Due to the heat and low water level we have left this river alone for a few months. When the forecast called for a high of 75F and light rain, we made plans to go.
We encountered intermittent rain on the drive and figured we might have the river to ourselves, which turned out to be correct. As long as there wasn’t any lightning we would be OK to fish.
Zip kept alerting to a portion of the river around the bend. We saw about 6 wild pigs crossing the river and more on the opposite bank. I started making noise and throwing rocks into the brush until they decided to cross back over while she put the leash on Zip. After a few minutes they crossed back over and joined the main group and ran off over an embankment. We were not in a good position since we were stuck on a small island and wild pigs were on either side of us.
We ended up catching and releasing 60 fish between us in the 6 hours we were on the river. We covered 4 miles of new river for a total round trip distance of 11.56 miles. We were both sore and tired by the time we returned to the car.
