Kayaked the Cannon River again, this time by myself. Because I went solo, I started at Riverside Park and headed upstream. I did have to wade a couple of stretches of riffles with the kayak in tow, but it felt good to be in the water on the warm sunny day. The route was only a half a mile to Hannah's Bend Park, but it was a good workout fighting the current. The fishing was lots of fun. I caught a dozen smallmouth bass and missed a bunch more. They were small, 8-12 inches, but feisty, often jumping out of the water. The area is beautiful with lots of activities. There's a community pool, a nice disc golf course, and the Cannon bike trail.
