Good Put-In For A Kayak

Does anyone know of a good place to put in that is down from Francka Bridge, but well before PP bridge. I have found a spot a few years ago off of PP before you got to the bridge, but it is fairly steep banked and I don't think it would work well for kayaks.

I am wanting to fish what I always called "the Cave Hole". It is where the current starts to pick back up and I always had good luck fishing there in my Tracker Bantam. I used to put in at PP and head up the river until a Water Patrol Officer advised me to get off his lake.

On a side note I have been thinking about floating from Francka to PP and if anyone could give me an estimate on how long the float takes I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Use Google Earth and zoom in to the road crossings. I've checked the upper Pomme out doing so. Great tool for logistics.

That is how I found the high banked access. It has been years since i have done it, I should probably give it a try again.

I am curious as to why the Water Patrol Officer advised you to get off HIS lake?

Guy had an attitude with me from the start even though I polite and curtious for the entire ordeal. He seemed to think my boat was too small. Whites were running and there was some larger bass boats up there but that little bantam was fine as long as some one wasn't trying to swamp me on purpose. In all my years of fishing Pomme that is the first time I have seen Water Patrol that far up.

So I guess he really freaks out if he sees a skier in the water?

I have a source that says Francka to PP is 8 miles. That would be a long float on that river.

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Does anyone know if the upper Pomme De terre River is float-able?  I was looking at putting in at D Highway bridge.  I have never floated the Pomme De Terre river so this would be a new river for me.  I would be floating/fishing from a Kayak.
