Be safe, Enjoy your trip and hope for no head wind. I've been canoeing/camping this stretch of river for over 30 years.

Some advice:

Watch out for poison ivy! It's everywhere. Bring some firewood if you have room.

Keep an eye on the weather and secure your rides each evening. The river can rise very fast from upstate/upstream rains floating your once dry canoe away.

Secure your belongings with tarps and bungees. There are some decent rapids you will encounter. Make sure you stay to the left after the matamorus bridge! There's a nasty drop off that stretches 3/4 way across the river. Stay vigilant and keep your eyes peeled for the car size rocks scattered throughout the trip.

Freeze water bottles for ice or p/u some dry-ice. You'll be craving a cold drink 4 days into your trip.

Hope for clear water and not rain swollen chocolate milk.

As far as fishing bring a few boxes of nightcrawlers, mepps gold aglia #2 and #3, Joe's gold spinner flies, 4" senkos, leadheads and grubs, sammies and other topwaters work well on smallies.

I've always had luck fishing the west shores over the eastern shores. Rapids and fast moving water will get you some trout, smallies, fall fish, rockfish and panfish. The deeper slow pools will give up the walleyes on plugs and cranks. At the campsites in the evening use worms to catch up big catfish and carp.

Water came up quick after the storms yesterday. Skunk and company, you guys alright out there??? The rivers probably shitted up, concentrate on fishing those creek mouths where the waters a little cleaner. Fish will be hiding in those eddys and running up the small creeks do to the high water. Perfect river Striper and Cat conditions. Catch an Eel and throw him right back in!!!!!!
