RR and I decided to go on a quick fishing trip with RR father. We arrived at the Wetumpka boat ramp around 1100 Saturday morning. We immediately headed upstream to fish around a few of the rapids on the Coosa. The Coosa river is a very popular canoe and kayaking getaway during the summer. We ended up catching a few fish in the rapids with spinner baits. The purpose of the trip was to try out RR new fishing rod he just finished building. The rod worked out great and RR got to break it in with a few fish. While we were fishing around a set of rapids we had to turn into a rescue squad, a father and his three sons got stuck in between two rocks in there canoe. RR immediately guided the boat over to the canoe, hoped on a rock and held the boat, which allow the three boys to jump in our boat while the father got the canoe unstuck. While all this was going on another young lady got hung up in a rock above the kayak, she ended up flipping out and floating down the rapid along with the kayak beside her. Once the traffic jam in the rapids was released we started back fishing. The young girl was found a few hundred yards down stream on a sand bar and as we passed she asked if we had seen her flip flops, bathing-suit cover-up and her paddle! Which we had not. She then informs us a guy had gone back up the rapids to find her paddle, he later returned it to her. I guess in all the commotion the paddle got lodged in between the rocks. Overall we had a great trip the weather was very hot and the fishing was decent considering the Jordan Dam was not releasing any water.
