Has anybody fished the Big River around St. Francois park? I was thinking of putting a canoe in at one end of the park and taking out at the other end. I will drive past it every day on my way to and from work and it seems like it could be a good evening fishing spot when it gets warmer...if there are fish

I don't know anything about fish stocking. So my question is: why is stocking smallmouth harmful? Thanks

What type of fly did he catch it on?

Looks like a pacu to me. Google "pacu teeth" and see if they look like the fish's. I hope you didn't release it. I would be so excited to reel one in though
