ozark trout fisher Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ever since I've moved out here to the central part of the state I haven't spent much (really any) time on one of my old favorites, the Bourbeuse. I'd been wanting to do a float this weekend though, and I was thinking of heading over there. So forgive the question. The gauge says 160 CFS-I've been on there at that flow when it was pretty much too muddy to be worthwhile, and I've also been on it at that flow when it was plenty clear to be good fishing-you can't always tell what you're going to get by looking at the gauge on the Bourbeuse. Before I wouldn't worry about it because it was just down the road, but unfortunately that isn't the case anymore. So my question...anyone been on it in the last coupla days, and if so, what kind of clarity are we looking at? I know it ain't gonna be clear cause it almost never is, but I'll consider going elsewhere if it's chocolate milk. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fish Ogre Posted May 12, 2012 Members Share Posted May 12, 2012 I checked out the river near Union today. It is a little murkier than normal due to rain last Sunday night, but it is still very fishable. "Joy to the fishes..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozark trout fisher Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks. Though I should probably just stop saying that I have a trip planned on a certain day, because of course it didn't work out. I ended up only being able to steal a couple hours for some pond fishing, not the full day I'd need for a float-and tomorrow is a no-go as well. But I appreciate the info all the same, and if possible I'll try to sneak out sometime next week to fish it...We'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
