Trout at Lake 28 today
Trout Man replied to snagged in outlet 3's topic in August A. Busch Conservation Area
I'm gonna say it. The urban trout program is a joke and MDC should end it. Terrible waste of resources. -
tjm-Don't over think it. Very simple. Stock trout, catch fish more than one time, and have a nice fishery available for 4 or 5 miles on the Niangua.

Totally agree with the Niangua management comment. The river appears to be full of life, crawdads, minnows, insects etc. Rather than dump 500 (or whatever the number is) fish in it periodically to be wiped out after a week why not try some type of delayed harvest? Let the fish grow a bit and have better fishing (this doesn't mean stop stocking it periodically throughout the year). Lot of factors in play but our trout fishing in Missouri "in general" seems to have taken a nose dive in the last 10 years and not much is happening to change it.

Have fished the crash. Smallies rounding up bait, it is crazy fun. The fish on average were a little smaller than you might catch on some WI rivers further north but the super aggressive feeding made up the size difference. Would recommend a trip!

I'll bite. I really can't believe stream small mouth aren't catch and release. Come on Missouri!

The Meramec Red Ribbon Trout Doesn't Have To Suck!
Trout Man replied to Ted Calcaterra's topic in Meramec River
Great topic. Good fishing on the Meramec in the 80's and 90's the decline is really sad. I wonder if the current MDC individual in charge of the fishery actually fishes it? I know Spence Turner did.
