kayakfishing

Thanks for the info, Bobber. We should have plenty of water, and will have filtration systems, too. We will be meeting at White Buffalo Resort the night before our trip, and they will have our trip plans. Good idea to call the ranger station with our plans, too. Looking forward to a wonderful float, but just wanted to get some info on how that section of the river has changed since the 08 Flood.

After several years of discussion and changes to plans due to weather (mainly flooding), a group of friends and myself are going to float from Rush to Buffalo City. I have the Buffalo River Handbook, but I expect there are changes in it due to the flood of 2008. Are most of the gravel bars for camping still available, are there any potential dangers to kayakers (strainers, willows, etc.) not mentioned in the book? I have been reading on this forum about Clabber Creek shoals and the rapid there possibly being a Class III now. We will be floating in Mid-June so maybe Clabber Creek won't be so bad. We plan on taking our time to fish, swim, hike, so we will be doing the float in 3 days/2 nights. Any recommendations on a good campsite for either night? I am guessing around an 8 mile float each day. We will have a mix of sit on top kayaks, and regular flat water kayaks. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
