Hi Folks!
Last weekend we paddled the Etowah River in Dawson Forest; River Park to Kelly Bridge.
Over the years I've kind of avoided this stretch of river because this portion of the Etowah is very small and there are fallen tree blockages on the reg. Last weekend as kind of an "paddle through and check it out" trip. We didn't fish a whole lot.
We did have to paddle through 5 or 6 strainers, where someone has sawed/cut out a pass. There are also several trees "ready to go" looming over the river. So the risk of having to port is there still.
With that said, has anyone had any fishing success on this stretch of river?
I'm going back this Saturday and plan to fish it for bass and panfish. Pretty much my game plan is 6lb class tackle, 4 inch worms and 2 inch rapala divers. And maybe a few different size rooster tails and beetle spins.
Anyone got any tips for this stretch of river?
