Quick questions: Twin Rivers area

[Mark]

Heading out tomorrow for a couple days and need some help. I am thinking of setting up base camp at or near Twin Rivers access or Powder Mill access. I have 2.5 HP motor on my canoe and not wanting to shuttle or haul gear to float camp if possible to cover a few miles of water from base camp. Is there enough water at either place where I can get upriver and downriver with my prop? I don't mind walking thru occassional shallows. I may have asked this before and forgot - I thought someone said I could- and don't follow river gauges enough to know but guessing it is a little above or at normal summer flow with occassional rain we have been getting. Thanks in advance. Mark

Yes. There will be very little dragging upstream required.

Upstream from Powder Mill or Two Rivers or both? Which are you recommending? When I say Powder Mill, I am referring to the old Owl's Bend and not Powder Mill CG nearer Van Buren. I'm thinking about camping at Two Rivers and floating one day from Eninence back to camp. IF I decide to pay for a shuttle, that is.

I would think putting in at Powder Mill near Owl Bend would be easier and decent fishing. I've caught fish above and below PM.

I would probably opt for putting in at Two Rivers and fish downstream for a ways. There is a major riffle maybe a mile above Powder Mill that might give you trouble running up it. I would stop my downstream from Two Rivers before that riffle. I have more pleasant memories in the fish few miles below Two Rivers.
