I went there when it opened and the fishing was very good for a while.
It got a lot of pressure back then and as usual for an MDC Lake it got fished out of decent fish.
Last time I went it was overrun with dinks.
Seems like MDC advertises these lakes and they get killed.
Not sure the internet is a good thing sometimes.
Plastic worms were the ticket.

I'd give him about a minute in North St Louis, less on the east side.
Gotta love Salesville.
The government center has a sign out front with a picture and address of a level 4 sex offender in town.

I'm in if the weather is decent.
I don't want to burn a vacation day if the temps are forecasted below freezing.
Those days are over for me.
I have the freedom to wait for the weather to cooperate.
I'm hoping my buddy will go too.
Pete
Great guide!
I book him a couple times a year when down on vacation and they are running water.
He has helped my wife and daughter catch dozens of trout per 4 hour trip.
The love it.
My daughter Sophie says "when you go with Brett, it's a catching trip, not a fishing trip"
Pete
Cool!
I spent a lot of time there in my late teens and early twenties which was in the early to mid 1980's.
As I recall the booze was flowing then too.
Thx Smallie.

My buddy lost his fly rod last weekend at Montauk.
I told him I would post on here and see if anyone found it.
Left it on the roof of car, drove off.

Selling my moms car, only 24000 miles.
White with tan leather, V6, auto, loaded.
Even has navigation system.
Too many options to list all of them.
Heated seats, power everything.
Still has new car smell.
Thanks, Pete.
Hard to plan a trip with a 4.5 hour drive for the water to run nearly round the clock.
We were down 3 weekends ago and they ran one unit the whole time for 5 days.
It's no wonder the fly shop went under.
Can't they run a couple units at night and off during the day instead 1 unit continuously?
Thanks for the opportunity to rant.
Pete
Hey guys
Trip is on. I'll be down Wednesday to Monday.
Probably take a side trip to Bull Shoals dam one day.
White Mercury Milan 2010, say hello if you see me.

I was down a few weeks ago and had a great time.
Can't wait till next week.
