Merced River

Looking to do a trip somewhere between Mc Swain and Schafer Bridge. Anyone have any experience on this section. Maybe launch near Snelling , there are 2 different bridges that cross before you hit Schafer Bridge. Maybe make it a 2 day trip?? On these rivers you can spend 8 hours fishing a half mile of river, gotta pick and choose fishing spots and be aware of time constraints. I am trying to plan ahead, I would be doing this trip in the summer. I think in the Snelling area there would be more trout than anything else, but as you got closer to the Bridge more LM and SM. Anyone interested?? Also anyone have any Info on this section of the river??
Thanks!!
