jpb2187 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I read on the MDC site that there is a 20 gallon per day spring at Busch Wildlife. Does anyone know where it is located?
gramps50 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I believe the spring is in the Weldon Spring Conservation Area.
Justin92297 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I talked to a guy last year while trout fishing at lake 28 who said he found out about a small spring in the lake. He also told me he was fishing for catfish there in July and was catching trout that were stocked in the winter. Not sure if this is true but he did mention hearing about it from the MDC
Old plug Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I would be very sceptical of any spring out in bushes. I lived very close to the 40/94 junction before and diring the early years of the clean up out there. Allegadly the clain it is finished. But I just wonder about the ground water where such a spring would be coming from. I remember at the time there was concern about the ground water.
Geoff Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 A couple of the lakes at Busch are spring feed, i know 21 and 28 the C&R trout lakes have springs that keep them cool/warm. "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."
stlfisher Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Yep, 28 has a spring for sure. I didn't know about 21, but it would not surprise. I think 28 has some holdover near that spring for sure.
mhall02 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Yep, 28 has a spring for sure. I didn't know about 21, but it would not surprise. I think 28 has some holdover near that spring for sure. That sounds interesting! Any stories to tell? I caught a brown out there (the year they stocked them) one time in May or June, but nothing in July or August timeframe. I don't get out there as much as I used to, but usually hit 28 at least once a year after the trout go in. Take my son and let him have at it!
Geoff Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I caught a 10+ pounder out of 21 a couple years ago. Or what it 28, its the smaller of the two lakes and i always get em mixed up "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."
mhall02 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 21 is smaller, what time of year did you catch it? Did it look like a typical somewhat beat up brood stocker or something that had been in the lake for a year or more (i.e. fully developed fins, no nubs or rounded, good color, etc.??).
