This South Platte River is one weird river! It must be a hundred and fifty yards across this channel, but it"s only about two inches deep. Unless you hit a drop off, then it"s all of knee deep. And, it"s got a sand bottom. I keep bumping my butt and it feels strange as hell. If this keeps up, I"ll need a new paint job on that end for sure.
This is truly an ideal location. The boys should have been here all along, water beats dirt any ol" day. The river bed is wide open. There aren"t any big trees, and just a few willow beds, for at least two hundred yards, upstream or downstream. They hauled that portable blind a hundred yards out onto a sandbar and they have some nice flat water in behind them. That is perfect duck water. They said the sandbar was covered with goose droppings and tracks
