If you do float I would suggest taking a day to figure out where you want to fish, then get an early start the next day. The last time I went We launched at 3 A.M. and we still didn't get the spot we wanted (to say that this little river gets crowded is an understatement). Some of the locals will leave their boats anchored in the good holes overnight.

There will be a few home owners that will give you a hard time if you anchor in front of their property. I have had them tell me that their property ran all the way out into the river and that I was tresspassing. But for the most part if you are courteous and don't make a bunch of noise while you are rowing down stream in the dark they will be courteous.

Good luck
