River alternatives in Missouri

[BIG BASS]

Hey guys, so me and my brother usually hit the JF or Current. Since they are essentially shut down right now, does anyone have any input on Huzzah or Courtois creeks? Meramec? Looking for something somewhat close to that area. Any input wouldn’t be great!

Are you wanting to wade fish?

[BIG BASS]

Negative. Kayak. Fish along the way

Current is still open you just have to shuttle yourself.

Any place you can drop the boats in and pull them out is fair game.  Overnight stays seem to be the issue, no inns open or camps.

Dink creeks mostly. Courtois is more fun to float. Huzzah is a little bigger and less curvy. Both nice floats but usually crowded near Bass, Huzzah Valley, and Ozark Outdoors.

Pine Crest on the upper Current is open and Flying W campground south of Jadwin is open. Both in Dent County , we still like our tourists.

People shopping for groceries.  Fishing for food is an essential need.

Thanks guys. We are definitely wanting to do a 2 day one night trip and stay on a gravel bar.

Will we be able to camp on a gravel bar at night or is this regulated by ONSR too?
