Floated Rt 50 to Lockes last weekend. It's low and clear. And fishing well morning and afternoon/evening.
I actually hitch hiked for the first time. Unloaded and setup at the put-in by 9am. My buddy stayed with the boat as I drove to the take out. I parked the car and asked the first group of folks I saw consolidating kayaks into a truck bed if they were heading back to rt 50. Was back to the boat ramp by 9:45.
If you plan to shove off at a decent hour, and have someone to watch your boat/stuff, I bet you can catch a ride from most take-outs that aren't commercial stretches especially this time of year. I bet the rivers are going to be full of folks over the next few weeks. The only trick is to get your car to the take-out before the lot fills up like Lockes did.
Cheese and Chris - if you are somehow reading this, thank you again.
