Kayak Fishing?

I have to say that I think taking a kayak on the rock would be a mistake. I always try to find a body of water that a boat cant get on. In a large pond or small lake you will find better bass fishing. There is much less pressure and they get bigger.

I would just put in, in the back of any of the lakes tributarys. Like up the james river, or way up the kings, or the back of flat creek. There won't be any big boats up that way. Plus the fishing can be really good.

I fish Beaver quit a bit out of my solo canoe (gets blown around in the wind a little more) and you can have a blast - I mainly target areas I already know, but I'd start in smaller coves and creek arms.

Another thing - you don't have to worry about a shuttle if you paddle and portage up from the river access point, just float back down when your done.

Its not unusual to have outstanding days when confined to a small area of a big lake. Whether it's because of wind, motor problems or deliberate, it can work out well.

The Roaring River arm is another great place for a small vessel. Start at the 86 bridge over RR just north of Eagle Rock and it's a pretty easy paddle all the way to the confluence with the main lake. Lot's of K's chasing shad, crappie, white bass, and the occasional rainbow.
