No clue where either of those are. I'm assuming though that stands for the entire span of the river?

Haris122 you should do the float I did yesterday and I am not joking at all.

 Go to Ozark outdoors at Leasburgh have them take you up to either Butts slab on the Courtois or to HWY  8 on the Huzzah. Both floats are approximately 9 miles but you end at your vehicle. They shuttle  my yak for me for a special  rate because  of my business  over the years with them.

Yesterday was extremely  hot and I gave up on fishing  for stretches  of the float because it was just too hot. I caught  3 Smallies in the 17 inch range and a hand full of 15's and 16's....no hawg 18+ like I did last year bUT if you can make accurate  casts with the right topwater and fish the logs in current with soft plastics I don't see how you couldn't  nail a 16 or 17.

I am not trying  to be an butt....just trying  to put you on some fish because I know yer a good guy and hopefully  CnR on the smallies but, they are the only two floats in Missouri  I will use an outfitter because I can end at my truck  and it's productive.....also go during  the week NEVER  go on a weekend....all the wildlife and fish a running  scared on the weekends.

I've been meaning to give the Huzzah or Courtois a shot with the kayak or wading again, just hard to make it out everywhere I want to. I imagine by the end of the summer I'll make it out there once. And no worries, 99% of the time I'm catch and release on just about any fish, even crappie. So the Smallmouth would definitely get mercy, if they'd even get caught.
