It’s 9 am EZ Glider day at Lake Wilson. The south fork to the old wood bridge is smooth. Bill shares with us how it was possible to go beyond the bridge. Not today, the stream was at one of its lowest levels and the entire weather worn structure was revealed. Marie observes it’s more of a log jam than a bridge. But we are a venturesome group and toyed with the idea of going under it. Stan! Seriously?

Alrighty then, onward to the reservoir. Peaceful and calm day paddling with club members among the ducks, catfish holes, “LiL Ding Ding” and a stalking cat. Casual sightseeing of the spillway and shad spawning project, it’s a gathering spot for bass fishing boats. Another day in paradise as I zigzag my way back.

It’s a very long launch ramp when the water is low, especially after paddling. Note to self, next time back the car down. Tired and hungry, it’s not over until the kayak is stored, hot shower, a double quarter pounder cheese burger with a coke and a nap on the couch! Just another EZ day (snore).

Lake Wilson is known for freshwater sport fishing. I highly recommend this paddle and won’t wait an entire year to do this again. Why? Cuz I caught a Tucunare!
