Any Good Locations?

[jshipman23]

I want to start fishing creeks again. I live in St. Louis. I don't have anything so I can't go into deep water and I would rather not go into the water. Is there any good fishing areas where I could walk the bank? It doesn't have to be that long or anything. Easy access to the bank by a bridge or something. I dont mind getting a little wet but not past my shins. If you can let me know a exact location I would appreciate it!

Go back to the forumn and read the pinned article at the top. Best all around description of what to expect.

The BB is not a very wade friendly river..Too many long deep slow holes, small gravel bars, and high mud banks but you can find a few spots on it and the other Meramec tributaries. Buy a Delorme Gazeteer, hunt around on Google Earth, burn some gas. I'm sure you will find a honey hole here and there.

The answer to your questions are yes and no.......I'm not sure how you expect to be serious about fishing creeks and not wanting to get in water or water over your shins......It kind of sounds like your joking

Half the fun is getting in the water. Beside ther'e is no stinging nettle or chigger in the water.

Be careful walking in by a bridge There is an ordinance supposedly prohibiting parking within 500' of a bridge or something like that. Catch and release in my creek. I'm selling my place soon so pm me your number and I can give you directions recent floods have flushed some dandy smallies into the few root wad holes I have on my property I watched the neighbor kid catch goggle eye cast after cast yesterday before the storm. That was pretty cool.
