Last summer I started fishing nsr for the first time since i was a lil guy and i went to hermitage park walked down to the river and went left along shore, walk down till u have to get accross the little creek what not anywhere from there down to the spot where water comes in to the river has been goodd never got skunked, used pickeral rigs always because i tried other stuff like sppoons and rapalas and i just had no luck but loosing them, with pickeral rigs dont get to big of weight on it and buy some smaller hooks(dont use the ones you get wth pickeral rig) and use your own hooks on pickeral rig. what i do is minnow on one hook worm or leech on the other and u will catch. You dont have to cast 15 ft out good luck hope this helps.
On August22 we are planning a float & fish down the NSR. You are welcome to join us if youd like. The trip is a 2 day affair with overnight camping on shore. We are taking pontoons and inflatables, if you have one you are welcome to join us.
wondering if anyone has gotten out onto the river on any ice free spots yet? im thinking of checking it this week.
if its open im pretty sure u wont be able to catch much bcuz the river will be moving pretty quick last yr i found it slowed down around june. but i might be wrong, sorry if i am.
