Guest Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 This is as low as I have ever seen the upper jacks fork. 26 CFS, we need some rain....BAD http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mo/nwis/uv?site_no=07065200
jdmidwest Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 26 centimeters for shallow.... I spent the last 2 weekends on the Spring River in Ark. It is about what it normally is at the end of a dry summer. 11 Point is the same way, alot of ramp at the 142 access. We are about 12 inches short for the year at my local. Picked up almost a whole tenth on Sunday morning. Watered garden again on Monday. I have been keeping a water bowl out in front of a game camera to keep squirrels out of corn. Just went thru 137 pics of birds, squirrels, rabbits, and a possum visiting it as a water source last week. Good news, the water tables had been recharged the last 2 years with some record flooding, so the big rivers should make it. Some of the smaller streams will be really depressed this year in July and August. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
TroutRinger Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I'm floating Alley to Two Rivers this Sunday. Always enough water there, but we were planning on doing a mini-float on Saturday. Was thinking Prongs for the put in but may have to go down river and float Bay Creek to Alley. Any thoughts? "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy."

Guest Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 The upper river will be a drag-a-thon. Try shawnee creek to two rivers.
eric1978 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 No way I'd put in at the Prongs. I'd at least go down to Blue Spring to Rymers for a shorter float. You'll still drag plenty...but the Prongs will be dead low.
TroutRinger Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 We are going to be in kayaks, not canoes. Even so, the plan now is to just go to a put in and walk/paddle upstream and fish. Ended up not having enough trucks to shuttle the kayaks. "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy."

Members lukem Posted June 28, 2012 Members Posted June 28, 2012 We floated from hwy 17 to Alley this past weekend. Fishing was good and the floating wasn't to bad from Blue Springs to Bay. We did have to walk through a lot of shallows but the views and the fishing made up for it.
