anyone fish the meherrin?? i am going to give it a try this afternoon, putting in in murfreesboro. i hear they have been catching some white perch. any spots i need to watch out for when navigating the river?? i've heard its much easier to navigate than the roanoke but it looks mighty narrow on the maps. any tips on catching white perch would be appreciated also :)

Never fished it, but I have floated it duck hunting several times. It's not bad to navigate at all, at least not the sections I have floated (above Murfreesboro). But it is narrow. I have seen bass boats on it closer to Murfreesboro. White perch are like piranhas, they'll eat anything that will hold still.
