| St Louis and all POF's Float trip June 6th to the 8th Posted: 4/11/2008 12:17:14 PM | Okay, I just signed up, and look forward to the trip! I still need Twin Bridges to confirm my reservation. I'm pitching a tent and reserved one canoe. So, I'll have room for an extra person if they need an experienced partner. Although, after I drink a few beers, the word, "experienced" becomes diluted.
If enough spots are open on a raft, I may jump on board. Although, I personally prefer a canoe, and the navigation. Be sure to bring a fishing pole, always fun to stop a long the way and throw in a line.
I plan to travel down Thursday night, and if I do, I may try and float the Bryant River also on Friday. Although, I won't have a partner for a canoe, I may give the kayak a try. As that seems to be the theme for a Friday float.
Note: if you're hesitant about going, don't! You can always find a raft or a canoe to jump onto. Although, two to each canoe is my recommendation. Three to a canoe starts to get cramped, at which point you should move to a raft. Just my .02 cents.
I look forward to seeing everyone and hurry up June! | |

| St Louis and all POF's Float trip June 6th to the 8th Posted: 4/15/2008 12:29:41 PM | I realy don'y know where we will start at on the bryant.It will all depend on the river level in june.But most likly we'll start out at Hodgesmill and float down to Hwy.FF that is a 9 mile run or start at hwy FF and float down to Tecumse and that is a 10 mile float.but Like i said before it all what the river level is. . Later on in May when its closer to the float we can deside what section of the Bryant creek we'll do the friday float. | |

| St Louis and all POF's Float trip Posted: 4/15/2008 2:24:56 PM | | When I saw this thread I never clicked on it because I thought it was way up by St Louis but this is where I play with my dogs! You guys are going to love it. I really wish you wouldnt give away our little spot and come populate it though...geez!! No this is not class 5 white water rapids or put a helmet on your head. This is stick your azz in a tube, beer in a cooler and float down a crystal clear quiet beautiful river. I have friends that live near St Louis and they drive down here to float. You cant compare the two. | |

| St Louis and all POF's Float trip Posted: 4/15/2008 2:56:00 PM | I know not for you.I have been down on the North many of times.Thats one of the reasons I picked this river.it's eazy for the non-paddler and there are a few rifts for the folks like me to do some splish splashing.Plus it's not nearly as crouded as some of the rivers up here.I all so has stayed at Twin bridge's a few times and they were all ways helpfull with the campers and paddlers it a nice clean and well mantained camp ground.don't worry I'm not going to let out your secret river LOL. So not for you why don't you sign up and join us LOL and float with the gang of fish LOL | |

I have been a member for several years and many places will give discounts if you pick up trash along the way. There is normally a bag minimum, but heck, you're just floating down a river. Why not help improve our Missouri Rivers and Streams? I was just wondering if anyone knew the answer to my question.
