Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 10, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted July 10, 2006 Wondering where the "other" waters are? Anyplace OTHER than those listed. Wappapello - is that in the Ozarks?
Members slabseeker Posted July 10, 2006 Members Posted July 10, 2006 Lake Wappapello is in Wayne County, we consider it the eastern most edge of the ozarks, just a few miles east of Van Buren/Current River.
Kayser Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 From the list: Montauk/Upper Current (favorite) or Lake of the Ozarks (most fished in MO). "Other" would be small farm ponds(most fished anywhere) and the lower Kaskaskia/Mississippi. Though I prefer trout when I can fish for them, catfish or crappie are just a lot of fun to go after (plus they taste the best! ) Rob WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
Brian Sloss Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Shocker, mine is the Eleven Point and I still believe there is no better river in Missouri. Griffster 1 www.elevenpointflyfishing.com www.elevenpointcottages.com (417)270-2497
snagged in outlet 3 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I live in St. Louis so the only fishing near the house worth going to is the carp hole. After that everything to do with the almighty trout is a pretty good drive. Had to give it some thought because there are some great places. I voted other. Mountain Home is the destination. Taney would get my vote except for it's small realive size. Mountain Home because of all the choices. I know The White and Norfork are choices, but when I go we stay in the Mountain Home area and fish both rivers depending upon generation and what sounds good at the time. Sometimes the dam area's, Rim or McClellans. But mostly I fish all of them when generation allow's. Stay 3 or 4 days and fish a new spot very day. I think Mountain Home should be one of the choices. Snagged.
CaptainT16 Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Well, unfortunately I live in KS so I will say my home water would be Milford Lake in east central KS. I wish I could say my home lake is Taney, although while living in Springfield I took up Fly Fishing at Taney. So glad to have had that opportunity. "He told us about Christ's disciples being fisherman, and we were left to assume...that all great fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fisherman and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman." - Norman Maclean-A River Runs Through It
Gavin Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 If your talking trout I'll spill, its a toss up between the Current, 11pt, or NFoW, but I float & fish the Current most often. When it comes to smallmouth, its tributary of a stream that eventually drains into the Gulf of Mexico . Cheers.
Members budge Posted July 25, 2006 Members Posted July 25, 2006 When you say "home waters", the expression conjurs up visions of my childhood. My first "keeper" was a nice sized google eye caught from under the old low water bridge above Baker's Slough on the Little Piney. It is where my passion for fishing was born so I still consider it to be my home waters even though I haven't fished it for years.
