Usually fish above the weir, around Miller's Island or put in at Peach Orchard and float the river. Used to have walk in access at Cave Creek before the property sold.
That looks like the Peach Orchard area. That's where we would float from. Down past the jail and take out at the bridge. Parking at the church above the jail wasn't bad in the past. Need to catch a rise though.Turn off exit 122 and turn left. Turn right on the road passed EXON (right next to Wal mart). Drive a few miles up and there are tons of spots past the bridge where you can pay to park and have easy access to walk in the river. I have caught some of the biggest trout around that area but always looking for new locations on the clinch.
Fishing for lake trout growing up I learned to set the hook hard as the hard tough cartilage in the jaw. First time I fished for land locked salmon in Maine, I was using that hard set method and lost 8 of 10 fish on the first day... a fishing pro there took me aside and shared the secrets to these fish... one being they have very soft jaws and you really cannot set the hook. Let them set it.ME! Its not bad when you do it trout fishing, you just pull the fly out of the fish's mouth or fling a little fish 25 feet behind you. On salt water for false albacore, you might very well break your friends 8 wt! Good thing expensive fly rods usually have good warranties.
