Friday Trip

[GamblinBlazer]

I am heading down to the Meramec Friday. All of my recent experience has come from putting in at the state park and boating up to blue springs creek and fishing my way back to the ramp.

This section of the river seems easy to fish for me with concentrated areas of fish, very obvious structure, good quantity of creeks flowing in and generally easy to navigate.

My questions are:

How is the water level in that stretch and how much will today's rain bring it up?

Would I find better water and just as favorable areas to fish with putting in at Red Horse and going up river?

Any insight is appreciated as I don't get to take my jet boat out as often and I want to make the most of my day!

Water looks perfect today at Redhorse.  Going up requires some skill about 3 miles up is a treacherous turn full of logs/boulders.
