Flysmallie Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Spent the weekend on the river with a couple of great friends. My first time actually floating the river and I do believe I fell in love with it. It could have used a little more water to cut out the dragging we did, which was very easy. It could have also been a little nicer weekend. Hasn't rained in like 17 years but you can gaurantee it will rain when I float. It was off and on all day Friday and Saturday. It was also very friendly to us when we camped. It even let us get everything loaded up Sunday morning before it rained. And that was the worst day for rain. But with only a couple miles to go to take out, it wasn't that bad. The fishing was good. We had a hard time figuring out what they wanted and struggled until we did. By evening of the first day everyone was soley using a Zara spook of some kind. We caught fish on other things but the spooks produced at least 95% of the fish with both of those guys landing a 16+ inch fish on one. I caught a bunch of fish but only got my heart broke by the river mosters. It was a beautiful place that I can't wait to get back to. Pics were a little limited since it was so wet most of the time but I managed to squeeze out a few between showers. awhuber, dpitt, fishinwrench and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Awesome pics, looks like a great stream to float. The nighttime tent pic is my fave. Flysmallie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrierman Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Beautiful. Question though. How on Earth did you come up with split dry firewood? I'm impressed. Flysmallie and dpitt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every canoe gets a trash bag of about 6 sticks of wood. Been doing it this way for awhile now.

jdmidwest Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Was just south of you on the 11pt at Hufstedlers all weekend. Did not see much of those clear skies that you took pics of.

Al Agnew Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Was that the only cottonmouth you saw? My last time there, I saw a half dozen. It has one of the largest populations of cottonmouths in the Ozarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
