Lower Meramec 4-6

[Justin92297]

I started the day off at the big river but didn't catch anything in the high muddy water. Since the meramec was also very muddy I fished a few of its feeder creeks. This was definitely the right move. Ended up with 14 spotted bass and my first smallmouth ever on the lower river. Most of the bass were about a pound or less, but the last creek I went to gave up at least four fish over two pounds. Also the last person who posted a report for the lower Meramec seemed to be on the same pattern so there must be something to it.

Way to adapt. I need to learn that too.

Went out again today to some different creeks. Caught a bunch of small bass and just a few decent ones. Also caught my first bowfin. Does anyone else catch those around here? Iv never seen them before.

Good luck. The river looked pretty good today. I will be back on the river tomorrow afternoon
