Harpeth

Extremely Muddy yesterday.

Was more of a boat ride than a fishing trip, but I had to make some casts anyway.  I saw some activity near some laydowns, but couldn't get any strikes. 

I did end up getting honked at by numerous geese that had made nests up and down the river bank and on some of the small islands.

Had a blast regardless of the poor fishing.

Where abouts did you float?  It was still muddy in Franklin yesterday. I usually cross it two places during the day. Once on Mack Hatcher near Lewisburg Pike, and once downtown Franklin.

Have you ever fished it above Mack Hatcher near Forset Crossings?

I was all the way down near the Cumberland off of Hwy 49.  I put in at the little park there and motored about a 1.5 miles upstream.  I've never taken my Riverhawk in some of the upper sections of the Harpeth, but would like to.

Do you use a canoe or motorized boat?

[RonS]

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
