I have to agree that montauk is the best park to trout fish in MO, although i haven't fished at meremac. but, it is beautiful and the fishing is absolutely wonderful. i am sending my boys (18, 12, and 41) down next week for spring break. (my husband has actually graduated, but he has voluunteered to take the boys on spring break). anyway, we are trying to get all the fishing supplies together and am trying to find fishing reports and water levels(high, fast, ect). my 12 y/o is 5 feet tall and weighs about a pound and i don't want him to get swept away. they will fish some in the c&r area and some outside the park, baptist mostly. any suggestions for keeping a 12y/o into an occasional fish would be appreciated. he has a 7" 4wt fly rod, and a spinning rod. and, if you see them down there, say hi--dad and 2 boys.
