Looking to go to the Brazos this weekend near PK and wanted to know the best place we should launch from. Thanks!!

If you're really a greenie, go put in at Rochelles, walk up the small section of current thru the bridge and work up stream: there'll lots of room, safe parking, lots of folks and a good long stretch of flat water. Unless you have beach experience be careful driving up near the bridge in that gravel, it gets soft and deep. They'll charge a fee, but they maintain a proper enough boat ramp, and have a room with a door so's the decent among you can pee civilized.

The rustic bridge put in a mile below the dam has more moving water, and the bank is slightly eroded and difficult and the trout guys, all gathered in there thick, will stare at you. But/and you could probably collect a lot of aluminum, to recycle, beer can colored aluminum.

Thanks for the info... how is the water level right now?

The gauge at Hwy 16 is reporting 22cfs (very low), but Rochelle's is reporting 53cfs (below average) at this moment.

Low. Very low...... But that's what yaks r for!!! Yeppy

Yup Yakit,

you see, the Lord loves a working man, and me, I like a low Brazos...

was at hwy 16 last week end and the water is very low but there were several guy on kayaks. they didnt seem to be having any problems going up river or down

20 CFS at the Hwy 16 bridge is easily yakible, assuming you think kayak fishing is easy. Lot's of fishy spots up and down river from the bridge, and I love launching from there (even at 20 CFS).

I have never put in at Rochelle's but have heard there's good fishing down there too. So it looks like you have options.

With Rochelles closed for the season is there still parking available around the launch site near the Hwy 4 bridge?

Amen brotha

Thanks to everyone for the tips! We had a great 1st adventure on the Brazos. I will be posting story and pics shortly.
