we used to canoe and camp the buffalo caught many good small mouth. have not been in years .used to have outfitters that rented canoes and did drop off and pick up. bring a real good sleeping pad or a hammock. The so called sand bars you camp on are rocks the size of base balls. Do some research on the ponca to pruit area.

Made a 2 night trip on the Buffalo river about 25 years ago. There are campground along the river to stay at.
I don't remember exactly what part of the river we were on. But I did do a little fishing along the way. The best area was right where the Boy Scout camp is located. I caught 5 or 6 small mouths as we drifted the area maybe 100 yards long. I really wish I could had stopped there for a little longer. |

Haven't been on a float trip, but the Buffalo is beautiful around Ponca. Tent camped at Lost Valley campgrounds a few summers back for some hiking and sightseeing. Pretty sure there are a few outfits that area offer drop off/pick up for rentals or if you bring your own yak/canoe.

Pretty cool being able to see elk every evening along the river too.

Buffalo is much more scenic, but Caddo River is a little closer and its full of smallmouth as well. We canoe it every year and bring ultralights for smallmouth. The canoe companies on both rivers will drop you off upstream and pick you up. You can go a little further north and do the Buffalo for smallmouth and the White/Norfork Rivers for trout also.

Thanks for everyone's input. We ended up deciding on Kings River.
