Good fishing most anywhere on the Chowan - I usually fish from Holiday Island upriver to the Rt. 13 bridge at Tunis - fishes about like most tidal rivers - the creeks are usually best for me.

If you are putting in at the 45 bridge you would be best to run up the cashie river to San Souci Ferry for some good fishing. Spring is also good right there at the mouth of both the cashie and the Roanoke. There is no need to run up the Chowan just to catch 50 13" fish. The larger fish are in the Cashie or Roanoke right there not too far from the ramp. The big stump fields and cypress groves out at the mouths of those rivers are always good right now. Last year a buddy caught a 6.5# on a beetle spin fishing for pearch. My favorite lure out there is a SWL spinnerbait, since I can play with the blades to get the size right for the shiner or threadfins, generally a tandem with a gold willow will work great as there is always wind out there. You can get the SWL spinnerbaits and kits from Spinnerbaits by Secret Weapon Lures Good luck and let me know how you do!
