Pertinent Information You Need For The Elk, Big Sugar Rivers

[Phil Lilley]

The sole use of this topic is to provide good information about floating and fishing the Elk River and it's tributaries.

Promoting businesses such as lodging, outfitters and fishing guides is strongly urged!

Anything posted here could and will be used in other locations on OzarkAnglers.Com for informational use.

Thanks!

What baits do use for night fishing? I usually get 2-3 good night floats in each year but never thought about taking the fishing seriously at night. Thanks in advance!

Here's a handy map. Some of the descriptions are a little outdated -especially some launch sites on the upper ends of the three tributaries. The distance measurements are very accurate though.

Yep that's kind of what the map indicates. You can park on highway property if you have 4wd, but I wouldn't leave my car there for very long.
