Little Piney Kayak Float

[skippingstone]

I had a very relaxing kayak float this weekend on the Little Piney. Saturday I put in a the Vida Slab low-water bridge south of Rolla and took out at Milldam Hollow south of Newburg. I did not have much luck fishing, but the float was great and would recommend it. You have to arrange transportation yourself, but it was well worth it. It took around four hours, with a couple stops for fishing. This week I am going to try from Yancy Mills to the Bridge in Newburg for a much longer float. I'll let you know how it goes. I am hoping that hitting the spring sections will give my fly fishing a boost.

Sounds like a good trip. If you start further upstream like you mentioned this week, you should definitely have better trout fishing...The stretch below Vida Slab is starting to get a little iffy for trout by now. Down there it's going to be mostly smallmouth fishing from now to about October.

Yancy to to Newburg is going to be a very full day's float with all the dragging you'll have to do. Better start early, and good luck!
