Anyone fish the south fork of the ninnescah this year

[perfpersonified]

A buddy of mine and I fish Kingman Co lake and the river behind it about 3 times a month. Haven't had any luck this year in the river, but last year it was great, several flatheads, and lots of channel all summer. Anyway, just thought I would see if anyone had an insight on that part of the state's cats yet


thanks

Thanks for the update. I drive over the Ninnescah 2 or 3 times a year when driving to the inlaws. It's such a pretty river. I would love to wade fish it sometime but, since a friend moved from Kingman to Goddard don't stop in Kingman anymore. I didn't think there would be any flats in there, thought there was maybe channels and alot of sunfish.

About 70 yrs. ago some friends & I used to fish the Ninnescah river at the Belle Plain corner north of the bridge thats there now, we fished at the old bridge which is about a mile north of the bridge that is there now. ther was a great watermelon patch south of the highway & we would have some watermelon while we fished. I also fisher it north of Oxford Ks. where it emtyed into the Arkansas river it was good fishing there too.

Where is the lake exactly?

Several local fishermen have been catching channels from 1 lb to 8 lbs regularly just east of the Kingman city park. Also one fellow has caught flatheads up to 18 lbs in the same area within the past week.
