Skunk.....Me and my wife go kayaking there a few times each summer......While going down the river I have seen smallmouth, walleye, shad, and muskies under the kayak...The water is crystal clear. The scenery is beautiful.....The river is awesome and breathtaking in parts.....I suggest packing light and bring a cheap rod just in case you tip and lose stuff...You don't need anything fancy....Go to Walmart and buy a 20.00 combo ..I bring a 5'6" Ug;y stick and a Daiwa Crossfire rod w/ 6 pound mono and have a blast w/ those smallmouth all day long.....If you lose it, no biggie...It's not worth it to lose good rods and reels ...Enjoy the scenery...Fishing is a bonus.......As for tackle, If you want to catch fish,I would bring plenty of Mepps and rooster tail type type spinners, and also Rebel Pop-R's in baby bass and silver/black(the 2" model)...Also anything resembling a crayfish will work miracles as that is the main forage...A Rebel Crayfish or small crankbaits in crayfish will work....Also, they sell disposable throwaway underwater cameras for 20.00 at Walgreens...get a few of these as well...leave your cell phone onshore....you never know when you may hit a rock/ or rapids and tip...trust me it's not worth ruining a great weekend and losing stuff like this...Pack your wallet in a sandwich bag in case you tip.......plan in advance and you will have a great weekend.....Also one more suggestion....bring a small cooler and pack it w/ food and snacks and fruit....you get hungry and thirsty being on the river all day....I like to bring a box of Natures Valley bars and get trail mix and/or mixed nuts for the ride....and I usually end up cutting up pineapple,strawberries,blueberries,orange pieces and an apple.....It sounds like alot but it's healthy and won't mess your stomach up....You can always go swimming if it gets hot(not likely this weekend though).....Have a great time!!!....Keep an eye in the sky for Eagles....they are abundant up there.....
