Any luck fishing there or along that greenway? Is it even allowed along the greenway?

I've often wondered that myself as I pass over that area on the way to town. Also does anyone know if there's a map of access points for the greenway? Maybe I should do a little online research or maybe this is the research. What better place to learn of fishing opportunities than a well respected fishing site.
Found this http://www.raleighnc.gov/parks/content/ParksRec/Articles/Greenways/NeuseRiverTrail.html
suggests that you can fish but not that anything is there.

Might give it shot around 2 tomorrow with some live bait and plastics.
Tried to go there today. It was closed on Horse Shoe Farm Rd where I planned to park, under construction. Not sure how long but it don't look that will be open any time soon. So I went across town to NC 98 where WRC has a spot on NC-98.
A few folks where fishing so I kept walking down a little further. 35.976990, -78.630687

Used a Gamakatsu weighted hook with a big bite green pumpkin tailed worm, no bites but only had an hour. Did see two white tail deer and got to fish so not a total loss.

Any luck/thoughts?

I am beginning to think the City of Raleigh doesn't want me fishing the river. The gate was locked. Went to my usual spot to work on casting. Got a bite but nothing else.
