Members Ozarkroots Posted June 16, 2010 Members Posted June 16, 2010 Been to the river two nights this week. From 7:00 till dark been catching lots of nice bass on hula-poppers and buzz baits between Bennett and Barlclay. Just can;t go during the weekend when the river is filled with pricks!
fishinwrench Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Nice one Roots ! Have you ever floated the stretch below Leadmine (Bird Island area) ? No pricks down there, ever.

Any smallmouth or were they all largemouth? Largemouth fishing on the Niangua is pretty much ignored in favor of trout (in the 8 miles below Bennett) and smallmouth. Not many folks fish for goggleye any more, either. Used to see lots of goggleye fisherman back when I first started floating/camping on the Niangua with my late Dad in the 1960s.
Members Ozarkroots Posted June 17, 2010 Author Members Posted June 17, 2010 Mostly all largemouth actually. Not too many smallies in the last month or so.
Predator1 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Nice fish. What is the water temp right now and is the mid day bite been good for anyone?
