Your comments are needed on proposed management changes to the Ozark National

Scenic Riverways. The proposed changes pertain to limits on motorized boats and

land use and they can be viewed at the link above.

There will be a meetings around the state seeking comments if you want to attend

or you can submit your comments via the web. I'd hope that you

will take some time to offer your comments because these changes will affect two

of Missouri's premier trout waters and some of the best smallmouth waters in the

state (Jack's Fork and Current below Round Spring)

Thanks Gavin! Being an avid float-fisherman of the areas effected, especially the Jacks Fork, I know exactly which alternative I favor and will be commenting on.

Likewise. Thanks for the info.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one

I hope the people on this forum really react to this one, even the Taney guys. More input the better... even if you don't fish the riverways.

Yep, the more people who comment the better. Just like the less chance of getting hit by a jet boat in skinny water is all the better LOL.

I hope that they will finally outlaw gigging in the trophy brown trout area of the Meramac. I can't tell you how many dead trout I have seen lying on the bottom of the river when I'm out bowhunting on the island across from my cabin. I fished one brownie out with a paddle that was at least 7lbs. Allowing jetboats on this stretch is a joke also.

I agree with you, but the Meramec River isn't part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
