Members Kc River Ratt Posted July 19, 2010 Members Posted July 19, 2010 So decided too brave the summer heat this weekend. Was going too be fishing the upper Gasconade, but the early week rains have still got the water murky. So we decided too head down too the trophy area between Y hwy and Jerome. My previous PB was 16 inches... so when I pulled this one out I was a happy camper despite the heat. The water in the middle Gasconade was clearer then that below 44, flow was nice the bite was slow... and the heat was brutal. Thanx too Larry and his wife at Boiling Spring Campgrounds for the parking, put in and all the ice.
TroutRinger Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Looks like a pig. What were the measurements and weight? I caught my personal best smallie last weekend on the Jacks Fork. It was a 19 inch football. It sure is a great feeling. Nice work "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy." "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot."

Jacks Fork is one of the rivers I wanna try sooner then later. 18 1/8 just a tad over 3lbs. I need those digital fish scales. Looked like a late spawn w/ all the high water perhaps? She had a flabby empty belly, and was actually kinda lethargic.
G-ROD Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Nice fish..congrats! -------------------- Mo Smallmouth Hunter Gary
Trout Commander Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Awesome fish! I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
Members walkeg Posted July 22, 2010 Members Posted July 22, 2010 KC River Ratt, you said the upper Gasconade was murky a few days ago. Have they had that much rain down there? We are planning at float in early August, hoping to put in at Jerktail and go to Graven's but have been told they haven't had much rain and the river is pretty low up there. You, or anybory know if you could canoe it? We expect to drag some!

Havent checked the radar or flow in awhile since I've been back home.
