Where Can I Find A Good Population Of Smallmouth On The Current River?

Where can I find a good population of smallmouth on the Current River? Preferably closer to the headwaters so the drive time from Columbia, MO is reduced.

round springs to where it empties into the black river man, they are nailing top water in the shallows at daylight and dusk. been slaying them on white and black twin tailed grubs and small plastics.

Where can I find that on the map to get driving directions?

I think I found it. Thanks!

Basically the Round Spring to Two Rivers stretch is the highest section that has a really good smallie population. The fish get a little bigger farther downstream, and like Polock said, you can find them all the way to the mouth of the river, though you start getting into more spotted bass below Doniphan.

Any reason you settled on the Current? You'll be passing up a lot of smallie water that's as good or better.

No reason. What do you recommend?

What type of grubs you using? Are they a 4" or 5" split tail hula grub with a skirt or just a ordinary spit tail? And you say your best color was a white shad color with black flake? or just anything white.

Piney, Gasconade, upper Meramec.....

I agree...lots of great water on the G. Nade & Big Piney..wish I could fish those rivers more often.
