Can I ask, when stripping buggers there, what size tippet do you use?

Just 4lb mono or two pound test if it's really clear

I think that you should. If nothing more than the challenge of that tight space fishing. However I know that you don't like fishing those naturalized rainbows 😜.

           If they are displacing a native species in trouble they should be gone ! You and I both know that right Mr. Scientist?

Looks as if the lower section trout have spawned but the middle section are n process still.

The water level is the best it has been since last winter.  I'm probably going to go again before January is over. The post spawn fish seen to really like to eat lol. Threw biggest in olive and black. The big fish came on a jig style bugger inspired by Ollie and his spinning hear jig buggers. The deep holes were no match for the weight. Fish were in heavier current then you normally find them most likely due to the food dislogdment from recent two inch rain.

Glad to hear that I inspired you to tie one like that! Now if I could only manage to catch a fish out of there as well. I went down there this past Sunday and fished below the ball fields and didn't have but one bite. Lots of deep holes in tight spaces like you said, but my jigs just weren't doing the trick.

That section I tough ... if you walk down the tracks to the bridge then walk back up or down you will do better. Also that section is spawning still

Wish that I had the time to make it down there on this Missouri trip. Love to get on some of those fish if they want to feed😉.

Some further downstream.  You don't even have to go that far. You can though and no one has ever said any thing to me. I stay in the water and don't mess around the shore at all. If you go to far there is that dairy farm . He doesn't like fisherman
