    Fishing at Mousetail Landing

    Fishing from the bank is productive, but the best way to experience this large river is by boat.   

    The embankments are popular for spring crappie fishing from late March through May.

    Bluegill and redear sunfish are also commonly harvested from the river. Bass fishing is best in the spring and fall.  Catfish are commonly caught in the summer and fall.
