I grew up fishing that stretch of Mt Fork River before the Dam was ever built, and lived at Eagletown only a few miles to the east, it was always good fishing, I have floated it also, a few spots can be a bit exciting! enjoyed the video! We camped there several times each summer.
@@CreekFishingAdventures you were using some shots that I have been seeing on UA-cam that I want to try when my drone gets here. Maybe if I can start catching more fish I can start posting my own videos and use some drone footage. Surely the FAA won't get all bothered by drone footage on a channel with nearly two subs.
Received on March 1. Snowing very hard with wind. It is really a nice looing kayak. Wish this weather would come around to warmness so we can try it out.
This reminds me of canoeing with my wife for the first time in an aluminum canoe on the Delaware River . She sat in front and I told her her main job was to watch out for rocks .So we start off and in about a minute there's a CRUNCH and she says ," there's one " a few seconds later another CRUNCH and she says " there's another one ".. and that's how the whole trip went .
I have a little farm about 45 mins east of Broken Bow. Love fishing there. There are a couple other rivers close by there where you can slay smallmouth but you need to use a float tube.
You played that last Class 2 well..ported arond. That river situation is almost identical to the Coosa River below Jordan dam here in Alabama. Eight miles called Wetumpka. No trout or Smallies, but 3-5 lb Coosa Spots lay in there.
You are on the Mtn Fork River down below Broken Bow Lake. It is a great fishing lake, but I have never fished in the river there. However, I used live in Tulsa and every single year, I would take a weeks vacation and fish the Mtn Fork at Smithville, Oklahoma, about 40 miles north of Broken Bow and believe me, there are gobs of Smallmouth bass in the river up there. I used to go fish out of my inner tube, before there were kayaks and just catch the devil out of those small mouth.
Looks like you were navigating more than fishing , yea you’ll settle in to some fishing now that the rough stuff is mostly behind you . Is that your drone ?
catching up on videos now that you're showing back up on my feed. you disappeared for awhile. don't know what happened. but I'm enjoying the videos. will be purchasing a hat too.
Some fishing and some white water action. You ran into some rough rapids. Glad you wear your life jacket. You should carry a patch kit like flex seal for a gash.
Mr creek fishing adventures . I miss your little bluegill short video intro ; if you want to replace it with a different one ok ,but I think it was a good intro! It was fun to watch ,and it gave you a peaceful easy feeling,so ; it would be exciting to replace it. ,but I wouldn’t abandon it.
I can't believe you all stayed up and didn't lose any equipment. I would have never been able to keep my Jackson Bite right side up in those rapids, no way. Love the drone footage.
A buddy and I are planning a big float on Lower Mountain Fork this spring! Native Okie here, if you ever need one to join out kayak fishing here in the Sooner state, John. Big fan of the channel!
Sure enjoyed this video, looks pretty dangerous especially for someone by themselves, just wondering how do you get back to your truck or where you put in at? Also wondering how many snakes have you come across on your adventures?
Yeehaw!!! LOL Can’t believe you took on Mountain Fork in a kayak! Wish I had known you were in Oklahoma. Love your channel and your witness. All the best to you!
This channel has helped me through some tough times. Anytime I need to be centered I start watching this channel. I'm a native of Clevegas and love to see some familiar sights. John sets a good example as what a good Tennessee Christian friend is supposed to be. Thanks for the content.
Wow, this brings back memories...a long time ago, when I was in the Air Force and stationed in OKC, my wife and I would go there and camp and fish. It's a neat place - a sort of mountain stream with cypress trees. Tick capital of the world. Sadly, my wife is a memory too - she died unexpectedly at 38, so this video is a bit bittersweet.
@@mrs.vasquezz thanks...from our human perspective, yes, too young. However, it's different from God's perspective. I never got angry with God over her death, although I still don't completely understand why she had to go so young. I consider myself lucky to have had 14 years with her; the people who really got shorted were my kids, all girls, who didn't have that female influence growing up - I was a poor substitute in that regard.
Only three species of bass largemouth, spotted, bass smallmouth, and sometimes there has mean mouth . If there I was even with their Gil plate, that’s a small mouth or Spotted . The last mean mouth you caught was a small mouth
Um ,is that Oklahoma we’re the wind comes sweeping down the plain? I’m sorry ,I had to ; I’m a dad. Did you ever watch that movie ? That’s a line from a song in that movie.
What kind of fishing glasses do you use? I know polarized glasses are expensive and I want to get some good ones if I’m gonna drop a pretty penny on them you know
Great video. I kayak fish with my brother often in lakes. After watching this I will definitely be on the lookout for some rivers to fish in (maybe not with white water on the first go)!
Man!!! I use to fish this river all the time when I was in high school! We would always flip on that last drop off. Caught some decent smallmouth out of there, but it's better above the lake.
This video reminds me of the time my wife and I floated down the Ocmulgee. I was fishing for shoalies. We had a great, fun day until the last set of shoals. Those were pretty well brutal, and some land wonders saw us struggling and invited us to their bank. Good memory!
Wow some of those rapids were sketchy. I caught myself wincing whenever you hit a boulder.. Great river, good fishing with plenty of variety. Just awesome brother, way to salvage the trip. Well done Patrick and John. Blessings brother
The Choctaw named that river... Two Choctaw hunters were in a Dugout canoe floating the river, when they hit the Rapids and the canoe turned over throwing the hunters in the water and one of the hunters broke his bow, that's why they call it broken bow. Not really, but it sounds good. LOL
That is for sure but after the first set of rapids we were pretty much committed! Neither John or I had any idea that the river would be that hairy to get through. After the fist couple of rapids we both were like what did we get into here! It was an adventure for sure.
We originally were planning to fish the Upper Ouachita River in Arkansas but the rain raised the river by 5 feet the day before we were supposed to go so we wanted to try up in Northwest Arkansas, close to the Buffalo River area, at the Kings River or Crooked Creek but they were both in the same shape. Mountain Fork was a good option with all the rain because it’s water flow is regulated by the dam but we had no idea of the gauntlet we would be going through on that trip! It was an adventure for sure but probably won’t do the upper part in a fishing kayak again.
@@PatrickMarbury okay @patrick well maybe next time you guys can come fish the smallmouth streams in Arkansas and here is a list of good ones for smallmouth bass, the mulberry river is a good one for smallmouth, the buffalo national River is a good one and the Ouachita River
Those are definitely great rivers that I love to fish! I actually live in Northwest Arkansas and am blessed to have all of those within driving distance. If you haven’t fished Crooked Creek it is worth the drive as well.
I fish in little creeks and ponds and the mulberry river, and shores lake have you ever heard of shores lake well there is a creek below it called hurricane Creek and it's full of smallmouth bass and it is a good one too , I have fished my whole life
@@LeviW133 I have stopped by Hurricane Creek but was short on time and not able to find a good access point. I need to make another trip there again and see what I can find. I have a few new prototype lures that would work well there I am sure. I tested some of them on Clear Creek by Chester not far from Hurricane Creek last week with a lot of success.
Thanks for Sharing your trip John! Nice 👍 Rainbow 🌈 Trout. 🎣

Very cool!
Wow what a fantastic crazy river with all those trees growing center stream!
Rebel Craw is timeless
They've been around, since even I was, like, a teenager. Great lures!
I love Beavers Bend!!
You have to admit that was fun!!
Broken bow was named after Broken bow ,Nebraska. Dierks family named the town after their home town! They started the Dierks Lumber Co.
Oh my word that’s an awesome looking river! Now THATS an ADVENTURE I live it
Nice largemouth buddy 👍
Looks amazing
You have been watching some drone tutorials.
No but I probably should now that I have one
@@CreekFishingAdventures you were using some shots that I have been seeing on UA-cam that I want to try when my drone gets here.

kayakin' 101
Presbyterian Falls for sure. Highway 70

Caution, the scammers are out
Nice 😄
I caught a 5 1/4 smallmouth close to that bridge an a 4lb spot last month
wow thats awesome
Thanks for your videos. I love your channel especially when you make it to Oklahoma to show me what I haven't seen or can get to.
i like the drone footage.
Good video, congrats on the bikes
I have a little farm about 45 mins east of Broken Bow. Love fishing there. There are a couple other rivers close by there where you can slay smallmouth but you need to use a float tube.
I fly fished there for trout around 2016ish. The Grateful Head Pizza was pretty good.

Nice multi species video you were floating down some treacherous water but you got threw it you caught some nice bass

Glad you wear your life jacket. You should carry a patch kit like flex seal for a gash.
Yeah that would have been a big problem if it was just a small hole in the bottom. I need to get a patch kit
@@CreekFishingAdventures I am going to test those insect glue boards for a patch.
You picked a good one in BB! You just gained a subscriber my man
Great Video . Looked a little ruff for this old man .

I forget to add it sometimes
Been keeping my eye on you and that bubble gum yellow swirl yum dinger! Just ordered a pack! Lololol got high hopes!
@12:45 😬
Sketch city. Nice work getting through John. 30+ minutes. I’m liking the longer format entries.
Fish in those rapids man that’s where the smallmouth and trout hang out in! Anywhere you see water moving cast in it
That river and its topography looks other worldly
Great video John. Thanks!

see a snake every once in a while
I haven't floated down lmf in so long now 😫
Creeks and Rivers man, love em!
The River above the Lake is better for small mouth give that a try sometimes
Now you just need to hit some dams in N.E. Oklahoma and get some big o' catfish and snag for spoonbill.
Yeehaw!!! LOL Can’t believe you took on Mountain Fork in a kayak! Wish I had known you were in Oklahoma. Love your channel and your witness. All the best to you!
You do know we have gators in SE Okla? 🤣 🐊 No joke!
I won’t be kayaking that again. Haha. Maybe the lower part
Good deal! You we kind of like you? We’d like to see you stick around, to fish another day! 🤣😂🤣👍🏼
Like the upper James in Virginia
Epic

You sound like a thoughtful, loving man. I'll bet your daughters love you 100%, and know you gave them all.
Did you get an anchor of some kind yet?
I did get one now need to hook it ip
Was the bass at 18:45 a shoal bass maybe?
Shoalies are essentially a Georgia species now.
It. Definitely looked different
Those are Spotted Sunfish.
That looked like FUN.....
My favorite kind of content...river fishing out the yak! Get it!!!

I can’t say Oklahoma without thinking of the movie
"Those boulders are so much bolder..." 🤣
They were very bold
What kind of fishing glasses do you use? I know polarized glasses are expensive and I want to get some good ones if I’m gonna drop a pretty penny on them you know
Scenery looked amazing there
Awesome looking rainbow trout there 😎 👌
I can't find "RUST VEGAS" Yum Dingers anywhere on the internet. Where in the heck did u get those?
RUSSVEGAS
What river in Oklahoma is that? Please advise an approximate location. It might be worth a drive. Thanks
Mountain Fork below Broken Bow Lake in Oklahoma. Absolutely beautiful area and River but wasn’t great for fishing kayaks like we were in.
That river looks amazing
I'm glad you finally made to Broken Bow to fish. Next time try kayaking Mt Fork River. I live within walking distance. Love it!!
Cool river. But loaded with fish. Thank you for sharing and have a safe time traveling. God bless you and your family.....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
At this point you are walking distance where I live. Enjoy?
Nice fish! Beautiful river! Always remember, you can’t go wrong when you go right! lol
That looks crazy beautiful ; kinda other worldly . Hmm
That sure is some beautiful country with some great looking fish.
Love the drone shots John! Keep them coming!
1 of my favorite fishing shows
Ive lived in OK all my life and never been down to the broken bow area. Definitely made me want to go check it out
"Left or right? I can't decide..." Choose and commit...every dead squirrel you see in the road couldn't decide, either! Stay safe!
i'm in Tulsa, next trip drop thru we'll shoot some hoops i'm 6'10 so bring your A Game! and we can go fishing
Great video. I kayak fish with my brother often in lakes. After watching this I will definitely be on the lookout for some rivers to fish in (maybe not with white water on the first go)!

When I’m kayaking and a rock gets me out of nowhere… I call that a ninja rock. You dont see it till you’re on top of it.
Awesome video and awesome fish for sure. Great job man!
Showing my home state some love. Broken bow is definitely one of the prettiest parts of Oklahoma. Great video
It's fun watching you run rapids
that was nail biting John my goodness i love kayaking the Delaware River by me in NJ
What an awesome place! Just bought my first yak. I think ill start in non-moving water.
The Choctaw named that river... Two Choctaw hunters were in a Dugout canoe floating the river, when they hit the Rapids and the canoe turned over throwing the hunters in the water and one of the hunters broke his bow, that's why they call it broken bow. Not really, but it sounds good. LOL
You sounded so convincing I believed you 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well-played sir. Well-played.
Sounds legit
Looks amazing would love to fish it I would have to pull up to some of the rocks in the middle of the chutes were there was some deep holes and try!
Beautiful River!
Crazy river. Glad you guys made it out.
Yippee !! White water 'yaking and fishin' . Great video .
That doesn't look like a river, it looks like a flooded hiking path, lol
That Pa isn’t a good kayak for that type of water for sure. Brave man.
That is for sure but after the first set of rapids we were pretty much committed! Neither John or I had any idea that the river would be that hairy to get through. After the fist couple of rapids we both were like what did we get into here! It was an adventure for sure.
I think 🤔 I'm gonna' have to pick up some Rebel Craw! 🦐 I think you should invest in a helmet!
Letz GooooO!! Nikko💪🏻🔥
Nice video mister John love your videos keep up the good work, you should come fishing for smallmouth bass in Arkansas in the buffalo national River

Great, Adventure John 👍
“….the wind goes rushing down the plain.” Anyway, cool float and handsome, healthy fish. Definitely not a river for Tennessee River, Justin.
