Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Did you see the sunken boat in the river bottom right about there? How was the fishing? Lees Ferry is rather photogenic. RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Lee's Ferry for Sure. I think that just around that bend in the river is a spot that during low flows has been known to mangle the lower section of an outboard if you are not careful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hunterofcoues Report post Posted July 1, 2009 You are right Lee's Ferry. I was working in Tuba City last May and this was one of the areas we frequented on our time off. No fishing, our 6 month baby adjusted our priorities. Hanging out there really makes you want to raft the Grand Canyon. We did hike a mile or so upstream and saw the remains of the sunken ferry, ore processor etc. I guess you can take a boat nearly up to the dam. I was thinking it might be a fun trip to drop a kayak in below Glenn Canyon Dam with a bow during archery season and float and shoot a Colorado River muley. I think it is 12B on the north side and Navajo Nation on the south. Has anyone seen wildlife along that stretch? There must be deer and sheep in there, I have seen them further down stream in the canyon. I wonder if the continuous boat traffic might make it lousy hunting, maybe early morning midweek.

Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Considering the steep walls of Glen Canyon, I doubt deer hunting would be viable. I did see a dead bighorn in the water once (already beheaded). One can have the blue pontoon rigs backhaul you and a canoe/kayak to the dam and paddle/float/fish back. The boatmen used do it for a tip, maybe some beer, but now the company charges like $50 and you neeed to make reservations. I have done it a couple time in years past before they charged. https://www.raftthecanyon.com/con_trip_info.cfm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcelkhunter Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I haven't been there in years, since back in my college days some 20+ years ago and guessed that was Lee's Ferry!! Brings back lots of memories!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I've camped out up river many times. Once had a badger try to get in our tent at night. Other than that and beavers I haven't seen anything but water fowl. For those who haven't been there, you are missing one of Arizona's most spectacular places on earth. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I/we laugh at that, but growing up I used to swim in the santa cruz all of the time. I grew up on a farm by Evergreen Air Center....... RIGHT AFTER THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN MARANA!!! That whole time I thought it was dead craw-dads floating down the river..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
