Three Day Float

[The Kayak Kid]

Lest we forget the DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer (they make one for each state). I'm still convinced the load of gravel I disbursed at the homestead is going to show up in a future edition.

If you want to know the back-roads, springs, landmarks, conservation areas (state & federal) - all in a convenient atlas, it's pretty darn cool. Stays on my front passenger seat.

I've floated Akers to round spring found the fishing good. Can anyone comment on how the fishing is from round spring to two rivers,ie are the good pools or alot of slw straight strecthes.

Round Spring to Two Rivers has excellent smallmouth fishing, with some good goggle-eye fishing as well. There aren't too many slow stretches unless the water is really low.

Thanks,I made the choice because of less traffic. Good to have some experienced advise.

I think we may still try to do Round Spring to Logyard. Has anyone used the Roberts Field access? It looks like that might cut off about 5 miles.

Are there any special baits to consider for Current River smallies? Is a light action rod and 6lb test an appropriate set up?

Thanks to everyone for their input!

I can fish with a swimming minnow all day long and catch fish. Anything with a spinner will produce fish also. Last year I spent a week on the river Baptist down to Big Spring. I used about three different baits and spent most of it with the swimming minnow. You shouldn't have a problem catching fish

off topic but I didn't want to start a new thread. Can any locals tell me what kind of activities there are for kids around the pulltite campground on weekend nights? Thanks for any info

35 miles? Why? Trust me, it'll impress no one. But, go ahead. Knock yourself out. Your deal-io. Bring an extra paddle, not an extra fishing rod.

[Ultralance12]

Agreed. We did 27 miles in 3 days last year in low water (stagnant) conditions and while it was certainly doable it cut into our fishing to much and we basically had to row for three days. I'd rather float a distance were I purposely have to slow down (and fish) than have to paddle to pull out on the right day.

They have some interpretive nature programs occassionally down at Pulltite...and I think there is a playground. I'd contact the National Park Serice and ask them about the schedule for those programs. Swimming, Hiking, and Canoeing are the main attractions though..Best swimming hole is right across from Group Site two at the end of the CG...Pulltite spring dumps in just above...and fire hydrant spring is right across the river. Its worth the hike up the creek to see Pulltite Spring. Have fun.
