Arkansas Canoe Club Forums

Eric, Same guy owns both Spider Creek Resort and the Beaver Dam Store. Bryce Cadion is the guy to talk to about floating. We do some guiding for the shop and he is always in the know on water and whats catching the fish. The lake is far enough down now, there isnt a ton of generation going on. What ...

Most of the Tailwaters(about the only places in Ark that hold trout) are very good for floating canoes, jons, driftboats, etc. The generation just makes for a faster float...not alot of trecherous water. Beaver Tailwaters below Beaver Lake is a good spot. Plenty of places to camp and as Bobber said,...

We have seen quite a few bald eagles this winter. A few below the dam at beaver and alot on the Elk. Havent been on the Kings since early fall. Level looks good for this weekend and with the temps almost getting the 50, they may start to feed a little bit.

Crooked Creek and Kings ae two of the better smallie streams in our area. War Eagle is great, but very dependant on water. I will have to go back through my notes to figure out what the level was last time we floated it. There is an outfitter renting canoes on it now as well......may be worth a call...

I dug through the ADEQ permits for the area and didnt see anything that jumped out.

HT - The further up you go, the more water dependent it is. I havent floated upstream from Pineville an awful lot. When water is good you can put in at Cyclone and come down. I use this for my river break down: http://www.missouricanoe.org/river-maps/elksugar.html" onclick="window.open(thi...

Larry.....I am amazaed you havent sold this yet. Killer price.

and the pictures....

Been a while since I posted a report......need to get back in the swing of it. Ken, Kevin and myself took the drift boats down the Elk sunday. Put in at Big Elk campground in Pineville and took out at Mt Shira. 7 river miles per the GPS. Water was great with only two instances having to get out and ...

Great spreadsheet. Thanks for putting it together and updating. Need to get with the Buffalo river group again in the new year.

What about different length classes? It would kinda break apart the lake yaks from the shorter.

Would you allow drift boats????

Eric, I am going to forward this info on to our fly fishing club. A bunch of us have boats and we havent done anything besides fish, as a group, in a little bit. Need to speak with Mr Bland about the mono recycling stations as well.

There are a few of us who float the waters of SW MO. Give a shout next time you decide to get out.

What is this spincasting???

Pretty well agree with JimE. Never brought a 6wt though. Might be fun when hooking a carp.

Fly Rods wise: 9ft. 5wt covers alot of species. For a good fight Sage makes a 000wt. Hard as hell to cast but fun for sunfish and bluegill. Wooly buggers, crazydads, popping bugs, or anything else that looks totally unedible. Terrestrials are great for the smaller panfish. Spin/Spincast: ........wha...
