Me and two buddies left saint louis it was 9 degrees. We arrived at baptist access it was 5 degrees. I waded upstream just fishing a white roster tail and caught four fish total, missed two others. I caught two browns back to back both were 18-20 inches. I also caught a 14 inch rainbow. I fished from 7:30 till 1:30. My eyelets and the bail on my reel kept freezing. I saw 11 deer and had the time of my life. It was tough fishing though. Best of all, there are two nice browns released back into the river to get bigger. I pulled out my fly rod and tried a prince nymph for awhile, but i am a rank amateur and hung it in a limb, my hands were too cold to tie a tiny fly on so I left. What a great day, and we didn't see another soul. Does anyone know if hunting is legal on the land surrounding baptist access? Thanks alot....Bruce
