    Kings in one of those rivers where you get to pick good floating or good fishing, but not both. You can split the difference at about 3.5 and it's pretty good for each. It's fishable up to a little over 4 (fly fishing. I suppose with spinning gear you'd be alright a bit higher), and floatable down to 2 and some change as long as you have a stout heart and back to drag. Some form of plastic boat or canoe would be better than aluminium as it slides on the gravel more easily. Regardless, you should be able to make the trip between 2 and 5 on the gauge, but it's better to try and hit the middle of that range. Of course, you go when you can go and make do.

    It is worth mentioning that a heavy rainstorm will blow that river out in a big hurry.

    It's my opinion that smallmouth are basically bottom huggers, and while you can get some of them to rise, especially during the hot months, I always catch more with something along the bottom. Catching the most, or the biggest, is not always the measure, however. Sometimes seeing a splashy rise is worth three or four hooked deep.
