Once it warms up, get a bro, put two kayaks in a truck, drive up to Clinton, drop off a truck at Comite river crossing of Plank Road, turn left in Clinton and launch on Hwy 10, paddle to the other truck. Lots of fishing in between.

Was this after a rain? I've thought about doing this a few times (growing up about a mile from the Comite in Ethel), but it always seemed to be really low water. Seems like you'd have to get out of the yak and walk a bit. Let me know, I'd love to do it in the future, but don't want to get stuck out there!

Best kayaking map in Baton Rouge. It lists all the waterways and places to launch. Thes guys have done a great job clearing many of the waterways inside the city limits.

I grew up in Baker. Made that float many a time, along with the leg btw Plank and Pride-Port Hudson Rd, and on down to Deerford. Really a nice float. Certainly a few pull overs, log jams, snags, but great fishing and no humanity. I'd wait til it warms up a bit, maybe March. Beetle spins, crawfish lures, ultralight tackle. We always did it in a two man canoe.
