Ham Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Does anyone have a good guess at the distance from the Snow Access to Kelley's Slab? Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy & JoAnne Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I measured it on Google Earth and its just at 12 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mark hedger Posted July 31, 2009 Members Share Posted July 31, 2009 I heard the Nature Conservancy was thinking about allowing overnight camping on their property. Can anyone confirm this? It would be a nice alternative for those who do not want to do 12 miles in 1 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy & JoAnne Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Not sure about that. Probably will have to give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks for your help A&J. I've looked at aerial phots and guessed at it being 12-13 miles which is a long hurried day of fishing or an overnight trip. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

hoglaw Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Do not attempt it in a single day unless the water is moving fast. My wife and I did it three weekends ago after an isolated storm in Harrison gave the water a big bump. It was almost too high on day 1 and day 2 was getting near perfect. The water was still over the slab when we finished. In lower water, this would be a FULL day. I wouldn't want to put on any later than 6, and I'd bring lots of food and water. Need your energy carrying the canoe over gravel. It seemed like there was a pretty good gradiant in this stretch and some of the "rapids" were actually pretty challenging at the levels we floated. I was surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 I had pretty much guessed that if I were to try it in a day that I would need to be on the water EARLY and expect to come off LATE, do it with an almost HIGH water level, and expect to hit the high spots only rather than my usual 1/2 mile an hour "try to catch every smallie in the river" pace. Lack of fishing pressure should make that section fish better, but there are reasons for the lack of fishing pressure. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.
