    I had a similar experience with an older gentlemen who lived at Tucker Shoal on White River. We would run across each other a couple of times a year, enough to know each other but not quite on a first name basis. This went on for about ten years, great guy who loved the river and fished almost daily. The last time we chatted he could no longer wade and had to be content sitting in his folding chair. The next year his house was dark and a for sale sign faced the river. I always thought, hoped a could spend my last years doing as well.

    Is the ramp still under the interstate bridge? It's been years but last time I launched the ramp was a mess and I backed in on the bank next to it.

    Good story. Yep of you give people the benefit of the doubt more times than not you are rewarded.

    Thanks for the report. I good example of quality fishing right under the nose of the clueless masses.

    Contrary to the image lady Justice is not blind, she has one eye open and her hand out.

    My buddies and I fished minimum flow out of Buffalo City yesterday. Was great for wading and not all bad for boating. Getting up buffalo shoal wasn't too bad but as usual the mile or two of ledge rock above are a bear. If you don't mind picking your way through the boulders slow enough that you'll slide over without too much damage you will have some darn fine wading water and the scenery is second to none. You might even find some fish that have fins and color. Good luck.

    Tried that, didn't work. I don't why grounds keepers or us golfers tolerate the nasty things crapping all over. Seems to me a couple of energetic dogs taken for an 18 hole walk every day would give them no peace.

    Slurp, bug gone.

    I have been wearing the Simms gloves for about a year. The bulk isn't too bad and a hand warmer pouch helps. I have a cheep pair of neoprene glove for running the boat. Terribly uncomfortable but warm as can be. I won't wear either unless I absolutely have to.

    You will be fine as long as you go slow. When the flows pick up in the spring you will be able to run up and down the river like you own the place. If you fish it regularly through spring and onto early summer you'll learn what you can get away with as the water drops out. Once your into low water season it's not that difficult to get out and drag up a few riffles to give you access to the many large pools. Pack a couple of extra shear pins.

    Yes, the whole affair stinks. A state perk that we shouldn't be proud of.

    Look out bream, you don't stand a chance.

    Welcome, The Missouri is almost in my back yard. I regret that I have only been on it once. Even in St Charles County is was wonderfully peaceful and we caught fish. It wouldn't take much inspiration to get me out there again.

    1. Olive, olive 2. Olive, black Hackle tied sparse and thin bodied. Every bugger I have ever seen had way too much hackle and way too thick a body.

    Yep, manufactured fish.

    I agree, I started coming to these rivers for the party in the 70's and I returned for the natural beauty. Now both rivers are far from my top Ozark preferences when I seek beauty and solitude. When management agencies give three choices for the level of protection more often than not the status quo prevails. I have little hope things will improve and these wonderful rivers will remain something that I can only tolerate occasionally.

    Great report.
  19. Greasy B
    It will, those who follow the idiot pop culture have short attention spans.

    Where they live has a lot to do with it.

    3, and a pole barn.

    Looks like the rain is giving the river a nice bump. Some SWM rivers got more than a bump though, be careful.

    Thanks, I didn't want to be the first to say it. A fish n ski is a ski boat. I true bass boat is a thing of beauty, form follows function. They way I see it you might as well fish out of a mini van as a fish n ski.

    The last picture looks surreal.

    Your right, I broke the prop within 10 minutes when I first rented a river boat. With the help of a jet and years of observing how and where others run their boats I haven't had any permanent damage since. Of course a big dose of dumb luck helped.
