Smith's favorite catfishing rivers are the Congaree and the Wateree, which eventually join forces to form the Santee, and the Santee itself from the confluence of the other two rivers to Lake Marion.
Forming beneath the impounded waters of Lake Wateree, the Wateree River resembles the Congaree in its upper reaches, with fluctuating water levels and a string of rocky shoals at the Fall Line.
