A couple questions about the Current

[2sheds]

And I am serious about the crawdad patterns $ jigs.

[Chuck Moore]

How bad was the flood?? Saw the gauge was 8.5' and there was over 4.5" on rain in the watershed. Sounded serious, any reports??

Paint Rock is a long way on a rough road. I don't know much about Rocky Creek.

If you like to fish slow with soft plastics and jigs, Jerktail to Two Rivers and Two Rivers to Powdermill will suit you fine. Personally I don't fish that way, and both are way too short for me. And I believe that both are more like 5 miles each. On both floats, though, the alternative accesses are a long day's float...Williams Landing to Two Rivers is something like 14 miles, and Two Rivers to Logyard is about the same. Jerktail to Powdermill is pretty sweet, but I don't know what the folks at Two Rivers charge for a shuttle since they have to both put you in and come and get you at the end. Eminence to Two Rivers on the Jacks Fork will give you all the fishing and scenery you'd want...just ignore the fact that the river is somewhat contaminated with horse poop.

Well that's just horse crap! I'm guess the upper JF is less contaminated, since poop rolls down stream. Al, I'm not big on fishing slow especially from a canoe. Now I'm sure at some point we will stop and wade a bit and then I will use some slower plastics. Top water, cranks, and weightless flukes while floating. I'm definitely going to have to do some more research on how accessible some these accesses are. The laster revision are having the trip look like this, Jerktail to Robert Field in two days. 17.2 miles sounds perfect to me.

Two rivers charged us something like $40 to put us in at Eminence and then drive our car to Powdermill the next day. We camped at Two Rivers.

Plans have been finalized, floating from Pulltite to Two Rivers. I will make a report when I get back. Thanks for all of the feedback.

If you are having Two Rivers shuttle you, they are great people to work with.  We've used them twice and were very helpful.

You will be happy with that float.  In my opinion that's the most beautiful section of the river, with lots of impressive bluffs.  And the fishing can be very good, especially below Round Spring.

Make a note to walk up to Pulltite Spring, will be on river right not far from the put in. Usually some trout in the big hole just below Pulltite Spring. Fire Hydrant spring keeps that cold. Extra flashlights required to explore Little Jem Cave not far above Round Spring. Should be a great float. Devils Well is a short side trip.

Put in at Pulltite on sunday floated about 15 miles before setting up camp on a perfect gravel bar. Spent less time fishing than I'd of liked due to having to paddle the canoe with all of the gear. Caught 6 smallmouth 13-17 inch range below round spring. All came on 1/4 buzzwait. There were not many people on the water which seemed pretty strange considering the holiday. Monday floated the last 12 miles down to two rivers. I hooked up with something really big and brown above jerktail, before losing it. It felt huge. Overall, I wish I could have fished more but spending the night on a gravel bar in the ozarks can't be beat. Sorry for no pictures, I'm gonna have to figure out how take fish selfies some day.
