Four of us will put in on the Brazos at the hwy 16 bridge below PK Dam on May 17 for a 3 day/2 night run to Rochelle’s at hwy 4 and the river. We invite others to join us about 11a.m. At the bridge. Hopefully, the river conditions will be hospitable

Our highlight of the trip was seeing a bald eagle. I had never seen one before in the wild. We saw plenty of duck and deer, and we were serenaded by owls and a few coyotes.

Had a great trip. We were the only yakkers on the stretch from Webberville, to hwy 969 bridge. There was plenty of flow and we made very few short drags.

The current flow is 335 cf/s. There are 3 of us putting in about noon tomorrow at Webberville, if anyone is interested,...

I like it out there. It brings back memories. One of the favorite things is seeing the stars at night. The viewing is much different from the suburbs

Thanks, Cook's is the one we are using.

A few of us are considering doing a trip on the Colorado next Friday, putting in at Weberville, and taking out hwy 969 bridge. The river at Bastrop, is showing 1860 cf/s. Help! Give us a little coaching, please. How is that volume of flow to navigate, how are the camping sites, and is 2 nights on th...

The weather forecast for Sat. has nixed another trip. Maybe next month.

There is a group of us doing a 3 day on the brazos, putting in fri morning at hwy 16 bridge, getting out at rochelle's on hwy 4. it is the same ole trip I have been doing lately as the colorado is too big and,hopefully, the pk dam will close the one gate that is currently open.

Earl, what have you planned for your next adventure? You seem to do more cool trips than any of us.

Rochelle's seems to be in the know well enough to not put kayakers in dangerous positions.

Rochelle's will also shuttle your vehicle downstream and let you paddle down do it for a single day trip. It is not in the canyons but should be fun.

I didn't answer your question about paddling upstream against 1700 cf/s. It would be very difficult. In fact, I don't think you could paddle up the rapid under the bridge. Maybe you could drag on the sides, but to go more than a mile would be too difficult. There was a 30 yr old man w/his young son ...

we did fish with no catches. There were quite a few fishermen on the river and I only know of one fish being caught. It was a young teenager and you could hear "I caught one!" for a long ways.

We put in about noon Friday. The river was high and quick. They told us it was to be about 1500 cf/s over the weekend. We had a fine time. Our three day trip turned into a two day trip. The speed of the river put us on a fast clock and it was difficult to find decent get out spots. I have done quite...

My son and I are putting in at hwy 16 on the Brazos Fri at noon. That is, if they close the flood gates at PK Lake. I spoke to Rochelle's today and they expect it to be closed tomorrow. As of now, the discharge is over 8000 cf/s.

How about the mighty Colorado? Do we need to reschedule?

Paul, I checked the FB site. Put in at FM973, take out at Lil Weberville Park

i am in

My son and I just returned from a 20 mile Brazos float below PK Dam. The trip was excellent. The flow was good and the wildlife were abundant.

Let's keep it in mind. Interest seems a little flat with others as well.

The Brazos is flowing 98 cf/s at Graford, below PK Dam and the Colorado is at 345 cf/s at Bastrop. It's time to get a trip together, maybe for the third or fourth week of March. River Dawgs need to respond.

Is the Colorado ok for a float trip in the Bastrop area?

The USGS Texas Streamflow site has some shocking flow rates. The Colorado River at LaGrange, is at 83,400 cf/s and the Brazos has rates in excess of 60,000 cf/s. The flow rates earlier in the weekend were little, if any. I suppose this was due to the backup of flow from the ocean surge. It finally c...

That is a cool camping spot. I like being by the dam.
