1. yes

2. heavy

3. when you find them, let me know where

I don't think the Niangua has the run that some other rivers have, but I suppose its worth trying. You can buy the grabbing hooks down here, but I don't remember ever seeing them in that area. You need a very stiff rod tip to be really successful.

if you can catch them shoaling at tunnel dam you can load the boat in about an 30 miniuts. I have been when it was the right time but hard to drive up there everyday from my house it is about 35 minuts from Benett so if I had to guess is is olny about 20 minut drive from leadmine have you ever fished there Oneshot?

Yea I go to Tunnel Dam.

My Son is working for a Guy up above Ft.Bennett he says he Grabs them up there.

I've seen them here at Lead Mine but at the time I was thinking Bow Fishing for them.
