Asking for Help/Suggestions near StL


Recommended Posts

I've done pretty well with hookups and landed fish on flies with Shortnose Gar (landed at least 13 last weekend).  I'm hoping I might have similar success with Longnose Gar, but if I have to resort to a rope fly, I can.  My problem is I'm not seeing them where I'm fishing, so I was hoping some folks here might know where concentrations of them might be?

Pretty sure I saw a couple spotted gar today.  But I’m not an expert at identifying them.

Let me get you on the Current River. You'll get Shadow Bass for sure. Decent shot at Chain Pickerel. Decent shot at Skipjack.

And if you ever ventured above Akers ferry lots of great brown trout water with some smallies tossed in. No shadows that far upstream. 

However he did mention staying around St Louis. Still need to work on his drive to fish ratio tolerance 😉!

@FishnDave like how we speak of you in third person😁?

I think he's warming to the task. He had Good results last road trip so I think we can convince him to do more.
