Low Water Bridge Public Fishing Area

Hey guys, quick question. I was looking in the NC Wildlife Fishing Access guide and came across a spot in Troy that I was thinking I might give a peek with the kiddo. It's the Low Water Bridge Public Fishing Area. Granted, given the rain, I'll probably have to wait a month for it to actually be low water so I'm not yelling at Noah for messing up my fishing when he goes ripping by in his ark, but I digress. What I was wondering is, has anyone been there? Decent place? Fished it? Guide says there's smallies there, but eh...I'm dubious.

Also, it seems to have a fairly rocky bottom, thought I might throw in a mud bug trap or two while I was fishing...if it's worth the trip...

Tell me, oh wise community....what's the story with this spot? Worth the 30 minute drive?

Take your kayak it's worth the drive,you won't catch a ton of fish but there's a little bit of everything there,I've heard small mouths are there but probably really scarce.

Yeah, don't have a kayak or a boat of any sort. Is there bank access?

Yeah, I'm around Tuckertown quite a bit, actually. Was kind of wanting to try somewhere new. I fish some of the little creeks by the dam, managed to miss an NCARP certificate on a shellcracker by an inch....which is a metaphor for my life.

Morrow mountain has a bunch of shoreline if your up for a little hike you can get away from people...so has uwharries main area off 109, you can fish uwharrie river or badin lake.

I have a couple friends that wade the uwharrie and do pretty good with the smallmouth contrary to claims I see on here and elsewhere that there isn't much of a fishery there.

To warhorses' claim... I have caught small mouth in Tillery. Specifically up river where the Uwharrie River dumps into Tillery.

I've seen pictures of smallmouth that looked as big as 3-4 pounds from the Uwharrie.

Seems some nice ones in there but how common they are, I don't know.

One of My Biggest Smallies came from the Uwharrie and it was over 4lbs. Roanoke bass in there as well but you got to know how and where.
