bluebasser86 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Never been on the Niangua but I've heard good things and would like to make a trip this fall, mainly for CPR smallmouth fishing. I've got a small 12' jon with a trolling motor that can float about anywhere that I'd rather fish out of than a canoe but not sure how I'd go about doing that since it would be a solo float? Are there any outfitters that would drop off and pick up a jonboat? Or would it be better to just deal with fishing from a canoe? It would be a weekday float if that makes any difference.
Members DaveMac Posted August 18, 2011 Members Posted August 18, 2011 I recommend going the rental canoe route. Too many riffles and tricky spots to worry about with your own boat. Weekday floats during the summer months can make a big difference on Niangua, but you'll probably be OK even on a weekend during the fall (it's the off-season for the aluminum hatch!). I'd also take a few trout lures if you plan to fish the stretch below Bennett Spring. Doesn't get much better than having a shot at a nice brown trout if smallmouth fishing is slow.

dennis boatman Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 We are headed down there Sunday morning. Kayaks from Sand Springs. We are going to there take-out, which I believe is just a little above Barclay. I was down there wade fishing last week and did pretty good. 7 rainbows and 2 small browns. We plan on doing our main fishing in the first mile or so. We are kayaking because we are thinking of purchasing a pair for me and my wife. We have canoed alot, but never kayaked so it should be an adventure. I will most likely fly fling for trout, and my wife will use some power bait. A strike indicator is just a bobber...
