If you enjoy white water, paddle the river during peak generation from Philpott Dam, or if a relaxing fl at water paddle is more your speed, put your boat in farther downstream. Wild brown trout are abundant along the Smith River, and above Martinsville fi shermen can catch seasonally stocked rainbows. You can also put a line in farther downstream for smallmouths, rock bass, and redbreasts. Travel time is determined by water level and fl ow conditions; hydro-electric generation will increase water fl ows and decrease travel times. A general rule of thumb for planning canoe or kayak trips on gentle moving water is to allow 25-30 minutes per river mile. Call (276) 629-2432 for a weekly water generation schedule from Philpott Dam.
