Going for a camp and kayak float this weekend.  Anyone been out lately for a good report?  A few years ago in early May me and some buddies floated NRO to leadmine over a couple days.  Had the best river trip ever!  Started off catching several decent trout, then changed to Smallmouth about 5-6 miles down stream with the occasional bow still getting caught even as far as 15 miles down stream from NRO!  Once we got into the smallies real good it was a banner weekend.  Between 3 of us we caught over 250 smallies (all catch and release-  Free. The. Fighter!).  Hoping to get into that again this weekend.  We intend to float 7-8 miles in one day; maybe One Eyed Willies to OldHam's?

I haven't looked at it last couple days but it was way up but should be back down. The high water should have stirred things around which should be good.

I was out this morning, I did catch fish, but the river is still moving pretty quick and a little murky. The gravel bars I usually stop are covered by 2 feet of water. Spinner bait around logs, running square bills/wiggles warts over boulders/logs. I’m a young guy (19) and play college football and I found myself a little nervous in some areas with how the water was moving. I was between Barclay and Eldridge. Be safe, good luck!
