are you talking about above the darn in noel? i dont think there is a cut off date it is public water should be year round keep an eye up river for the stampede of canoes and rafts

i am very lucky to know both of the guys that own the "motherships" (white pontoon boat called "the office") also brown one (walleye winnabago) i have been lucky enough to catch fish off both of them you can fish off these boats in extreme cold weather , go inside warm up, cook up some soup and sandwiches get some coffee brewing, thaw you toes and fingers and get back after them fish were caught on live bait jigs and carolina rigs you have to be very patient and pay your dues i have been there many a time and not gotten a bite said that this fishing is stupid, but caught a 26 incher last year up river from the beaver town bridge thanks for the nice comments keep floating Russ

here is a few from last week big fish 33 inches took pic and let her go me and momma tore them up keep floating Russ

the river is up for a change big sugar and little sugar have nice flows fishing the elk is still a little slow water is crystal clear and it is easy to spook fish they havent seen the idiot parade in several months we floated twice recently and caught a few a few warm nights and this river will be full on will start audio reports soon as fish start biting keep floating Russ p.s. check out the pis from last weeks trip to beavertown/white river me and momma caught 13 keepers in 3 days big female was 33 inches took the pic and let her go

we can give you a shuttle call 417-223-2369 when you getting in town? Russ

phil, you gave me a bunch of green jig heads with different color feathers on the bottom like white or tan they were sweet , i have several left and the next time i get near your place i coming over there for some more there was three guys that were camping as i was floating on by, and they asked if i had any trout and we had plenty so i paddled over to them and gave them three trout and there was randy (they had named him) , so the next day when those guys floated by us they told us that randy was following them and shure enough the next thing we know he is on our campsite and then he followed us down river for a mile or so

this years trip was awesome weather perfect, fish biting and great company the only thing that went wrong was someone stole one of our canoes yes one of our group left his canoe by the ramp and we were camping at greer woke up the next morning and it was gone someone stole a green We NoN Nah and a Hog Heaven kayak paddle the boat was a personal with little or no markings the paddle was painted with HH on the blades if any one see's this combo they are in possesion of stolen goods and should be reported, i dont care if they bought it from the crack head that stole it. thats enough for that Lesson Learned DO NOT LEAVE YOUR STUFF ANY WHERE UNNATENDED, THE THIEF WILL GET IT here is the fishing goods above greer i caught a dozen goggles and half dozen smallies on a green tube below greer we caught them on green flies that Phil Lilley gave me a couple years ago (thanks again Phil , those babies work) we also caught them on dons flies, joes flies below turner we caught them on minnows below whitten we caught smallies on punkinseed tubes we met a young buck named randy and he hung out at our campsite and followed us down river check him out on youtube enjoy pics keep floating russ
