Joplin Weekend

[Jason Essary]

I am going to Joplin next weekend with my girlfriend. Was wondering if anyone knew of a small body of water to be fished close to or inside the City? I will have half a day to kill and need something to do. Give me some ideas.

Hey Jason..

Check out Hickory Creek in Neosho (fly fishing and some small jig/spin fishing)

Shoal Creek for bass..

down in the lower parts of the forum... you should find this areas listed

Yeah, Shoal Creek should be better by next weekend. Right now it's still a little high and off color, but should clear if we don't get any big rains.

There are still some nice trout in Hickory Creek, in the harder to get to spots.
