The 6th and 7th of June I am doing the over night float from hooten town down. And I was wondering if anyone has floated this ateech beofr. I want to know if the fishing is good on that stretch and also what the river is like. I plan on mostly smallmouth and Google eye fishing and running a trout line at night. All info is much appreciated. Tight lines everyone

There is some awesome spots to fish down in that area, but to me it seems the river changes about 1/3 into that float and becomes wider and a little more filled in with lots of areas which aren't very deep. With that said, it has 2 of my favorite fishing holes in it. There are lots and lots of catfish in that stretch and usually a good population of white bass if you can find the correct pools to throw a minnow into. Have fun.

That's a long haul but it sounds like fun. Be interested to see how your line does at night.

I've done it, last year actually. Did not care for it, there is a long stretch called "the marble grounds" where the river is wide and flat. Also not a lot of good gravel bars for camping. I prefer Shelvin to McCall.

I didn't know whore bass ran up that far. But will give it a shot. Going to use chicken liver and worms for catfish. Might fish for bass at night also. Will let everyone know of how the trip goes. Thank you guys for the info

That is a good section to float you're gonna cover 22 miles of water so there will be plenty of fish and the river is in good shape this year you shouldn't need to drag much if any.

Lol meant white. Don't know how I didn't see that

There are usually some in the river but not like when they are spawning. I caught one on a ned at AA Wheeler branch a few days ago.
