Well I'm planning on going down to float the Niangua from Bennett Springs access to the NRO campground on Sunday and staying on the river until Thursday. I know, short stretch for 5 days. I was hoping to get into a bunch of trout but now with the flooding I feel like it's gonna be a lost cause. Any chance the water will clear up and go down to normal levels in the next week leading up to Sunday?

From my experiences growing up on the niangua its going to be a while before it'll be fishable again. Like was stated there will be some big jams and sand bar movement. That river gets pretty big after rain like this. Now if we don't get any more rain and the sun comes out , maybe ten days before you want drown and will catch fish. Maybe less but this is a lot of water on the shed.
