That's a nice ammonite photo Les. I wonder how they would have tasted sauteed with butter?

OK Goober....I will explain the tone of that post to you. I live in this community. I spend a lot of time on the river just visiting with friends who take their kids down there to fish. It embarrasses me to see So called sportsmen splash thru the pools bait fishermen are fishing....while they will carefully avoid disturbing the water being fished by fly fishermen. As I said before...The river is NARROW!!!! The sand bass run attracts a fairly large crowd. Why would you want to screw up someone else's fishing spot on the way to your own?
I can tell by your own smartass reply that you don't get it. Coming down the river in your plastic boat will have a negative effect on several other people's fishing. Has nothing to do with territorial waters ....it has to do with respect....

Trout Bum thanks for your reply. You seem to understand that I am not familiar with that river. I was making an assumption on the width of the river based on your top photo. Your post helped me understand this time of year and that part of the river might not be ideal for kayaking, for that I thank you. You are alright in my book. As for the joker in the airboat you mentioned, maybe he too got some sort of double handed confusing E-lecture and decided to piss everyone off. :p That does suck that he ruined everyones fishing like that.
Thanks for an additional E-Lecture Budd you truly have brightened my day. Posts like yours make me want to go buy a jet ski and see how far up river it will go
Some people simply do not know deal with people!

Time to back off gents and take a few deep breaths.
My two cents as a moderator.
Never been to the Nolan, Budd has. Sounds like he's seen a few non-sportsmen on the river.
A sportsman is someone who respects the natural resources as well the other sportsmen (and not so sportsmen) sharing the resource. No matter whether they fling flies, chuck spinners, or drown worms while sitting on a bucket, it's the sportsman attitude that makes the difference.
Please don't wear any shoes that don't fit is probably the best way I can put it. Scouting a little bit, making sure one isn't busting through where others are fishing, before launching is always a good idea.

My friend and I decided to fish the Nolan yesterday by Rocky Creek. The rain from the previous day killed everything. The water was moving way to fast even in the creek. Even though we didnt catch anything, not even a bite. We decided to scout the place and see where some good spots are at.
Trount Blum, Is the pics that you posted. Are those the cliffs by Rocky Creek?

Be careful walking along those bluffs.....after a really hard rain there is a danger of falling rocks....rockslides. If you drive into Blum and cross the river at the bridge just outside of town, you can get a pretty good idea of how it is running.

we did see that.. we pretty much just scouted around to see where some good spots might be. We did fish some but nothing was biting. We also went out to Nolan Park and the water was alot calmer. No luck there either.

When the water settles down a little....the real run will get going. They will be all the way to the bridge in Blum pretty quickly. Be careful parking and leaving your car at Nolen River Park. Do not leave anything valuable in it while you are gone. That place has had problems for years.

okay, so I went to the Nolan river today. Have access on private property, so I don't know where I was in relation to any bridge. My guess would be that I wasn't far from public access since I saw some others walking the river. It sounds like I was a day late. Our group caught 10 fish and half of them were small blacks. A guy came by and said he caught 100 yesterday from where I was standing. A day late? Really?

swalker9513, It can be a difference of a day, an afternoon, or a half hour. Last Sunday, four of us went in around 9:00 and caught virtually nothing till 11:30. Two guys left at 12:30 and that from 14:40 till 2:00 pm the schools came into our spot and my friend Jeff and I caught over 25 fish all with in 12-15" range. Les
