 Crew |  Barton, Adam Barton, Scott |
| Condition | Good - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem. |
 Notes | On the river at 0800 and off at 1730 with sunny skies and a high of 88 degrees. The cost to put in at Brownbranch is about $10, so budget accordingly. The water level was ideal for fishing and floating. There was a slight stain to the water, which was in part to the creek still coming down from a flood the week prior. A few new trees were down in the water from the recent flood, which made a few technical spots to paddle through. Also, if the water level is any lower than this, there are many riffles that would need to be waded, with slick rocks as a hazard. The final riffle into Bradleyville is a real doozy, so be careful when making that last descent. Most fish were caught using finesse patterns, targeting structure found in the deeper and shaded areas of the creek channel. We caught mostly 10"-12" smallies with a few over 14" and lots of Ozark bass. Overall between Dad and myself, we caught over 100 fish on the day. One of the best fishing floats in Ozarks. |
