Labarque Creek

Anybody ever fish Labarque Creek where it enters the Meramec? At Young Conservation Area? Ever catch any Smallies?

I live in Fenton and, to be honest, I have never heard of it. I found a couple of MDC pages that suggest that there are bass there, but nothing to be found of any substance while "googling".

It's close enough that I will probably run out there on a warm day in the next couple of weeks out of curiosity. I will update then.

I go squirrel and rabbit hunting ( should call it hiking cause I never shot anything there) and that creek is rather small. It may be fun with a micro or fly rod in the summer, but I doubt there is anything in the Young Conservation area over maybe a 1-1.5lbs at most. Good wading stream in the summer would be my bet.

the MDC, or atlkeast the lady i talked to about it, said that Labarque creek is a water shed creek and will dry up when there isnt enough rain to sustain it.
