Members fiveweight Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 We had a great trip. I had called our outfitter to make sure the forest service had cleared the trees you were talking about and they had. The upper section was a little hairy in a fully loaded canoe from the Ponca Bridge to a little below Kyle's. Actually, that stretch of whitewater above Kyle's sank us. We researched and scouted it, picked our best line, and it still wasn't enough. There were about 20 unavoidable waves about 2-3 feet tall and each one put a few more gallons in the canoe until we were completely submerged halfway through. Luckily we were staying at Kyle's the first night and were able to dry everything out. Our outfitter told us we wouldn't catch anything with the water up and cold, but we found a few smallies here and there throughout the upper section and more as we got around Ozark, slowing down a bit as we got in deeper water until Carver.
