Lake Jacomo In Blue Springs Mo.

As a young boy I fished and gigged frogs from the many subdivision ponds in and around Ballwin/Manchester area.  Any small creek that traversed the area got fished as well.  Every year Dad would take us into upper Michigan to fish trout around the town of Republic on the Fence river and it's tributaries.  We also used to go back into Just Lake where I caught a 26" brook trout.  Several years we fished around Rapid River/Escanaba areas on the Rapid and Whitefish rivers for trout and also trolled for walleye on Little Bay de Noc.  Occasionally Dad would take us to Meramec Springs growing up, but he never really enjoyed that as compared to our Michigan trips.  In college at Rolla I haunted the Meramec, Big, Bourbeuse, Huzzah, Courtois, Little Piney, and Gasconade rivers with my future wife.  Fished Lake Livingston, Lake Conroe and Toledo Bend when we lived in Houston.  Have to say my home lake since moving to KC in 1986 has been Lake Jacomo.  I spend plenty of time on LOZ each year and Stockton as well.  My kids grew up floating the Sac river from below Stockton dam to Caplinger Mills.  Used to be a lot of quality bass in that stretch of river.  Got to spend time with my wife's GPA, her step Dad, and my Dad on both the Sac and Stockton lake during their later years.  The three of them are gone now, but the pics and the memories never fade.  As Alan Jackson says, "Remember when..."

At your advanced age I figured I might have to give you some clues, but you got it.  Heck I'm probably older than you Doug.
