I was going to go fishing on the Holston river near my home town here in east Tennessee, but when my wife invited herself along, I figured I would use the extra paddle power to get up stream and check out a potential camping spot for a 2 day fishing trip. It's a wide river with plenty of small mouth bass, but some areas are hard to reach unless you drift through or run up with a shallow running boat and motor. I got home that morning after work and slept for a couple of hours, so I wasn't at my best but off we went. It was already in the upper 70,s and warming up. The water was clear, and moving maybe 2 mph. I don't know how to figure the cfs. Water temperature was about 60
 
Good grief. Where'd pictures go?

This looks like the perfect river for a relaxing day trip, or an overnighter. Nice post, Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks y'all. I didn't get to go on the over night trip that I planned on, maybe this fall. I couldn't get any one that could go with me at this time, and a couple of guys I work with bailed when I mentioned spending the night on an over grown, snake and tick infested island. I guess they expected a motel 6 or something out in the middle of nowhere. Where's the adventurer any more? Bunch of wusses.

Yup, I just had two guys bail on my Adirondak trip in 8 days... glad I haven't made and dehydrated all the food yet!
