Float And Fish Suggestions

[Mike3004]

I will be vacationing next week and would appreciate suggestions for one day trips floating and fishing the Current River. I am not a fly fisherman but I do enjoy fishing for all species. I appreciate your suggestions.

Assuming you are stopping a bit to fish, these are close to a day trip:

Baptist to Cedar - Floatable blue ribbon portion (Jadwin Canoe only rental service for Baptist).

Cedar to Akers - Trout and SMB.

Akers to Pulltite - Trout and SMB.

There are also some one day trips further down stream. Just google "current river canoe rental."

Here is a link for a lot of info on floating and fishing.

Hope it helps.

I live just East of Van Buren. I have a friend who's family owns "The Landing". You should go see him. Ask for Matt Bedell and tell him that Nathan sent you. He set me and three of my friends on a half day trip. I have also done a full day trip. A good full day trip is Waymire to Big Spring. This trip starts north of Van Buren and ends just south of Van Buren. A tornado went through a few years ago just south of the Van Buren bridge and dropped a lot of trees in the water. This is a good spot for SMB and Walleye.

Last Friday we caught 30 Goggleye, 20 SMB and 1 Kentucky. Most were caught on white twister tails, green with red flake grub and green tubejigs. I would recommend 8 lbs. line. I hope this helps.
