It Was A Good Run

What did we get this time? 3 weeks between flooded water conditions. I throw in the towel and work on deer stands and food plots.

That's the same way I'm feeling right now also. Got plenty of things to do in the deer woods to keep me occupied until the rivers aren't a mess.

Kids are in school and hunters in the stands... great time to be on the water. That said, don't forget me when the deer jerky is ready

Okay so the river still looks like crap!! Maybe run up till it gets clean. 35 miles up maybe. Worst fishing summer I've seen in years. Hopefully it stays dirty all gigging season.

No offense to all the legal giggers out there, but I agree

Like everyone the weather messed with my fishing this summer but if possible, I'm gonna try to to make up for it with plenty of fall/winter/spring trout fishing, not to mention deer season which is coming soon enough. I can't wait honestly. My usual float-fishing for smallies was almost a total loss for me so far, but you can't win 'em all. I have a little creek in mind to try this weekend which could make me feel a bit better about that.

With the huge exception of the horrible flooding in the past few weeks..... frankly I'm glad we were spared a typical Missouri summer for once. It even briefly quelled my annual summer desire to run off to Montana. The summer of 2012 was brutal. Whatever else this year was, it sure wasn't a repeat of that.

I am almost out of fishing time! Dove season then bow season. Only unusually warm weather that hinders hunting will get me back on water. Sunset hills big meeting tomorrow night to legalize bow hunting. Watch the news. Might see me giving my speech on why bow hunting instead of sharpshooters

[Seth]

Ive vowed to try amd fish some this fall. Im sure I miss out some really good fishing but it is awful hard to get me to put down the bow and arrow long enough to pick up the rod and reel.

Fall is my favorite time to fish. I enjoy hunting , but catching nice smallies and walleyes on the Meramec amid cool temperatures and blazing fall colors cannot be beat! Besides my place in wildwood is overun with %!#! poachers. Chasing them off is a full time job. Ruins the whole experience of hunting anymore.
