Trip Report

[KCRIVERRAT]

Wade-fished the Kings with my wife on sunday the 19th. We were fishing the Trigger Gap area from the 221 bridge down. Pretty shallow water and all we caught were a few dinks. Great area though. Stayed in one of the cabins at Kings River Retreat. Peter there is a great host and quite a character. He's from England.

Monday the 20th we floated from Rock House to Trigger Gap. Got lucky and dodged the thunderstorms for a while but our luck ran out early afternoon. Withstood about a 45 minute frog-cholker. Wife was very happy I brought the rain gear! Had a deer swim across the river in front of us.

Fishing was just so-so. Here was my biggest...

We had to get out and push the canoe quite a bit but only a few feet thank goodness. Wanna hit this area again but the river would need to be up some.

I'd floated the Kings before north of Berryville off of 221 hwy. Back then there wasn't a sign at the county road showing the access. There's one there now though, Romp Hole access I believe was the name. It was a nice float to the lake, lots of nice fish.

Way to go there KC. Sounds like a great time. I need to hit that river sometime.

That's a good little getaway. Did you see any other fishermen?

Great report. That is a killer section of water. It is very hard to fish when the water is low, but it doesnt get hit as hard with canoes as some of the others. One very cool thing about the rivers we have here is the abundant wildlife. I almost enjoy seeing them as much as having a fish on my line.
