Hi all, my wife and I live in KC and want to spend a weekend trout fishing for our upcoming anniversary in May. We've never fished for trout before, but I've read about Bennett Springs, Roaring River and Meramec. I'm unsure where to start and I'm hoping to get some recommendations from the folks on this forum:
Which park (or other location) would provide an easy starting point for two beginners?
Do you have any recommendations for hotels/air bnbs?
What gear should we be taking?
We have a 5' and a 6'6 UL rod - what lures should we be using?
Thanks for any advice you can provide!
