The Harpeth had good bass fishing back then. No where near the boat and canoe traffic as now.
We used to be able to fish the South Harpeth in a few areas and it was great smallmouth waters. I think most landowners have shut that down now. It is considered a non navigable stream so permission to access is required.
Good luck to ya!
Yep, my mistake but I was close....lol My Uncle use to live just over the hill on Cedar Hill road and his house sat back off the road. I have kin folks living all over back in there. We use to live in Petway and that was how we would go visit my uncle and aunt. Back when I lived down there we would float the river in jon boats fishing the river between the bridges and have vehicle parked at the bridge we would be taking out at. Caught a ton of Smallmouths and Catfish on them floats but like you said, most land owners have stopped folks from parking by the bridges for take out. If you don't know the land owner they will have your vehicle towed.
I think these days the only launch site is the one at the Narrows where you can use the canoe slide to launch and you can take out just below the Harris-Street Bridge at old boyscout camp. That is still a great float. Most folks don't know that if you launch at the narrows and take the float it is 6 miles of river you can float and fish and take out at the bridge. By road you can walk from one place to the other in about 20 minutes but by river it's about 4-5 hours.
My son still lives down there and he knows folks so he can still float the bridges cause the land owners know him and my grandsons............
