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!
I’ll be taking my canoe to Wakely Lake on the 4th (got wheels under it for transport). I’ve been on Wakely with the 'toon for the past couple of years, and in my opinion that’s the best way to experience Wakely. While you’re reeling in a monster bluegill, 4-5# largemouth bass are swimming at your feet and charging the bluegill which appears injured. If you just sit motionless in the 'toon, bass will school around your feet in the shadow of your craft. It’s an awesome experience, and you don’t even think about trying to catch these fish…they have become your companions in the quest to catch the biggest bluegill.
