ozark trout fisher

Really appreciate the suggestions, I remember to keep the Eleven Point in mind. The idea of having the chance to catch some of it's wild fish sounds good anyway. By the way, I don't really mind whether the restrictions prevent me from keeping fish. I mostly catch and release anyways. Thanks again.

I'm planning a float fishing trip for trout somewhere in the Missouri Ozarks. Could be anywhere from May to July. I would prefer to spin fish, but also fly fish. Basically, I just need to know which rivers have the best populations of trout, best floating, and which streams produce throughout the summer. I would also really appreciate learning what access points to use. Thanks a lot for any help I can get. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the help Would have replied sooner, but I didn't have much time to get on the computer in the last couple days. Really appreciate it.

I fished the Bourbeuse about two weeks ago (near Union) when the temp was in the low 40s, and was trying to catch some bluegill on nightcrawlers ( I didn't think bass would be biting this late in the year) and was surprised to catch a spotted bass. I was just curious if the bass fishing remained good in throughout the winter in the Meramec/ Bourbeuse system. I was just hoping to get some decent bass fishing in between trout fishing trips. Thanks

Thanks a lot for the help guys

Thanks a lot for the help, I just seem to have a little trouble trout fishing in Missouri, and this should help.

I am planning on trying to hit Maramec Springs several times once the catch and keep season begins, and I just have a couple of questions. I've fished here twice before, and each time fished all day and only caught one trout. Based on the number of people I see taking their limits in the first hour or so, I am clearly doing something wrong. I mainly spinfish, but I have a fly rod and will use it if it works better down there. I would just appreciate any advice on tips, baits, lures etc. Thanks a lot.

I fished Little Piney Creek on November 20, and was surprised to only see a couple trout, and hooked zero. I have a few questions about how I can more efficiently fish this pretty little creek. I both spin-fish and fly-fish, and practice catch and release 1. Does the White Ribbon area or the Blue Ribbon area generally produce more fish? 2. In the Blue Ribbon Section, should I fish near Vida Slab, or closer to Lane Spring? 3. What flies are productive during the winter? 4. What spinning lures are effective here. I'd really appreciate any help I can get. I'm more used to fishing western streams, and the Missouri spring creeks seem kinda hard to figure out.
