If you want to avoid the weekend canoe hatch head to Wakely Lake just down M72 a piece. Hike about 1/4 mile with your 'toon, tube or canoe and enjoy some great warm water fishing. Rember it's Catch & Release!!
The carryout on the corner of M72 and Stephan's Bridge road rents 'toons but you have to bring your own PFD. Many, many places to rent canoes also.
I may just take my new 'toon on its maiden voyage there with mcsteff and his!
