Raise your hands and dance. In a couple years they will be worth the trouble.
I tried to look it up on line. It appears the Meramec has a natural spawn, and I found this at a web site called family outdoors:

Males are somewhat still on beds, guarding fry, In my opinion, it’s a great spawn.  Had a huge blow up on a buzz bait today in shallow riffle. Followed it up with 3.5” swimmer and connected on this girl. 20” long and 4.4 lbs.  

Anyone else catching walleye?  I have been catching a ton of little guys and an occasional beast .

All Spots.  And very good eating size !

Find current that’s too violent to safely fish. In specific weather conditions and or times of the day, the walleye will be there feeding.  1’to 10’ water, depends on conditions.  

@Hog Wally is a good dude!  Helped me too.  But I’ve never been in a river pro.  See lots of them though.  

Nice boat and fish. Also nice that someone is running around the Meramec in a RiverPro now that Hogwally is slacking off running around the country for HD Tackle.
I definitely miss running the river and fishing the Meramec in the fall.

Tournament fishing is best left to the lakes. Rivers are not well suited for it.

I can only speak of the Invitational and I've been hit or miss for the past 10 or so years so I cannot speak for every tournament.  But I can tell you this, when cwc87 was helping run the weigh ins NOT ONE spotted bass brought to the scales was returned to the river.  I've always respected him for that.
