Outfitters On The Upper Niangua

[Paola Cat]

I was wondering if there are any canoe outfitters servicing the upper Niangua? Looking at floats originating from Charity, Hico, Big John's, or Williams Ford. We normally take (2) vehicles but with today's gas prices we're looking for a shuttle or an outfitter. Any information would be appreciated. PC

you need to call and check with some of the outfitters down around bennett i do think sand springs will take you up as far as windyville or willams ford

Moon Valley to the access, or Riverfront can be good fishing, and not as crowded, especially when the river drops.

Thanks Wayne .... I've done those floats in the past and have had good success. Have you ever floated from Charity to Hico? Awesome fishing and absolutely no one else on that section. I've never floated the 20 mile section between Big John and Moon Valley. Any feedback on that section? PC (Mike)

Have you ever floated from Charity to Hico?

No, but I've heard it can be good. I've never had the transportation to do it. Williams down is good, if you can find a shuttle.

You might ask at Clyde's or the Menagerie about shuttles. There was a fellow that rented canoes who lived on 64 back west of Winchester towards Plad who would shuttle. He lives on the south side of the highway and has a small trailer of canoes and a "firewood for sale" sign, his name is Clifford, but I can't think of his last name. its the same as the bluff below the 64 access.
