Johnsfolly Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I fished the Niangua River at the Rt 64 Bridge access looking to catch some fish that had eluded me last year. I was fishing worms and was able to catch the fish that I had been thinking about for some time. I was able to fight the current and place my baits just where my target fish could take the bait. I let the fish take the baits before setting the hook. Once I landed them I took their pictures and released them back into the river. Here are the male rainbow darters that I caught yesterday. I did also catch a few 8-10 inch rainbow trout on this trip as well. I also tried for some of the suckers, but kept catching the more aggressive hornyhead chubs. Will have to go back again for the suckers. Ham, BilletHead, jtram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsfolly Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks BH. I had seen these darters when I fished this section previously. Now it get's harder. I am going to have to find different darters in waters that I have not seen them before or have never fished but need to target based upon previous collection records from those water. Should be fun.
