River Map

[admin]

Here's a link to a map I've been working on. It's big mainly because it covers the river from Table Rock to Springfield lake. What I'd like to know is if the accesses are correct, names of roads and if I missed any important roads, fishing hole names... it's along way from being done but it's along ways down the river...

Thanks

Updated maps - these are split so they are bigger and easier to read. Christian provide me additional accesses. I need road names next- the map I have doesn't have names. But they should be easy to get.

Hiway O leads to Hootentown from hiway 160 and Horse Creek rd. leads to Kerr access off of 176.

finished, but if anyone has names of holes, bends or riffles, I can add them.

This one should be printable. Full map with corrections.

Does anyone have any information on the campground just North of McCall? I understand that the phone number on the sign isn't valid, thanks.

Phil - Here's the Bridgeport-to-Galena section of your map, marked with all the place names and information I know. This section is white bass country in the spring.

A couple of comments. I didn't mark Galena Park as having a launch ramp because the ramp there is so poor. The private ramp at McCord Bend ($2 launch fee) is much better. There's a good ramp on the west side of the river at Asher Cane Bottom too, but it's private for the homes there.

What I have marked as the "$3 Hole" is just downstream from McCord Bend, below the shallows. Coming from Galena by road, it's the next left turn-off past the one for McCord Bend. It's a dirt road on private property - owned by the fellow who has the canoe rental business near the Galena Bridge. The road passes his house then continues on to the river - he has a mailbox set up in front of the house, put $3 per vehicle in it. Where that road gets to the river, he has a GOOD place to bank fish for spoonbill and white bass and good 4-wheel-drive launching off the sandbar.

If we don't get a bunch of rain, I'll be launching at Bridgeport this year to get to as much as I can of this area. The way the river is now, I can't even get my Tracker through most of it! The guys with jet boats will have it made, though.

I'll email this map to you also. Hope it helps. - Sam

Actually, the area you have marked as "shallow" above Galena Park is known to the locals as Taylor Shoal. I've fished there many times, and even sunk a Chevy Blazer on 36" tires down to the frame on this gravel bar.

Also the area marked as Galena Park, is known locally as "Rolley's", as the name of the man who owned this area many years ago was Rolley Blunk. GOOD white bass fishing here, although better in a boat than from the bank in most cases. With the low water this year it looks like most of it will be wadeable. I haven't made it down there yet, but you can be sure it's in the plans!
