Barges! It's a staging area for the lock so it was very turbulent. Did catch a trophy size wiper for the river. It was bursting with eggs Water was 59 degrees.
Sounds phenomenal! I'm gonna hit the Mississippi in the morn and try for walleye whites hybrids. I'm hearing rumors and seeing pictures so I gotta go see for myself I know there is some good fish swimming up the meramec out of the Mississippi but the flow is too much for my liking.
I personally don't like how they curl back with their open mouths full of teeth I don't believe there is a confirmed death by lamprey but I consider them a threat to life and limb.
