Hi all,

As some of you know, I work in the fisheries world doing habitat mapping among other things.

A short notice project came up that will deal with mapping the Duck River starting at Normandy Dam and going downstream. I have never fished or floated the Duck so I am unsure of what it will be like.

Given the river conditions, it looks like we will be using kayaks and canoes to move down the river. From my quick Google Earth overview of the river, likely we will put in at the dam and then go downstream to either the Three Forks Bridge Access (8.5 miles) or to the Mullins Mill Bridge Access at 41A (13 miles).

A few questions.

1. Has anyone floated these sections and is there anything to know about or watch out for?

2. Is the water clear? Can you typically see the bottom?

3. Is the Mullins Mill Bridge Access to far for a long day trip?

4. Any good fishing?

Thanks in advance,
Jim
