Going Tomorrow

[hoglaw]

This might be the least watched thread on the board, but figured I'd post anyway. Happen to be going down to Little Rock today so we're going to float the Little Red tomorrow. Not sure where yet, depends on generation. From the looks of the SWPP charts, generation has been twice a day for about four hours each time, so I imagine we won't have a hard time finding the right canoeing water. How has it been fishing lately?

They were running water from 6 to 6. We got there a little too late to put in at swinging bridge - the water was already starting to come up. Put in at dripping springs instead and floated to Ramsey. Fishing was quite good from 10-12, then tapered off quite a bit after noon. Caught plenty of rainbows but no size to speak of. Beautiful weather and not too many other folks fishing. Saw two or three boats I think. Water was just starting to rise a bit when we took out. Nice way to spend a day.

sounds like a good day hoglaw. You are right, this board doesn't get a lot of attention. As a kid, every summer my family and I camped at lobo landing and I kind of feel like I grew up there. One thing Ive never done that I want to do this summer is float from JFK park down to lobo, maybe even further. I like dripping springs, always fun to wadefish out there in the summer.

JFK to Lobo is a LONG float. We do JFK to Cow Shoals occasionally, but that's a &*%$# because you have to carry your canoe up the stairs at Cow. Cow to Swinging is good. Swinging to Lobo is a possibility too, but JFK to Lobo has got to be like 20 miles or something.

Wow, I didnt realize it was that far! How far do you think it is from cow to lobo and/or swingin to lobo?

[hoglaw]

I'm not really sure. You could google earth it and check. Cow to Swinging is maybe 5 miles? It's not a full day float for us. Swinging to Lobo is maybe 7 or so. We do both trips as little day trips, and neither take a full day.
