If your bank fishing, it'll be tough, the Osage is up, not many places to stand. If your in a boat, be careful, as you approach the dam, a lot of metal and rocks there. You'll lose some tackle, a lot of snags. I'd use some live bait ie. shad or minnows. .. good luck, wader

Throw shad colored crank baits along the East bank starting from the lock and working your way down. Usually you'll find a pocket of hybrids and can catch several. That's what we do anyways.

I was told by a old MO.river Rat (and it has proven true so far...) that the best wing-dike action comes from the dikes that are just downstream from big sand bars. The area from Portland access down to where the Katy trail turns away from the river is really good, and you can access several good dikes on foot, although a bicycle or a boat helps.

And BTW, that little pub in Portland serves a mean tenderloin sandwich
