Headin down to the Bennett Springs Access

[Girschwinn]

Goin to fish at the Bennett Springs Access early Saturday morning and Barclay Access later that day. It's supposed to be nice, around 62 I think! Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had been down recently. Gonna be fishing rapalas and rooster tails. Any tips as to the best spot or what lures would be workin right now would be much appreciated!!!

 

Thanks,

Alex

Been slow but there is a hole below the riffle below the 64 HWY Bridge that has been Good in the past. If you can go on down below the Ramp you'll come to a Gravel Bar on down on opposite side, just across from there has been good.

Barclay can't go wrong following the Lane cut through the brush, come to a ditch, go to the left it will take you to a Riffle always good there.

I've used Small Spinners and done well this time of year. Color depends on what they want that day. If all else fails White Power Dough Bait.

The water is very clear so 2# Test Line should work best.

Had a hard time getting bites at Bennett Springs Access. Caught a real nice brown on a lipless crankbait at Barclay Access!!! Nicest trout I've ever caught! Overall a great day to be fishin in the ozarks.

Congrats on a very nice brown trout! Must have missed you at Bennett's access. We didn't make it to Barclay access on Saturday, but do agree that it was a great day to be on the river!

Not bad at all!   Which lipless crank?

Awesome.  Lipless cranks don't get seen much by river fish around here. Not sure why not.

Maybe it's because nobody throws them?
