thanks for the hospitality you guys... its always nice to have someone to discuss diffent techniques and things of that sort with.
Looks like the river will be around 4.5 ft i would launch at twin bridges and take out either in town or after the town loop drift. You can cover that water in about 5 hours fishing it fairly well. I would side drift or bobber dog the long stretches. I would anchor up for lunch and run some plugs out the back . I would also bobber and jig/bait fish any good looking runs. Good luck and be safe.
Dont launch at moonshine below 5 ' , and i would not try it above 5' unless you know what your doing on the sticks. A guy lost his boat last weekend on that run, apparently he had ran that stretch dozens of times before he sank the boat with three guys in it.

Where did he lose it at?
well we fished all day yesterday and got no steelies but we caught probably 10 or 15 trout. only saw one other boat that had a fish and they let out farther upstream. but oh well it was a good day of fishin.
