Mideast Part of the State Flooding Too.

ehh Gavin has a point there......every creek and river is flooding here and you are asking about where to go fish that may not be flooding??? give me a break!!!!

I have an answer for him.....buy a Missouri Gazetteer and go on this link  http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=lsx  do some homework on your own. Explore a little and figure some of this crap out for yourself.  I don't think this fishing forum is for exposing your favorite stream or lake as much as it isn't for "guilting" someone as you said to help some people out in serious trouble right now......which is not what Gavin was doing IMO. 

 

 Ummm Haris if you can't figure out where to go to help with sandbagging you are more clueless than I could have ever imagined......if you actually wanted to help??  

Smallie, spare me the stuck up bs. Last flood you were busy kayaking around in it, by your own admission. The river cleanup they had last summer, your volunteering extended as far as taking pictures of the dumpsters at Greentree. Now that you filled a couple sandbags down the street from where you live, all of a sudden that elevated you to someone to chastise others that worked that day on the other side of town, like no one but you ever lifted a goddamn finger to help anyone out. Guess what I drove around a little today. Didn't see any piles of sand, bags, shovels, or people filling them, so why don't you and Gavin put your darn money where your mouth is, and point someone clueless to where this is going on, otherwise quit the preaching. And I don't mean someplace where I have to attain your holiness, to magically cross over flooded rivers to get to it, seeing how there should be plenty of it nearby me.

Daryk, I made it down there a little before 7:30 and fished for about a half hour. Was just about to leave, when a 13" or 14" bass hit the heddon tiny torpedo I was throwing. I managed to bring him in, and since it was getting close to time for the park to close, I left it at that.

Thank you. Really. That came from all our hearts.

Is one like enough? Bullies cannot/should not be tolerated here.

Bullies, hell, I wouldn't even call them that. They might have filled some sandbags. Great, good job.  But IF they did, they seemingly did it so they can lift up their nose at others, and then not volunteer anything useful to guide that person as to where they can be of help. I'll do Smalliebigs' hypocritical posterior one better. If he can find me a route that will allow me to go to the site of volunteering, and back, without spending all day just in traffic and/or cut off from my house at the end of the day, I will gladly even go someplace outside of Arnold. I got time tomorrow. All he needs to do is volunteer this information to me instead of just berate me. Same applies to Gavin. IF they're not afraid that one or both of them then, won't be the only members of an exclusive club of volunteers.

Back on track. Clearwater Lake ran over its emergency spillway for first time in history Monday.

I just thought it was funny. I must have been trying to read it the same time you were changing it. Nothing you said was wrong.

Welp...weird guilt trips and awkward arguments aside....there are plenty of fish to be had with all this rain.  Rivers are toast, and will be...but some smaller creeks and streams recover quite quickly after a good rain.  Also, any pond in the area that doesnt turn to chocolate milk will be quite fish able.  Just this past weekend, I was in Terre du lac, and my buddy and I were bank fishing the spillways of the clearest lakes there (most of them are quite clear).  We found bass stacked up in good numbers when the water was moving well.  Caught lots of <14 inch fish, a few that were maybe 16 or 17, and 1 big one.  Busch wildlife also has lakes that stay clear all the time.  All this rain gives the water some much needed color, and positions fish where there might be some current.  

 

Yup...thats a transformers tackle bag.

My favorite thing to do is wait until a couple of guys hit the like button, and then add in something that would piss them off.  ?
