me and 2 friends went on a canoe trip yesterday on the harpeth between mccrory lane and gosset tract. it took us about seven hours due to the low water levels. But we managed to catch over 10 smallmouth, 5 largemouth, and a few brim, all on rooster tails. i had a two pound(at least) smallmouth get off. but it was a good day. sorry no pics buddy dropped my phone in water

yeah, we underestimated to say the least. Water clarity was different in most places but looked better than the highway 100 clarity. temp i have no idea.

I meant, did you need waders for the water? I've been cooped up in the house for the past few weeks with my newborn and wife, I've got to get out!

That was a long float for those kinds of flows. I've done parts of that float in the spring, and the water can get rippin'.
