Next weekend

[Brian Sloss]

Next weekend, the last weekend in Jan, is supposed to have an average high temperature Fri through Sunday in the low 60's. My advice, take advantage and do some floating, fishing, hiking, sight seeing, or all of the above. We have plenty of rental cottages open. The 11 Point is calling your name. We operate by reservation only this time of year. Call 417-778-6497 to reserve. www.11pointcanoe.com.

How does the river look post-flood?  Any major changes or new hazards you know of?  Is 1100 cfs a decent flow for fishing out of a canoe?

Thanks.

 know there is one blockage just above Greer Spring and probably 1 or 2 more above Greer, there always is after floods.  The first island below Greer boat ramp was blocked on the  river right side.  was sorta cut out, but still ify.  I would go left at the island until someone clears the right side properly.  There is a big sycamore down at Turner just above the lower South boat ramp. Inexperienced floaters could get in trouble there because they won't get to the other side of the river soon enough.  There have been plenty of changes to the river from the flood that most people won't really notice.  Always is.  I don't think there is anything a person who knows how to operate on the river can't handle.  Have not been able to get out much myself to give first hand info on everything.
