Have never fished that section but this thread brings back fond memories of fishin the NSR. Sitting on a foulding chair watching the rod tip and or listening for the bell to ring. Talking to people who floated by in canoes. Watching ducks and geese flying up or down stream following the river.( I know a fellow who in the fall had his fishing rod propped up on a forked stick and his shotgun propped up at the ready on another forked stick to deal with waterfowl in the fall.) Having a few pulls on what we called "River Mix" ( a "slurpy" or "slush" with a little extra added for medicinal purposes, not when shotguns were about of course.)
We used "pickeral rigs" with a worm or a small dead frog for bait. And you never knew what was going to be on the end of a pulsating fishing pole.
