West bank access

[Nighthawk]

I live in Nixa and I'm looking for an easy wading access to the West bank of the James to practice my river right spey casting. Preferably a gravel gently sloping bottom with a decent current. Thanks, Russ

Why a West bank?

bridge crossing 14 towards clever there is a trail down by the right side of the road.

vonreed, I need t duplicate a stretch of the nfow that I spey cast and it runs from right to left.

sorry, left to right.

Go to Kerr access, cross the river and go downstream about 100 yards and you will have a perfect place. Might even catch a fish or two.

Thanks, Flysmallie, I found another place, too. Hootentown access and Diane, the owner, is kind enough to let me practice there. I can recommend her to rent canoes from as she is very nice. Probably does shuttles, too. Russ

Anybody know what the water temp is around Hootentown?

Yep they do a great job. I have had them shuttle my vehicle several times too.
