Thanks Deuce When I asked the question it had not rained in a while and the river was slowly falling and was about 2.5 ft. I felt I needed 5-6 inches more to float a loaded canoe so I was trying to find out how much it had to rain to raise the level a half foot. Then on Tuesday it rained 3.5 inches ...

Wally, I kayak fish Leeville, Pointe au Chein, etc from my Hobie PA 14, flyfish and regular gear. My flyfishing club has 3 trips planned for that area, spring, summer and fall, along with shrimp boil and fish fry. If the wind is over 10, then most put away their flyrod. Most are not hard fishermen, ...

Hi Wally; I've been watching the Ponca gage fall for two weeks and then saw the forecast for rain. I thought "great", get the level up to a no drag float, then 2 inches of rain raised the level from 2.5ft to 10 plus (gage maxed out), so I called BOC. They told me more wet stuff was in the ...

Not many IPA's in cans in my locale. I'll take you up on the beta for the three rivers in MO. 11 point slide show looks like Louisia...

Thanks for the welcome to ACC, and response to my plan. Now I have more questions. Do you tie a Clouser on the 5 wt for smallies? I suspect they would eat a wooly bugger also. Do I need to bring my hopped and dry hopped water with me or is there a watering hole between Little Rock and Ponca to load ...

Just joined and am looking for help planning a trip for me and the wife. We're retired so our trip dates are dependent on water level and weather. Our basic plan is to visit Hawksbill Crag at dawn then travel to Ponca to launch the canoe and take out at Pruitt 3-5 days later. Camp on gravel bars, an...
