Current River Akers Ferry to Pulltite Ozark National Scenic Riverways

- This video starts a series about Missouri's Ozark National Scenic Riverways. This time we float from Akers Ferry to Pulltite. This was our first float, and we did this one because it was on the way to our Airbnb. I already check it out and knew it was going to be a beautiful float. I also knew the fishing in this stretch was bad for smallmouth if not all fish. I think it's too cold for most fish and not cold enough to hold a good number of trout. Although, I got a nice rainbow and a few smallmouths still so that was cool.

Best tip for fishing the rivers...fish behind the canoe...go with the current and you will have a lot more luck
Some trout lures may help too. 😆 I have to assume there's not a lot of bass in there.
I’m near Kansas city and thinking of going and making this trip soon. Looks beautiful
Ryan, it's so cool, man. It's definitely worth the trip. Also, check out Jack's Fork. I have a video of it too, but it was beautiful too.
Really liking this,, not a lot of talking or music, one can hear nature.
Thank you. I love the sound of nature. Thanks for checking it out.
That trout was going nuts!
The one I lost would have been my first brown trout. They were both good ones, too. I didn't really try to catch trout when I floated it. 😆
My husband and I float, fish, and camp on this river all the time. Our absolute favorite. We look forward to bringing out kids out when they get big enough.
It's beautiful, and I plan on taking my kids this year.
is it a safe river for rookie kayakers
There's definitely a lot of rookies that float it. It's a pretty cool float, too. I would think you'd be fine. I'd definitely wear a life jacket just in case. The water is FREEZING 🥶. If it's cold outside, I'd suggest taking extra clothes in case you get wet.
@@ShowMeCreeks awesome, thanks for the response!
Scenic indeed! That little cave pool was incredible.
If was pretty neat.
beautiful spot! ive gotta go! nice trout and smallies! sucks you didnt get that brown trout in the yak but still a great trip!
Different sections will hold more trout or smallies. Tbh I was just planning on fishing one till the night before.
Yes the rapids are cool until you tip! Those waters remind me of alley springs! My uncle would walk us out to were the spring meets the jacks fork! Cold on one side warm the other side!
I definitely dont want to tip. I have too much fiahing gear for that 😆 but I love Jacks Fork. It is pretty neat, feeling the water change temps around the springs. Thanks for checking it out.
Nice video!I will go floating same section on Current River in October .
Thank you. It's a beautiful float and the cave is very awesome.
Its hard to express the beauty of Missouri to my bros. This does quite a bit of justice for that.
This was one of the prettiest stretches I've done, but the Current River has several.
Nice GoPro setup on the hat. I'll need to remember that the next time I go.
Thank you. I use a backpack clip as a hat clip. The actual hat clips are small, and they'll fall off. This is pretty good size and clamps hard. Good luck out there.
Fishing the lower current river is much better from van buren to doniphan and down to the Arkansas line. Bigger water tho
I'd be open to trying it.
We was just going to do Eleven Point but changed that the night before. I'll be floating all of it at some point just starting there since it was on the was to our cabin.
Are we going downstream of this?
Yeah, and I was thinking Sunday we could do this if you wanted. It's obviously awesome.
@@ShowMeCreeks its very awesome, not super fishy tho huh?
Not bass. All the bass I caught was in the last mile or two 😆 idk how good of a trout population there is, but both those were probably 15 inches or bigger.
@ShowMeCreeks im down for whatever! I wanna go where the fish are my girl wants to go where its pretty. We will find plenty of both!
@SunfishKing story of my life. Most of the time, it's where she wants to float, and I fish it. 😆 I like the good-looking areas too. Even if I don't catch as many fish. Sometimes, it'll be hard to fish because you'll be engulfed with the beauty. Or not. 😆
My raft trip in that area was ditto. Nice fish and awesome float!
What did you catch trout?
How is the gauge this year. I want to float later in Sept.
I use Riverapp to check levels but to my knowledge that's floatable all year. I would have to assume it was still down compared to previous years. I don't recall dragging on this float.
Great rainbow! Are you ever tempted to start a channel for trout?
Not really. I don't know enough about trout to be honest but if I did I'd just post it here. I'll be trout fishing soon. Thanks btw. I thought it was pretty good too.
I hate catching trout just because im so dang scared of killing them. I have had a few rainbows and a brown die on me. They are so sensitive and big hooks will make them bleed out. I dont mean to but all the areas I fish have them a little here and there.
Yeah they die over anything. 😆 🤣 This one seemed fired up.
That is an awesome looking River in that rainbow trout was pretty cool. Nice video!
Thank you. It an awesome area
keren bos 👋👋👋
Ty
@@ShowMeCreeks sip 👍
It is considered a bad area because it starts being too warm for trout but yet still too cold for smallmouth
That's what I figured. I bet with the right bait you could do pretty good. I missed a couple of smallies. Maybe if I went with the Craw earlier. Never know now. 😆 🤣
What was the date of your float?? Is there a gage you look at to evaluate the floatability?
I use RiverApp if I'm checking levels. Idk what day it was exactly but most if my videos are released within days. That was the Friday before it was released.
Bonafide SS107? How did it handle on the Current river? I didn't hear you scraping bottom.
It was great. They're very stable, but the tracking isn't the best. A couple paddle touches to the water, and it lines out. I personally love the kayak.
Yes it is a SS107.
I have fished that area for 20 yrs. They are hard to catch for many reasons. That was a beautiful, big rainbow. And you released it unharmed.
Thank you Frank. I assume flies would work better but that just not how I do it. Lol good luck to ya
Beautiful River. Look forward to the rest of the series Bro ! 👍
Thank you man. It was a good time.
Imma consider that a success too. Lol. You got it on video for the proof. That scenery was nice man, almost first brown and catching when no one else does. That's a good day
Next time I'll hit a different section and find some more bass.
“Imma”? Ok Cletus…..
☝🏾There’s always one of these guys.
Always 😆
Absolutely amazing scenery!! Nice big rainbow!
It was beautiful man. I wasn't expecting a trout on the Craw but why not. Hahaha
Pretty place for sure.
I'll find a section that is loaded with smallies next time hopefully.
Hammered floating in deep moving water is not the best of ideas. They might tourist from Indiana.
Beautiful place Larry. Loved the bluff walls and cave. Ready for episode #2.
Thanks man. They could even fall off and hit their head on a rock in these lirapid sections. With that being said I've done it several times. They were all amazing but my favorite was the last one. Like I might move favorite. 😆 🤣
I didn't expect to see the rainbow but was very cool! Great looking stretch! To bad losing the brown! At least a few smallies there! Good luck with everything my friend!
Thank you Mark. I was just watching your lure video. Good looking stuff.
@@ShowMeCreeks Thanks buddy!!
Absolutely beautiful scenery, Larry! The fishing turned out pretty good also. You have the video to prove it. Lol...nice rainbow...gonna get some Nikko craws.

What an incredible place to explore, the scenery was beautiful there!
It was very relaxing
that's an amazing float. the water, the views, those were amazing Larry! The fishing is just the cherry on top.
That's how I felt. I knew the fishing wasn't good but it was still worth it. I made up for the fishing on the next two.
Ok even if not even 1 fish that scenery makes it all worth it... Great upload Larry
Haha that's what I figured
That craw is money brother! I had to order two packs. That trout was almost as pretty as the scenery. Tough luck on the brown. Loving the videos.

@@ShowMeCreeks Awesome thanks!
Floated that part of Current River last Spring. Beautiful area. I love it there.
It was gorgeous. I wish I knew how to fish it better. 😆
Larry, that was awesome. That's one of the feistiest trout I've ever seen too. Gorgeous rainbow! Terrible that brown got away. Never thought to use a craw for trout, but I may have to invest in some of those! Come to think of it, I do have some craw flies that I may need to try out. As far as the Nikko, do you have those on a jighead or what? What length/weight do you recommend? Thanks!
I was using a 1/8oz jig head I sell on my website. I was using a rooster tail but didn't get anything then tried the Craw and was hoping for smallies. I would have done better if I use the Craw the whole time probably. I actually have some Craw flies too. I always forget them. 😆
Wow ! That's some great looking rivers !
Yeah buddy. I'll be back and do a different section.
Great looking spots, The waters look amazing.
It was awesome and the water was freezing 😆
Wow awesome Larry !
Thanks Bill. It was a great weekend.
That's got to be one of the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen! Hard to believe that there aren't many smallmouth in it.
There's a ton. Just not there lol
