Hookem trout

Thanks again for all of the good tips. It sounds like everyone has had good luck and bad which can come and go when your fishing. I think that this trip is going to be great and the advise given is very helpful.

Thanks a lot fellow anglers i appreciate the advice and tips. I have heard that the trophy area from Baptist down is awesome. I have never caught a brown trout before and am very excited to get the chance to. Is there a different setup that is used for browns usually? I fish with 4 to 6 lb line and i am not sure that will be enough. Any suggestions there? Thanks again!

Hi all! Some buddies and I do a weekday float every year (last year was 32 miles on the 11 point which was a blast) and we have decided to try the current from Baptist to Pulltite. We are floating over the course of 3-4 days to go slow and get as much fishing in as possible. We are heading out in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if any of you have any good advise on good spots to camp (while on the water and away from the designated camping spots) and fishing or anything to just look out for? We all are new to this part of the river and all love to fish for trout and small mouth (we all use spinning reels btw). I have talked to MDC, Montauk, Scenic riverways, and the rangers, which were all really nice down there in the area, to make sure that we are all good on the rules and regulations for camping and fishing. Thanks for reading, Andrew

Brian, I did not know that you would move cars. That is great because we do a guys float every year in Aug., but it just happens that this year we have to take two cars because we have six of us going. Oh, by the way we met this year while I was in forestry camp in Wappapello, MO. We used your canoe rental twice while we were down there and it was a great experience and will be done again. Thanks, Andrew
