Wading Locations?

[txspecks04]

I have never been out to the Kings River, but it looks like we have a beautiful weekend ahead and I thought I might try and get out there for the first time.

Are there good stretches of water for wading or do you need a kayak/canoe? I will be headed that way from the Springdale area in Arkansas. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Upstream or downstream from the Hwy62 Access(between Berryville and Eureka) has some decent wading. Upstream a ways is the Trigger Gap access. Been a while since I waded, but I think downstream from it isnt bad.

If you have access to boats, I would say go for that. Riverside Resort has some good "private" accesses they use around Eureka. They have a good 4hr float trip coming into HWY 62 and also a nice 8hr going downstrem. Water temp may be a tad cool for smallies, but with the 70's going into this weekend, you may catch some good activity. Also the level looks pretty awesome for floating.

Will you be spin casting or fly rodding?

Trigger gap and Rockhouse would be your best bets. I don't wade, but I know someone who does and thats where they wade, Rockhouse being favored over trigger I believe.. As always, water level will affect any wading.

Thanks for the tips guys. I will be using the fly rod if I make it out there. Probably throwing sink tip with some big ugly bass flies
