This is a fun, short paddle starting from the old Fayetteville water plant- water was at good levels, great after work paddle!

Buffalo River Maumee North to Buffalo Point

This is a video from September of this year- My friend Jeff B and I took a quick overnight from Maumee North to Buffalo Point...opened up with some showers, but after noon, the rest of the trip was gravy. What that video does not capture are the packs of coyotes "yipping" in the middle of the night- incredible!

Buffalo River, Arkansas: Kayaking the Hwy 14 Bridge to Shipps Ferry (White River) September 26th, 2015

This was an incredible trip my brother and I had been planning for quite some time....It was his first major trip on the Buffalo, and it did not disappoint!  Eagles, Osprey, River Otters, Hogs, and a confrontation with a really bad strainer has both of us swimming towards the end....lost my DeLormme PN-60 as well as a nice rod...sometimes the river has a price.  The blood moon eclipse the second night was incredible!
The White River was really, really rolling- we hit it at the confluence and paddled about 5 miles to the exit ramp- really cold and fast (and dangerous!)

Kayaking Grand Glaize Arm of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri

Mid week is a great time to kayak Lake of the Ozarks in the summer time (I would not suggest doing it on the weekend due to the chop from all the boat traffic)....Herons, swallows, deer...tons of wildlife in this part of the lake- both sides are part of the State Park so there is no development

Fly Fishing White River, Arkansas- Beaver Tailwaters- great time landing Arkansas rainbow trouts!

This is not the normal kayak fishing post- we have more of those coming to you this year.  Sometimes, on occasion, we like to go ahead and grab the waders and dust off the fly rods for some trout fishing action.  This was a great day to hit the beaver tailwaters in April.  We landed over (10) trout in a 3-4 hour period.  The weather was excellent, and it was a great confidence builder for myself, considering I have not thrown a fly in a couple of years.

I have already decided that I plan on incorporating the fly rod in our kayak fishing adventures.

Fish ON!
