I fished it alot when i was younger. Better fishing on the upper end. We used craw cranks,small silver grubs,jig and frogs. We caught plenty of smallies,nothing giant but tons of fun. We would jump from rock to rock, wouldnt dare try that now. Wear good tennies and stay out of the moss if you can. Like they said, wait for some rain then go!!!! Be prepared its a long way back to the car. Food, phone, first aid, etc. Post your results, would love to hear. Would drive from stl down there all the time. Solitude city!!!!! Bring camera.
