I don't know what "bridge hop" is? But I did float in one of my kayaks. Yes it was tough fishing.
I have been to the little niangua three times this year. All have been after labor day. I can tell
you that the river needs to be at 4.1 feet at the USGS river gage at Macks Creek. If lower I think the oxygen level drops. Above 5.0 the river becomes turbid.

I met a bunch of guys over the weekend on the Little Niangua river. They turned me on to this website. I'm trying to get ahold of one of the guys that goes by "Chief Gray Bear". It was a great trip even though I didn't catch any smallmouths worth talking about.
