tipton ford to reddings mill

[wily]

we floated sunday -- river was in good shape -- pretty good fishing...nothing spectacular but a lot of small bass...i didnt really fish -- just paddled the boy around.  he was catching em pretty good.

river is in good shape to old 71 bridge...after that it nose dives quick.  was a pain with a couple trees across the river.  we were able to stay in the boat for two of them but the third we got out and carried across...at least it was on a gravel bar...other two were deeper water with high banks around -- looked it would have been a pain, so we just skooched thru it.

not sure but i think we passed chief and his bunch -- if not -- maybe chief lost his hat on the river...and the guy we saw found it.

I cut my teeth with overnight floats on that stretch Tipton to old 71. A mile down from tipton is where I would camp. There is a slough with a spring running into it. You could catch all the gills you could handle the occasional bass, and catfish.
