Meramec first time tomorrow?

[Orey10m]

I (and probably everyone else with this warm weather) am planning to get out tomorrow. Was hoping to have another go at some smallmouth, this time with my fly rod. 

I haven't been to the meramec yet so was thinking of going there and Wade fishing or paddling my kayak up and floating back down, getting out and fishing here and there.

I was thinking of going somewhere around steelville since it's relatively close to me (1.5hrs) coming from St Louis. Would the access at Birds Nest or Scotts Ford around there be good for this type of thing?

Was also thinking I could fish upstream of Woodson k Woods but don't know how that would be this time of year. 

Any guidance or help me rule something out?  thanks

They’re building a new bridge at Scott’s Ford, maybe stay away from there. You could park at Meramec Springs and walk down to the river and walk either up or down. I haven’t been to the Springs in a while though.

Ah nice - thanks for the intel!

Guess I'll go above Scotts Ford then
