Al Agnew Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Ok then, I'll head over to the Spring river and fish from Spring River Oaks down to 9 mile road and I'll catch and photograph one. What's in the Current River System? What's in Bryant Creek? Gasconade? Niangua? Current has shadow bass. Bryant should be Ozark bass. Gasconade has northern rock bass. Niangua is probably northern as well, but something is making me think that it may have shadow bass.
Ham Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks Al! I have plans to fish the Current this fall. I'll push for a Gasconade trip as well. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Wayne SW/MO Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I've never caught anything but Northern Rock bass, AKA goggle eye in the Niangua. It's been cut off from any other bodies of water since time began however and i would think if any were in there they would be obvious. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
mojorig Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Ham, That is an Ozark Bass. Norfork has Ozark Bass in it. The Ozark Bass in only found in the Upper White River drainage. The Black River system (current, 11 point, etc) have shadow bass. Ham 1 Jeremy Risley District Fisheries Supervisor AGFC Mountain Home Office - 1-877-425-7577 Email: Jeremy.Risley@agfc.ar.gov Â
Ham Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks Jeremy. Does Norfork still have Red Ear Sunfish? Suggestions of where to fish on BSL to try to get a Yelllow Perch? Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Members CaptainNemo68 Posted July 31, 2014 Members Posted July 31, 2014 I'm going with Ozark Bass as well.
mojorig Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Ham, There still is a good population of redear in both Bull Shoals and Lake Norfork. We saw some slab redear during our annual spring and fall bass electrofishing samples in 2014 on Lake Norfork. All the yellow perch that I have heard of being caught or have caught myself have cam from Peel (125 access) down to the Dam. The last reported caught that I have heard of came from the Howard Creek area.

Ham Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 well then, I'll have to go with natural baits fished on bottom or around brush and hope for the best in 2015. The Shadow Bass thing got taken care of last year on the Current and again this year on the Black River system. I'm sitting at 7 species so far. I'll make a trip to the Norfork and get a Brook Trout before too long. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
trythisonemv Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Goggle eye! I've heard people call them all sort of things. They're in the niangua thick. I caught a bunch down at Capps too. I believe shadow or war mouth are just varieties of same thing. I have caught all colors and patterns in niangua just depended on where I pulled them out of. Like under a log , grass, etc.
