I used SongDog Kayaks last week to float from Harmon to Pyatt, and then from Pyatt to Snow. We rented 3 yaks – all were Wilderness Ride 115s outfitted with rod holders, nice seat cushions and dry bags. Dan and Peggy Pratt, the owners, were great to work with. They were flexible on times, ready to meet you at the put-in whenever you wanted. They shuttled our SUV with no problems. They wanted to know how the float went, what worked with the kayaks and what didn't, and if there were any trees down across the creek and where. I could tell they were interested in maximizing the experience, especially for fishermen! Dan spent time with us before the first float showing us how to adjust all the seat and foot positions. He plans to put more information on his website about CC water levels, and may even offer lodging in the future. Overall, a great experience. I live in Omaha, NE, and only get to come down and fish this area about once a year, so it's crucial to have an outfitter who is easy to reach (by phone at 7 am!) and willing to work with us on scheduling around the crazy weather we seem to be having. I plan on using them again next year without a doubt.

It was also great to see several Crooked Creek Canoes out there. We did business with Jimmie Walker in the past, and it was good to see his boats still out there carrying on his business.

I second SongDog's services.  Dan shuttled our truck from Snow to Yellville for a float last weekend.  He was great to coordinate with via email and phone and provided plenty of good intel about float logistics and conditions.  We rode out a rough storm at Georges Creek Friday night and got a call from him during the storm to ensure we were ok.  He even swung by Saturday morning just to see how we were doing.  Heck he also greeted us with coffee on Friday morning and won me over!

 

FYI Dan did say he may start running some trips on the White next year as well.
