Launched the kayak from the Lone Star Ramp near HWY 259. There we’re several boat trailers in the parking lot. I paddled north towards the HWY bridge. Get it wrong and you’ll be in 12” of water. Follow the Big Cypress Bayou channel for best results. Caught a nice little bass off a lay down in the channel south of the bridge. Tried some vertical jigging for crappie off a brush pile in the channel and caught a nice 14” white bass followed by another one on the rattle trap. My expectations were low for this trip because there were five power boats in the area. My main point in posting this report was to share what I learned. There is a concrete low water bridge or dam upstream from the HWY 259 bridge. If you plan to take this route, know that a portage will be required to continue upstream.

Awesome, thanks for this. Is that low water bridge located at the end of where you traveled or did you pass it? Just trying to figure out where on your map its at.

I’ve been at that 259 ramp but never taken a kayak out there, do you ever encounter any strong currents in those channels?

They are suppose to be replacing the hwy 155 bridge soon, I wonder if they’ll shut off boat traffic through there which could limit the amount of boats in that area unless folks launch at 259 and don’t care to go to the main lake.

I did not continue past the low water bridge. The low water bridge is located at the north end of my redline track shown in the screen shot pic. There are also places to launch into Big Cypress Bayou upstream of the low water bridge, You can expect to encounter some trees blocking the channel further upstream.

I did not experience any strong currents but I'm sure after a big rain the flow rate can increase dramatically.

If I go back to this area I think I will launch above the low water bridge or south of the Lone Star ramp so I have a better chance of fishing away from power boat traffic,

Appreciate the info. We have property in Lone Star and have been thinking of hitting LoP in our Yaks. Had done some Google maps recon and was thinking of hitting this area for the White Bass run. Your pics are very helpful. Any idea if the White Bass can get above the low water bridge?
