Took my 14' raft with oar rig down on Wednesday. They were running 2 units. State park dock did our shuttle for $40. Took 3 hours with zero effort spent on downstream movement and no stops (none to be had really). Fishing was slow.

Went out Friday afternoon and floated the dam to White Hole on 3 units. Saw someone with a nice Raft at WH. It took us a little under 2 hours to float it. How was Wildcat on 2 units?

No problems, plenty of water. Had the wind blown hard upstream it would have required quite a bit of rowing downstream in places.

Excellent! As of Friday they have started minimum flow at Bull Shoals Dam. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it raises the water levels.

We did Cotter to Rim Shoals last year at near minimal flow and did not drag. Did require some down river rowing. I had four adults in the raft. Fishing was good. Rim Shoals resort will shuttle as well.
I'd like to go from Rim to Buffalo City if I knew the water would be up.
