They were a lot of fun.  Thats interesting water through there.  At Crighton its basically boring frog water, but when you paddle down a ways, it turns into a very small creek again, and then past that it opens up to wide deep water and you think you've arrived at the back-up from the lake, but then it changes again back to creek.  We did a lot of dragging separated by lots of paddling.  Fish seemed to be concentrated in certain spots.  In one small hole I caught 5 nice greenies on 5 consecutive casts.  And they were aggressive. Then the next hole had nothing.  Weird.

 

 

How long you think that section takes you? Just wondering if an after work trip on that would be possible while still being able to do a bit of fishing.

it took us 3 1/2 hours to cover that 3.2 miles.  But we were in canoes and with kids.  I imagine a kayak would go quicker.  The last mile and a half or so was lake which we paddled through.  Wouldn't want to do that if the wind was blowing.

Would be better to take out at the Hwy 60 bridge if you could.  Or old iron bridge a little further down, but that access was closed.

Is the Hwy 60 bridge area a good access area?  I've never tried it.
