You are going to be in a sweet spot.... but the water is going to be very high. Bank fishing is gonna be tough.

Rent a boat from Phil and you can still use power bait floating all the way to Branson.

Also 1/8 ounce jigs anywhere floated under a bobber to bounce off the bottom or thrown 45 degrees downstream and slowly retreived with a spinning rod without a float. Let thee Jigs sink to the bottom. Sclupin/flesh, Sculpin, Green, white and black jigs or wolly buggers should also work. Check with Phils tackle shop when you rent the boat for method and/or what is working.

Using a boat you can anchor and fish behing the Island at Point royalle and the Island just where fall creek comes in throwing into the seam and letting your lures float into the slower water. The fish stack up just behind the islands in the slower water.

I will be down later in July (one leg of a honeymoon trip) for three days and hope to fish out of Phil's dock once or twice while there.
