Gigging the finley

[Jacob McIntosh]

When the wateris athe more normal levels is the gigging any good on the lower finley

it used to be 25 yrs ago, I quit because Ozark dumps less treated sewage in the winter and Nixa is not much better, it was a neat stream until they turned it into a sewer drainage.  Sad Really sad.

You wouldn't catch me eating suckers out of the Finley. Why? See above.

He never said anything about eating them, just gigging them.  Catch and Release?

I'm sure that is the way some people play the game...but not me.

Finley runs into the James just a short distance from both Ozark and Nixa, so it's all the same water.  Just by the looks,smell, and clarity I'd still choose the Finley over the James.  There's many times more pollutants coming out of Springfield into the James than Nixa and Ozark combined.  Yes there is lots of suckers all over the Finley.  And yes I think it's gross no matter which river you choose, it's really aggravating.
