Oct. 19-20 Report

Our annual fall float/fishing trip was great with beautiful weather and plenty of good fishing in the white ribbon area from Turners Mill to Whitten. The action was great on Friday with little boat or canoe traffic. Our first time Eleven Point fisherman, Joel from Cape, was awful impressed with the beauty of the river and the amount of fish he was able to catch. We also discovered great accommodations in cabins owed by the Hollis' right off AA about midway between Turners Mill and Whitten - about a 15 minute drill to either access, making shuttling ourselves very convenient. On Saturday, the river was a little more crowded, but it was such a beautiful weekend, that was to be expected. But the fishing was still active. I won the contest for biggest fish with an 18", thanks for the $10 Del! Remember Del, it's not a competition.

Mark,

Glad you had a good time, was hoping you guys might stop by for the BBQ. Sherri has some nice cabins, a good price for them as well. She is talking about putting in some RV hook ups this winter on some near by land. Hope she does as we don't have many around here.

Actually, Brian, we thought about stopping by, but felt kind of uncomfortable crashing the BBQ when we aren't fly fishermen and not fishing with you guys. Yeah, they do have nice accomodations, as well as Dave and Rosemary Case with their cottages in Alton. I believe both are relatively new in a business that was sorely needed in the area. We like camping also, but sometimes it's nice to be able to come to the area on a short trip, pack lightly, have a nice comfortable place to stay, and spend the day fishing. We've been coming to the Eleven Point a couple times a year now for the past 11-12 years, and it's just been in the past year that we have found houses to stay in. Really great for older guys like us.
