woodman Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Trip pics. Yes, I drug the kayak consistently because of low water, Like I said before graphite works wonders... Muffin enjoyed the trip... http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
GloryDaze Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Did you go above Cedar Camp or below? I couldn't imagine the upper section having any water to float. Bet you had the river almost to yourself though. Thx for the pics, love the boat Follow me on Twitter @DazeGlory
woodman Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 I went above Green's Ford the day I arrived. It had plenty of water and a long deep hole with plenty of action.....Sat. rumrunner and I floated from camp to Bannister Ford. A lot of kayak dragging yet deep holes and prey good fishing..We both had a good time... Sunday I decided to go see water I hadn't seen before, above Griswald Ford. Same conditions only stopped by a lot of down timber, didn't feel like unloading to portage further.. I saw the Springs they're bubbling up pretty awesome.... There is a lot of river I have never seen from Mule shoe down to Griswald 11 miles worth.... Then Monday morning before I left I put in there at camp and paddled upstream and discovered the stream had been redirected...It changed by cutting a new path into Macks Creek which was beautiful.. a series of deep holes and ripples under deep shade for quite a ways up till I reached the main channel... Another part of the river I haven't seen is the stretch from Bannister to Fiery Fork.... Sure, I have put in at all these Fords and fished up and down stream of each of them for short distances... in a mellow afternoon of fishing... I have paddled up from J bridge to the private low-water bridge several times in the past, that is some memorable times..... I always love the solitude of the place, and the steep hills and bluffs, almost mountanious for that little stretch of the Ozarks! http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
rumrunner Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 wanted to thank woodman for showing me the little niangia.there was a lot of dragging but i don t think much more than where i have been going on the niangia and pommie.doesn't bother me as i get out alot to wade fish anyway.it was great fishing and woodmans' kayak and camper are really something to see!what a craftsman.muffin rides like a pro up front and was a big hit with the girl floaters...
woodman Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Ah! Dave,,,I could spend the summer down there and not get burnt out from being on the river... http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
