Heading Down For The Weekend

[Allen R.]

I will be coming down for the weekend to Eminence. I've never been down there or to the Current River. I would like to do some fishing. I will have my waders, fly rod, and spinning rod. Does anyone have any recommendations for access points? Would I be better served fishing for smallies (I love me some smallies) or trout right now. Any information would be helpful. We'll also be near the Jakcs Fork, would I be better off fishing there? I'm not asking for specific spots, just for some guidance for someone who's never seen the area to help get me started. Thanks.

Where are you driving from ?

You may want to check the CFS flow before you go. We're getting a lot of rain we don't need and things might be blown out this weekend. I'd check the USGS gauges before making any concrete plans.

We'll be heading down from Kansas City. I have no choice but to come down this weekend. I'm with a group, so this isn't a "fishing trip", but I was going to try to get out for a while.

191 cfs flow right now, probably higher when the new reading comes up in a few.

Surely that was the Montauk gauge reading, and now it's higher. He was talking about near Eminence, so I bet down there the river is going to be really high and moving.
