Seth Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Does anybody have links to some maps of the James River and the names of the holes? The only ones that I know of are Flat Creek and Asher Cane Bottom. I don't know where the other ones are exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin admin Posted January 25, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted January 25, 2006 Funny that you asked... I've been all over the net and looked for paper maps and can't find any. I started tracing the James River last year and haven't finished it... but when I do I'm going to need alot of help identifing access points and names of holes. I know this isn't going to be welcomed to many who don't want their favorite fishing holes showing up on someone's map but even I'd like to learn the river a bit better. It's on my list........

Wayne SW/MO Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Are you looking for the river above Galena? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 25, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm doing the whole river from the dam to Flat Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 I only know of those two becuase that is where we do most of our snagging around. I heard last year though that some monster spooners were caught by McCord's Bend, made me wonder where exactly that spot is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 26, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted January 26, 2006 Isn't McCord's Bend just upstream from Blunk Hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Isn't McCord's Bend just upstream from Blunk Hole? Nope. McCord Bend has the first ramp DOWNSTREAM from Galena Park. Blunk Hole is above the first bend UPSTREAM from the Park. If you're doing the lake map from the dam to Flat Creek, that won't do it. All the places we're talking about are above Flat Creek, quite a ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 26, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted January 26, 2006 Something to look over. I'll work on it tomorrow... or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Lilley - Maybe I misunderstood? Maybe you meant from the dam (Lake Springfield?) at the TOP of your tracing down to Flat Creek? I thought you meant from Tablerock Dam up to Flat Creek. The only part of the tracing of significance to white bass fishermen is the very bottom, from Tablerock Lake up to Galena. James River is only passable by waders, bank fishermen, canoes, and car-topper boats on float trips above there. I know the river well between Gentry Cave Hole (below Galena) and Bridgeport (Tablerock Lake). If you want, I'll work with your tracing and add the names, holes, ramps, and access points I know. Let me know whether you intend to map the whole river as shown on your tracing or only the white bass areas near the bottom. I don't know the river above Gentry Cave, but if you're doing only the bottom part I can help. - Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 26, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm planning on doing the whole river eventually because alot of people float it for smallmouth. And there are public accesses up and down the river I'd like to identify plus the sections canoe outfitters offer for floating. Like I said before- there's nothing out there as far as maps or info like this- even MDC doesn't have anything that I know of. the original map I'm working with is 1900 x 3000 px so it's a huge file. Well- here- this is a section of the map I think you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
