Great Miami River
Ever dynamic, constant flow
Floating canoe, moving slow
Deer crossing, buck wade
Shallow water, rocks display
Fishing excursion, initiate casts
Surface offering, lure blast
Bronzeback hooked, explosive cavorting
Fish capture, lip supporting
Stately behemoths, shore lined
Sycamore trees, feeling confined
Kingfisher dives, eagles soar
Carp disturbance, muddy floor
Increased momentum, rapid suction
Beaver hut, log construction
Canadians honk, ducks scare
Stream life, sunshine glare
Paddle onward. liquid green
Exquisite sunset, beautiful scene
Evening chill, slight shiver
Living free, Great Miami river

I grew up in West Carrollton and fished the GMR a fair amount. I must say that this is the 1st time that I've seen a poem written about the mighty GMR. While the upper stretches have some very nice water and even harbor a few descent northern pike, the lower stretches can run through some pretty questionable areas. This river is one of the few places that I fish where I opt to carry a firearm if I'm fishing from shore.

Daughter lives within walking distance of the GMR, in Sidney. Every year we do a Kayak/and Canoe trip north of Sidney. Would love to fish it, as I've heard many good things about it.

There are a few crazy people on the upper stretch of the river too, be careful.

Thanks! You must live down south in the Dayton area then I take it? There is a Facebook page for fishing the Great Miami River if you are on FB.

Yeah, North Dayton.....Deweese Park Neighborhood to be exact.....The Stillwater is my preferred river, I typically don’t fish it past the Englewood Dam....I’m aware of the FB page, I don’t have a FB account though......I stay off for work reasons.....
