Got Skunked

[ThisFish]

Hey this is a belated trip report,

My father and law and I have been trying to get out on the water lately but all the rain has put us off. We went out on 5/21 to the Courtois near the Huzzah MDC access and the Meramec near Birds Nest. No luck at either spot for us, the current was ripping. First time trying for the both of us, and the first time wade fishing after growing up floating with kayaks. It was just hard to get up or down river on foot and a few times I just stepped back out of the water and said not today, moving to a shallower spot. 

 

Had fun getting out but it'd be nice to land something. Used jerkbaits for a while then switched to cranks.

Yeah I've had trouble catching since the river has come this past two weeks or so.  See any boats out?

There was one canoe but thats it. Really nice in that regard.
