New To The Area

Hey whats up guys? I'm fairly new to the area and I'm wanting to fish the Sac rivers. What are some good points near Springfield where I can enter the river and start walking the bank? I'm mainly looking for smallies and largemouth, but I'll take any tips for any type of fish that can be found in these waters.

On the Little Sac, if your wanting to wade, stay upstream of the 215 bridge (near Morrisville). Below that the water starts getting unwadeable because it's starting to get close to Stockton Lake. I've never waded Sac River but I would suspect the same. I'm not 100% on the course of it, but the wading would probably be best south of the Ash Grove area.

I moved north of Springfield a couple years ago from Ozark. And I used to fish the upper Finley, Swan, and Beaver a bunch. When I first went and looked at the Little Sac it didn't look very good and I though I was screwed, but there are some good fishing holes if you look for them. This summer I've really been slayin' em on green bitsy tubes with 1/8 oz. jighead.

The easiest access I use for the L. Sac is NE of Walnut Grove. Go to Walnut Grove, right at the flashing light, 1 mile to JJ hwy, turn left, then two miles to 550th road turn right, go about 1 1/2 and park on the far side of the bridge. Good fishing up or downstream from bridge.

Of course if the water is up its hard to wade anywhere, especially on the Little Sac, so try to hit it during a dry spell. Good Luck.
