Salt Water Fly Tier

Thanks for the leads. I also heard about the "T" (or possibly "Tea") conservation access on the Bourbeuse river. Anyone have any experiences - positive or negative to share on that one? I am going to try and hit that one on 6/26 assuming water level cooperate, and will post my results here. Thanks, Jeff

Sorry, looking for small wadable streams. Catch and release only. Size of the fish and species less important than quantity and prettiness of stream, and close proximity (so I can fish in a morning or afternoon, and dont need a whole day for the added travel). Love to catch goggle eye and pumpkinseed as well as smallies. Last time I went to Labarque about 3 years ago the stream had multiple beaver dams in it and was flooded back into the woods, so not easily fished or waded. Was curious if was still in that state, also are the streams in Castlewood Park (besides the Meramec) fishable? Thanks in advance.

Hi, new to the forum and happy to find it. I work and live in St Louis, and have 2 young kids so the times I get to go fishing in the Ozarks are few and far between. Looking for more info on Smallmouth bass trips close to St Louis. I fished LaBarque creek pretty heavily about 10 years ago, and Crooked Creek (in Cherryville) before that. Looking for similar small creek or small stream opportunities, the closer the better. Thanks and tight lines, Jeff
