Mountain Island Lake - Kayak Fishing for Bass - NC73 Access Area - Stanley, NC

I decided to try my luck at some river fishing in the Upper reaches of Mountain Island Lake on the Catawba River system. In any man-made river system, running water is the key to turning on the bite. Unfortunately on this trip, there was no current to be found...
