MSUFisherBear Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Taking this week off to do some yard work, especially with the wind (tough to fight in the yak and fish when its gusting this much). I have a quick question for future reference, though. Does anyone know if there is any type of access points that I could launch my kayak from farther up other than at the boat ramp/park at Rockaway? I don't mind launching from there, as I know there is some pretty good fishing right at the mouth, but looking for something where it's not quite as long of a paddle to gt to skinnier water (especially if I want to take back out and relaunch some place else later in the day). I've scoured Google Maps but nothing really sticks out as an access point and MDC doesn't reference anything. Thanks for any help!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 19, 2016 Root Admin Posted March 19, 2016 You're talking about Bull Creek? There's an access at highway 160 that's easy to put in at. One at Bull Creek Township behind the gas station on highway F. Then there's Rockaway.
vonreed Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 There is no other launch points that I'm aware of than those 2. But you could use that same Google map and start finding private owners close to where you wanna fish and ask them.
RSBreth Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Slab Ford off of Round Mountain Road way up near where Ozark Shooters is on 65 is the furthest upstream easy access. Don't know if you want to be up that far, but from there to Rockaway is an easy half day fish float.

Will do! I'm still learning Taney right now, and out of the kayak it's been a blast. It's a whole different world in terms of water temps and fish species (trout) from what I learned on, but it's a blast learning about it, especially when I do run in to some success. I'm not sure why (it may be a confidence thing) but I've always felt I've done better on skinnier water (even out of a bass boat). It goes hand in hand with the kayak idea, especially with the layout of Taney. That's been part of my reason to want to know some of those places I can get to with a kayak. Likewise, I want to stay out of the way as much as possible of the guys in the boats. It's less of a safety concern for me, and I know it's a lot safer for them as well (they can maneuver much more quickly than I). Plus I like knowing that where I can get to, only a select group of people can fish, too. crappie_adams83 1 There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving

Not sure how well I would do but I think it'd be fun. I've searched some out on the Internet. Any ideas on where to look? I've seen some past events for Taney and TR, but I'm not sure where I'd find any info on upcoming ones. ramman123 1 There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving
