creek wader Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 A friend did a 3 day float/caving trip on the Jacks Fork last weekend. No one fished. ... Crazy people. ...Anyway, I believe they put in at Hwy 17 and went to Alley Spring. He said it had good water and was faily clear for being up that much. He said they didn't have to portage at all and only drug bottom a few times. A rarity that far up. I may have to try it early next year if we get the rain, again. wader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve l Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Looks like a bit of a rise with the rain today. Heading down for the usual trip the weekend before Memorial Day, so not much more rain needed. Unlike your friend I intend to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creek wader Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 My friend is a caver, not a fisherman. What a waste of a good float trip on a great smallie river. I wish I could of made it. I would of had all the good spots for myself. Good Luck. ... Wader wader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank franklin Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 We floated JF last year in a loaded canoe, Prongs to Bay Creek. USGS Mtn. View gage was 2.0 feet, 151 cfs. Never dragged at all. A little less flow would make for some dragging however. The JF in my opinion is the trickiest to navigate of all the Missouri float streams. (Saint Francis not included.) It will challenge your canoe handling skills. You need good teamwork between bow and stern in a two-man canoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
