There is little if any bank access in the lower stilly. It is mostly farm land - private. Beside the lower reaches (warm-beach area) are tide water. There are few gravel bars and most of the banks are over grown with vegitation. That river really hasn't changed since the channel was move eons ago by the core of engineers. It is actually a slough now, the exact name I don't remember. I have ran up river in the sled but the pucker factor was mighty high. I never seen so many submerged logs in a river before. I am not complaining about those logs.... they are the reason why the cuttie fishing is so good down there.

The chain saw - just in case you can't drag the boat around a log jam.
