Members roundtrout Posted February 20, 2006 Members Posted February 20, 2006 What's the best way to float and fish the Niangua? I've got various MDC maps, but they aren't very detailed. How far should you float and what's the best tactic? That is, is it better to fish from the canoe/raft/tube or pull in to a gravel bar and fish the run from bottom to top? What do you guys recommend? Thanks. Bob Bob
Gavin Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 A canoe, kayak, or jon boat would work well below Bennett. Bennett to Barclay is a good day float. Bennett to Prosperine can be done in one day, but your gonna need to paddle a lot due to the distance. I like to take my time and relax, so most of my day trips are less than 7 miles. Cheers.
Wayne SW/MO Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 The river is pretty much unfishable from the 64 access to Barclay, maybe Ho Humm, on weekends in the Summer. It just too crowded and unfortunately there is no limit of the number of canoes that can be launched. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
