It had been a while since I'd gone fishing, and an even longer while since I'd been downstream of Warwick park, so it was time to remedy those things. After driving around town, I finally figured out how to get to the access point I hadn't been to in years. Since it's that kind of year, I started downstream (explore!). I ran into a couple mouth-breathers as I was making my way along the river. A bit downstream of them I caught a small trout. I fished my way back to the car, then continued on briefly upstream. By the bridge I landed a smallmouth bass. Not able to find a decent trail, I made my way back to the car and went to the waterfall.
It was a nice sunny day, and the waterfall was a zoo. People were crawling around every level of the falls. Some mouth-breathers were fishing the main floor, while swimmers were jumping down into it. I started at the second level and caught a few dinkers. As I cast, I heard the unmistakable sound of bagpipes. I looked across, and saw a small wedding ceremony being performed in the shallows on the edge of the falls.
I think the other fisherman got tired of people jumping into the river, as they left not long after I got there. So, I took some pokes in there before leaving. I caught a lot of chubs and a few trout. Nothing of size landed that day, but a unique day nonetheless.
