redemtion on cr

i just got back today from kendall today. my dad, my 3 yr old son and i have been camped there for the last 4 days. maybe you saw us? tracker boat, gray colorado truck?

we floated from the dam down close to the arch several times a day. caught tons of trout (brown and rainbows-several in the 3-4 lb range), walleye (all non-keepers), white bass, sun fish and one 5lb cat right up on the wall on the generator side.

we tied up against the dam wall (lake side) tues night and fished for stripers under lights. we never could get the shad to come up and consequently did not catch a dern thing.

we were in a motor home with ac! thank god because the heat was unbearable at times. then, last night after the rain....we were all in fleece jackets on the river. the fog was so thick we had to yell to the bank fishermen to find the ramp (10 ft visibility...period)!

i can tent camp in the extreme cold anytime but you guys are far braver than i to face this heat in a tent

Did someone give your a ride up the boat ramp in the back of a pickup?

yep, and thanks again!

we paid it forward by bringing up the old man and his dog later on

I mentioned bringing a Yak. Is it possible that the water can be so swift that paddling back up stream could be difficult? If so how possible at this time of year? Just curious if anyone on here has done this. I was thinking of putting in around Kendall Campgound at the unimproved ramp and floating down a few miles.

Takeing my jon boat tomorrow. Like I say I'm down there every day working so Friday afternoon I'm putting boat in at dam. From what i saw current not flat don't think I would want to paddle back. Let u know what river like tomorrow nite when i get back whatever time that may be.
