Also saw one of the largest snapping turtles I've ever seen. <br />Collected a bunch of bottles and at least 10 bobbers w line hook and a few worms. <br />Thanks for your help!<br />Happy Paddling!LALAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570681107134983179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303616362929302466.post-70343621202462838152017-08-05T12:52:35.670-04:002017-08-05T12:52:35.670-04:00Putting in at Gleasondale Rd is complicated a bit ...Putting in at Gleasondale Rd is complicated a bit by the bridge being reduced to one lane travel. The Jersey barriers (for traffic control) may block access to the closest parking spot. However, there is some parking across the street near the entrance to Gleasondale Industrial Park (Rockbottom Rd). Vehicles would need to be parked so not to block access to the Industrial Park. The path down to the river is on the downstream left side of the bridge.<br /> <br />Putting in at Sudbury Rd can be done on either side of the river upstream of the Sudbury Rd bridge. Magazu's Landing on one side has room for several cars and there's a set of steps down to the river. The launch on the opposite side has room for fewer cars and is a bit muddy. <br />Plenty of water now.

There will be blowdowns to get around in the first half mile or so.
