Fall is such a gorgeous time to be out on the water... bugs are down, leaves are in their prime colors, and the aluminum hatches of summer with their drunken noisemakers are no more. This was the first year in several that I didn't get out for some of that... now I'm REALLY kicking myself! Thanks for sharing!

My son and I did several Good Friday floats in Arkansas on the Buffalo and the Mulberry. I did those floats for years with the same group. I had a little trailer that had homemade tree racks for 6 canoes with old car seatbelt tiedowns and storage for the gear in a large box. Spring was usually fast water.

They all have the narrow 2-3 person 20' flat bottom trout boats. They can pack enough to stay for a short week and have some great smallmouth fishing. I think that they use small electric trolling motors for long flat water, but moters are seldom used. Last edited by croldfort; 11/12/11.

We fished the morning from his boat in some reservoir and the afternoon wade fishing the Buttahatchie. Very cool day and a beautiful river! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glrU4JKV1SI Last edited by turkish; 11/13/11.
