Thumbs up Lower Lehigh river float trip 4/21/18:

Did ok. A little more "urban" than what I am used to when floating say the West Branch in New York but none the less a very interesting stretch of water.
Loads of fast water, and killer deep holes ! I want to hit the upper "gorge" soon. Stuck to jigs and caught fish, by afternoon when the bugs started there were fish breaking surface all over the place. Nice as it's only a 90 minute drive from home.

Each got 10, rolled half as many and had twice that in follows right up to the boat. Really cool stretch of water, boat was very wide and comfortable.
32* at start, close to 60* at the end of the 11 mile float.

Good to hear you had a decent trip. With all the river clean ups you do, you deserve a day on the water relaxing.

In Pa. life jackets required in boats under 15 feet in length until May 1st.
Loads of white water in the lower section, can't wait to see the upper section.
