug. The water rise really had them out and eating. Saw lots of snakes too - fortunately they were moving slow.
