River Conditions

[Fishhand]

Thinking about floating the Kings this weekend. We're putting in @ Hwy. 62 and floating down to the public access off of Hwy. 143 (can't think of the name....10+/- mile float). I was wondering if anyone knows if TRock is backed up past that access? Thanks for the help. Jim

The river is running fine to Stoney Point. The lake is backed up past Romp Hole (next take out after Stoney Point), but has some current up there. There are two take outs on 143. One is at the bridge and is pay access. The second is Stoney Point.

Thanks for the information. We'll be sure at take some extra $$ in case we take out at 143. Pay to put in and pay to take out. Dang, I'm taking up golf...

The takeout at the 143 bridge is gated and you must call 24 hrs in advance to pay and have it opened. That is only @5 miles from 62. Stoney Point is the 10 mile float. It's another 7 or so to romp hole I believe. Great fishing up there, especially between the brigde and Stoney Point. Not a lot of people do that. I'm jealous.

I wasn't able to make it to the Kings last year so I'm not up to speed on any changes which have occured. I hope that paying to take out at 143 is a recent change 'cause we've never paid to take out there in previous years. There should be enough flow to make a full day fishing trip from 62 to Stoney Pointe...famous last words, right?
