John Andrews Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Since I work 4 - 10 hour shifts, I have Fridays off to fish. I'd like to float the James from Crieghton Access to Springfield lake. The problem is of course I need a vehicle at each end. If you wanna give this float a try, let me know and we can work out the date and details. Other close by floats are an option also.

John Andrews Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well I have some vacation time I gotta use up before they take it. Mondays might work with enough notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian B. Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 This post is an excellent idea, very, very good idea.. Hope someone chimes in, heck once I get settled I may be down for a 2014 trip, because I am fully aware of your problem, the pickup/ drop off... And because I am super curious about Springfield and Fellwos Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBreth Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 First - Crighton to the Lake is one of my least productive stretches of the James - I don't even hit it anymore except on a whim once every couple of years. There are some fish but I'll spend my time on more productive water. Second - Most of the time I don't have the time or schedule for shuttles either. Most of the time my solo trips on the river are paddle and portage up, then float back down. This can be tricky for kayaks - the double bladed paddle is a liability when trying to get upstream in the current seem right beside the bank - you keep hitting the blade against the bank and it just doesn't work very well. This is one of the reasons why I like the little Old Town Pack solo - light, easy to paddle upstream, and super easy to portage. One of my favorite trips on the James is up from H.L. Kerr - it takes a little skill with the paddle and one portage just upstream a bit from the ramp - but it's in the trophy area and totally worth it.
