Bp To Jerome?

[moguy1973]

Since our plans for south of St Louis were scrapped we figured we would hit the Gasconade instead this weekend. I know water levels are low and a post from last week said fishing was slow just above this stretch, but anyone fishing it and having any luck? Gonna get out there real early Sunday and hopefully beat the crowd...

Floated about 25 miles upstream of there a week ago. River was low, fishing was slow. You'll see more jetboats than canoers down there.

Spring fed rivers are the ticket right now. They're floatable and the fish are probably spooky but congragated and hungry for anything presented right. Lack of rain is washing nothing into the rivers for them to feed on.

I fished a ways upstream of Hwy 28 to BP today and the water is low and the fishing is slow. I tried about everything, but shaky head tubes seemed to produce better than anything. Water is low enough that I had to drag my kayak a bit today. I tried crankin, I tried spinning, I tried buzzin', even Senko's were striking out today. I'd suggest finding deep holes with current and dragging a tube along the bottom. I picked up 5 smallies and a largemouth in about 4 hours doing this, no rock bass. Like I said, slow fishing.

I'd probably take the advice above to find another spring fed stream. In fact, I may just do that myself.
