Trip Report 9/8-9/9

[Daffron Outdoors]

Floated Mark Oliver to Yellville City Park on a 2 day trip. The water had risen from recent rain. Level was 10.3 and 130 flow when we put in. By the next afternoon, flow was down to about 60. Lot of scraping, but tore the Smallies up. My buddy used mostly spinners and caught a few goggle eye as well. I caught everything on a Rapala Shadow wrap. All released. I also filmed the trip and put it on Youtube. Go check out "Daffron Outdoors" if you enjoy those kind of videos!

I liked that river the few times I floated it back in the 90's, even with the gravel mining going on that Whitlock was fighting.  We did the area above Yellville and waded it down above where it became a loosing stream.  Used to see a roadrunner or 2 down there along the road on the trips over.

I need to get back down that way next year.  I have been lingering around TN waters too long.

No.  Not sure where that is. 

Did read a few OUI magazines back in college.

Just outside of Knoxville.   More specifically below Douglas Dam.
