LITTLE MISSOURI TAILWATER TRIP FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2012

Post by CAPTAIN ALEVE » Tue May 15, 2012 2:29 pm

The Narrows Dam releases this week consist of two generators rather than the usual three. This provides the best water level for play.

The flow starts at 3:00 p.m. I'd like to leave Little Rock around noon which would put me at the take-out about 2:15 p.m. That will leave a little time for paddling around at the put-in and looking at the fish before the flow starts. The take-out is located on West 13th Street (also known as Muddy Fork Road) in Murfreesboro. The Narrows Dam impounds Lake Greeson. The put-in is about five miles north of Murfreesboro on Highway 19 at a Corps of Engineers recreation area called Riverside; don't get that confused with the AGFC access called River Ridge, keep going about another mile and a half. Here's a map:

If I can't get at least one other paddler to show up and provide the other half of a shuttle, the trip won't take place. Let me know if you are interested.

This week won't work for me due to work commitments, but once they announce next week's releases, I will try to rally a group for Friday May 25th if they are generating. Our offices will be closing early for Memorial Day...

For y'all who will not be heading out of town for Memorial Day, consider joining us (TBD - based on release schedule!)

If my cartisone has cooled my shoulder by then, I could go and test it. 8)

The trip is on. Meet me at noon at the K-Mart parking lot on Rodney Parham Road in Little Rock if you want to share a ride or follow me. Farmbus will meet us at the take-out at about 2:15.

Mike thanks for running the trip as I have never done this section before. I'm in a green ford van. Retirement is a great thing. BOB

Yo Bob,

Are you going to meet us at the take-out in Murfreesboro or at K-Mart in Little Rock?

We've got five paddlers taking part so far.
