Is that the water Greenbrier Rd. bridges over? I didn't see a good put in place, but it looks very fishy?? I fished it last weekend, and put in at the bridge. Got a cut up leg for my troubles and the south wind blew me all over the place. but as i said it looks very fishy. Is there a better put in place for a kayak?

Nice mess of fish DB.

Sorry for the slow response, busy with work.

Wonderful. I'll try not to get eaten or bitten.

That's not where I thought you were at all. Have you ever put in near where Greenbrier bridges over what I think is beaver dam creek? It looks pretty fishy.

I've done well from the bridge downstream, but upstream is almost dry during the winter draw down. I've never catch much above. I've been told that the bass stack in the area when they're spawning.

Cool. there's a creek just east and on the south side of the river from Blackwell swamp. Ever fished through there. I found a couple of bridges further south that look like good put in spots for that creek -- I have no idea of it's name. Is it good fishing?
