Wally and I had enough time to paddle up toward the dam yesterday, where some stone structures built by the AGFC to enhance the fishery have been constructed. I now think that dragging my boat upstream of these stone structures is mandatory when making a Little Mo excursion. Besides exposing a paddler a spine tingling volume level of the alert sirens, starting up there gives the feeling of being caught in a genuine FLASH FLOOD; there are some sharp eddies to catch, turns to navigate, and several small waves to play that will all be missed if you start at the grassy area at Riverside Access.

ONE OF A DOZEN EDDY/WAVE SPOTS:




The bottom is slippery so use caution when dragging upstream.

Hey Cap'n-

Is there going to be the traditional float on little Mo Labor Day?
I'm ready to hit the stream again.
No guarantee of free diner this time.

15 working days til parole!

Yes, Lupe has posted that she wants to go on that Monday, as well as the Friday before. I'm not sure what my plans will be yet. If I paddle a few days earlier (hurricane rain), my back may keep me from going that Monday.
