Arofishing Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 When do they come out? What is the magical water temp? My first winter/spring season trying to fish in the Ozarks and I can't find any warmwater fish. I wanted to do something other than trout, so I waded up stream from Sunshine yesterday, but no fish. I knew I was in trouble right when I get in, the water felt reeeeaaaal cold. The river is as high as I've seen it (which isn't long, only last summer until now). I ended up just hiking quite a ways up stream, very enjoyable.
Members Zeke Kuehn Posted March 14, 2012 Members Posted March 14, 2012 I think that I am going to check it out tomarrow. I am going to put in at Micheal Crieghton and kayak up to Hwy D. I was there scouting it out yesterday and saw some Bass, hopefully I can get some on the fly. "Fish Long and prosper"- John Geirach
Arofishing Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 Did you have any luck? I just got back from California, and with this beautiful weather, I'd think the bass would be out in no time. That water has got to be warming up considerably.
OzarksRiverman Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Well, there was a body found today at chrighton access, and homicide is suspected, so.........

Jack Jones Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah, I was about to say, don't forget to wade around the bodies. Looks like a murder based on KY3. http://www.ky3.com/news/ky3-greene-county-detectives-investigate-body-along-the-james-river-20120315,0,3876399.story Gotta say, Springfield's getting kind of rough these days.

RSBreth Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I've always caught better fish in the upper part of the lake versus further upstream in colder water - but hey - you guy might like to answer questions from Springfield P.D after finding the body vs. actually fishing.
OzarksRiverman Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I wonder if the Zeke Kuehn guy who posted he was going to put in at crighton and paddle up actually found the body and alerted the police?
Members Zeke Kuehn Posted April 9, 2012 Members Posted April 9, 2012 Nah, was not me thank goodness. However It was found just a couple of days later. I still can not catch a bass on the fly in the James! only bluegill. "Fish Long and prosper"- John Geirach
