It is a great idea. I've met some people that took their kids there. There's a similar piece of water coming into the Cumberland River in Kentucky.
Oddly, in the conservative south, there seems to be many more handicap fishing platforms and places where kids fish without adult competition. I can think of a number of well known small trout rivers in Tenn. and N.C. that have them and prohibit adults and the non-handicapped. They are stocked with some nice trout a few times a year Kind of blows up the theory that conservatives in the south are callous and selfish.
Greedy humans come in all forms. I've thought about where one might go besides the estuary ramp on the SR, or if a kids area would be good. Due to the variability of season, and more importantly, water level; it would be difficult. In my experience, if someone is fishing with a kid, they get extra room and help if needed. Andy could speak to that, I just know what has happened around me. I know when I fished the Paradise Pool in the middle of Oct. , there was a kid with his Dad that hooked up a few times and everyone reeled up and watched, even me that was WAY below the action. If that fish had run down and crossed me, I would have felt like an idiot. If there was anything I could have done to help, I would have done it. Even snaggers and litter chuckers will help kids. We don't want them to be the example to follow, though!!!!!!!!!
