Greetings,

Enjoyed your great photos of the Osage River.

I've never fished the lower river and might not ever go, but I was very curious where that low dam is located? Are there others similar on the Osage?

It would surely be a fish-holding honeyhole in the spring.

White Bass and Walleye, for sure, but I am curious is you catch or know of any who catch Hybrid Stripers there?

Thanks in advance for your follow-up.

When the water is running you can slay the hybrids there. Usually catch them at the mouth of the Maries River or up at the lock and dam he has in the pictures.

Great photos, now is there a fishing report with the photos??

Yes there are Hybrids at the dam along with whites also. The dam is about a 4-5 minute ride up river from the Mari-Osa ramp at Hyw 50 ramp. It can be real good at times. I like to fish there when the water level at St. Thomas is somewhere between 4-5 ft. No other low head dams on the river except the Mari -Osa LHD

Hope this helps.DRBM [url=http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mo/nwis/uv/?site_no=06926510&PARAmeter_cd=00065,63160,00060]

Thanks very much for your follow-up.

I encourage you to report your experiences fishing that area (not just that specific spot) during the year.

Are there any other tributaries that consistently produce spring runs of White and Hybrid Striped Bass, that are accessible in the Lower Osage Basin?
