Catman, no doubt that some poaching occurs on the Current, but most of those bait jars probably came out of the park. I participated in a stream team cleanup betweem the Montauk and Baptist Camp a few years ago, and most of the trash we found was between the Park Campground & Tan Vat, we hardly found any trash between Tan Vat & Baptist. Cheers.

There are many productive waters. The Meramec & Gasconade drainages are my favs, but I'm not gonna tell you were my favorite stretches are. Smallies are slow growing (12" fish is usually 5 years old) and they arent stocked like trout. If you find a good stretch of water, especially a wadeable creek, please keep it to yourself. Smallie regs are pretty liberal (6 fish over 12" in most places) and you dont want your favorite stretch ruined by meat hogs. Cheers.

The Current comes up pretty quick then drops off fast. Its been bony low for the last 3-4 months (1-1.2 at Akers). That little bump on the graph could only improve the fishing. I find that the wade fishing is comfortable for me above Ashley Creek if the guage at Akers is below 3.0, but wading below Ashley can be a little chalenging. Highest I ever had good fishing was around 4.25 at Akers. A canoe was essential to get from spot to spot and the fly bite was tough, however, the fish were taking crankbaits consistently. Cheers.
