Meramec Springs: Awesome Catch & Release Opener

[mic]

Just call me the great white hunter... Ok maybe not that, but family and I simply slayed them over the weekend. All together we probably caught over a hundred fish. Almost all of the damage was on an inline spinner or a simple marabou jig tied 12" behind a hookless inline. Monday morning was so bad that I could not fish because my daughter was bringing them faster then I could get a line out. In addition to the catch rate, the fish were of good size. Overall a great birthday weekend camping in the Ozarks. I'll posts some pics once my wife gets them off the camera.

Tight Lines,

Sounds like a fun weekend

Great report. En route now! Which areas did you have the most luck? Did you do any fly fishing at all?

I don't know the hole names in the park, but seemed to work just past the last corner where the three water drains are. Downstream from there any pools in front of rock damns all the way down to the end of the park.

Yes on the fly rod, I did have luck on Saturday with midges and hare's ear under a float.

P.S. I swapped out my inlines with debarbed single point hooks. Unlike BSC, only single hook fishing inside the park during C&R.

Nice job Mic! I will get to fish again someday.

I think taking a 5 month old would be a bit premature.

Excellent trip! It is always good to see your kids catch a bunch.
