I’ve never fished Neely but it’s been on my radar.
What would a Neely newbie tie on and where should he go just to maybe catch a few spots? Launch in Gadsden and fish around town?
Go to the lower end (like was said, I'd put in at the dam in Ohatchee, it's free). I don't enjoy fishing the upper end around Gadsden. I like Shoal, Beaver, and sometimes Canoe creeks. Or just holler at me and we'll go, it's only about 25 minutes from my house.
