Fishing the Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior?
Some buddies and I are planning to float the Sispey Fork from the hwy 69 bridge (at the fly shop) down to the Mulberry Fork intersection. Can anyone offer any fishing advice on this stretch of water? I don't care what we catch. We often fish for trout between the dam and hwy 69 but have never ventured any farther or tried targeting any other fish like stripe.
Also, I know AL Power typically releases water for about 4 hours every day starting around 1 or 2. Is it better to go an hour or so before the water is released or wait until they start?
I'm really more interested in exploring this stretch of the river than fishing but I would definitely like to catch something along the way.
