I used to wade it, then bought a canoe. Floated around Franklin a little. Sold the canoe and haven't been back.
I keep a rod at the office just in case I get the chance to slip out early. I cross it a time or two, or three if I take the scenic route, on my way home from work. So far it's been high and muddy both times I had time. Dang it.
I've never been on it down river where you were. One of these days. I see we have a new member here that fishes creeks a lot. I'll bet he has been from one end to the other. He'll probably chime in when he gets time.
Good fishin,
Ron
