Cedargrove to Round Spring can be a good 3-4 day float. The scenery between Cedar and Akers is some of the best on the river and the trout fishing can be good if its been recently stocked. Akers to Pulltite is a nice float, good scenery, but its usually poor fishing (no stocked trout, to cold for smallmouth). The smallmouth fishing is a little better from Pulltite down to Round Spring, but the lower river is much better. You shouldnt have a hard time finding a good gravel bar to camp on, firewood can be scarce.

Baptist to Cedargrove offers the best trout fishing, but be aware of the 1 trout> 18" no bait or no soft plastic regulations. Also, there is a low water bridge that at Cedargrove, you'll have to portage if you want float from Baptist to a spot below Cedar Grove.

Try the Jack's Fork above Alley Spring during the week. The stretch above Rymers offers lots of partially submerged rocks, twisty bends, and a couple small drops that to make it fun, the scenery is great, and you can usually catch a few fish.

There will probably be some Smallmouth on spawning beds in May, please leave them alone. You can avoid most of the spawning fish by fishing a spinners, crankbaits, and top waters instead of bait or plastic on the bottom. Cheers.

on the no soft no live bait regulations.. i have always wondered.. say you are floating from baptist to say akers or further down.. you are going to want to use plastics on the end of the trip no doubt.. is it legal to have them in the boat just not tied on?? or can you not bring your tackle with you?

It's perfectly legal to have the plastics in your boat. Just be aware of where the boundaries are.
