Recommended Smallmouth Guide

[silvermesa]

My friend and I want to fish for smallmouth and are considering hiring a guide for our first experience. Considering the Gasconade River but am open to other streams as well. Open to going within the next couple of weeks or in the spring.

Recommendations for a good teacher/guide for our first trip? Feel free to describe your day if you have fished with this guide.

Thank You!

Brian Sloss does some sweet trips on the Eleven Point, but it will depend on water conditions. PM him and I'm sure he will tell you if it is worth doing or not. If he says it is you will catch some good fish.

Ditto on Brian Sloss!

Dennis Whiteside. I haven’t used him as a guide but we have swapped many emails on smallmouth fishing and I have no problem recommending him.

I am sure he can guide you on the Gasconade or any other decent smallmouth stream in Missouri or Arkansas. From his website post, he has pretty much guided on all of them at one time or another.

All the above are excellent suggestions. Nick and Corey are as good as it gets for the Meramec, and may also be willing to take you to the Gasconade. Dennis Whiteside is a great guy and excellent guide.

Paul Dallas is available only by appointment/deposit of bail bond. Any of the other choices and you will quickly realize you got something much, much less. You get what you pay for people. River fishing is horrible right now, but only Paul has it dialed in with trophy sized fish guarantees.

I hear tell that Paul works for CC on the rocks and Monte Cristo cigars.....wouldn't dare charge a fellow fisherman
