be prone to major water level changes. Always check the river height and flow
before planning a trip to any major river.

When fishing major rivers you will have the opportunity to
target may species of fish. Largemouth bass, white bass, catfish, buffalo, gar

The water in the river will be muddy to stained depending on
the flow. Always be sure to check the river condition before you plan a trip.
It can vary from a flat calm paddle to turbulent raging white water flood.

you have a game plan for where to put in and take out. If that is the same
place understand you paddle capabilities and plan your trip accordingly
