First taste of the Current

[Slowtime]

Had a fun time on the Current last week. Never had been to the area before. Floated Thursday-Saturday, Cedargrove-Pulltite. Stayed at Reeds in the state park. More of a fun float with several other couples, but took the fishing poles Thurs and Fri. Several SM and a few trout in the usual river hangouts.  Assume fishing would be great early in the week and maybe even further down river.  How far down before you deal with powerboat traffic??

 

The crowds were building as the weekend approached. Similar to the country fair on water by Saturday. Got lots of new tattoo ideas and learned some new colorful language.

Jetboats will go all the way up to Cedargrove, and in good water even above.  But in low summer water levels, you shouldn't see many until you get below Round Spring, and they may not be obnoxious until you get below Two Rivers.

This should give you an idea of what you can expect to run into down there.  Above Akers in the summer the 10 hp limit should keep most of the jets well down stream from ya.  Weekends will bring crowds of all kinds though!
