Comments.
This long river with an average width of 200 meters is used constantly by huge barges. Leaving a big wake after and before passing plenty of heavy leads are required to hold bottom. Grippers are a good bet in conjunction with heavy line and traces. Some of the banks are high. The carp hold up around harbours and snaggy areas. The margins are the favourite part of thee water due to the flow which takes end tackle down stream with ease.
