Best of luck. The Missouri Smallmouth Alliance is a great defender of our state fisheries. Craig Stephens

I know I have no one to blame but myself....but you're killing me. I haven't caught a smallmouth yet this year. I sure hope I get a chance to come down and float your river soon. You guys are the best. Tight loops. Craig Stephens (from Hargroves)

Brian, Thanks for a great trip. You are the hardest working guide I've floated with. Having the right fly is one thing....having someone point out the best spots and put you in a position to make the cast is another. Including the pain in the butt spot you walked us through where the big wild hen was hooked. And you didn't even give me any trouble when I snarled/hung up my nymph rig for the tenth time. Thanks for being a steward of our trout waters!! Tight loops. Craig Stephens p.s. To everyone that hasn't floated and/or fished this stream it is the most beautiful undeveloped stream in the Ozarks in my humble opinion...with apologies to the Upper Jacks Fork in the Spring.....
