Big Sugar Creek Fishing Report 08-03-08

[CDC]

I finally managed to snag up one of those canoes that goes for sale on craig's list all the time (16 ft pelican) so had to go floating this weekend. We opted for a Big Sugar Creek float. Had Kozy Kamp shuttle us up river to Craig O'Lee and floated down. The river is getting pretty low but we managed to make it through with very little dragging. If we go another week without rain it will be more of a walk then a float. Caught quite a few little small mouth in the 8" range and 2 or 3 in the 14 to 15" range all on soft plastics. All in all it was a nice float and decent fishing. The best thing about floating Big Sugar is that, if the fish aren't biting you can always jump in for a swim...water felt great on a hot day.

Haven't been on this site since last year.

But the big suger creek is a place I have been since the early 60's and 10. yrs old.

I barley remember floating down from cyclone to the low-water bridge at cragolee as a kid with my mom and dad in a 8' or 10' john boat. The water was so crystal clear and we had to drag it over some logs as I remember.

Back around 1982 I took my old 4 door 57chevy and went tent camping up at cyclone ,still have a bunch of pics. I took.

You can't even camp up their any more by the low water bridge.

Went camping at three rivers back in 96 and caught a lot of small mouth the largest being an 18'' on down, and caught the freak of it all, a huge crappie up the little sugar , wading distance from camp. I thought where the hell did this crappie come from.

These days "I went to Indian creek 2 yrs ago and it sees no canoes and to me that is worth it all....

I live 30 miles east of KC and the Little Niangua is the place for me NO PEOPLE. AND GOOD FISHING
