Al Agnew Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 What constitutes "best"?Ā Numbers of fish?Ā Big fish?Ā Average size of fish?Ā I have caught more than 50 smallmouth a day in 15 different float streams in MO, and several wading size streams.Ā I have caught 19 inch plus smallmouth in 12 float streams and again several wading streams.Ā My point is that there are plenty of "good" streams or stream sections, with really none standing out from the rest; the ones you catch the most and biggest fish from are the ones you know well and fish often.Ā It would be far easier to name the WORST fishing stretches.Ā (Worst float stream fishing stretch in my opinion--Current River from Akers to Pulltite.)

Potential.Ā Ā Every river has good years and not-so-good years.Ā But there are some noticable things that can let you know if the water you covered was a "quality stretch" or not.Ā Ā If you hit a stretch of river and didn't catch much......but you find yourself anxious to hit it again after the next high water event..... then you probably are capable of recognizing a truly good piece of water.Ā Ā Keep hitting it, and eventually you'll unlock its secrets.Ā Ā The "BEST" river, or stretch of river, isn't going to be one where getting bit by multiple 18-20" smallmouth easily, on the same day, can be expected.Ā Those places don't exist here. That's my take on it anyway.Ā Ā Ā Ā Al, just for conversation sake......What does Akers to Pulltite lack?Ā Ā Ā What could make it "the best"?Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Akers to Pulltite. Have spent allot of time there.Ā Itās top notch scenery but the fishing is poor. Trout donāt seem to like it, and neither do the smallmouth. The Niangua could be a top notch river but it suffers badly from human overuse and agriculture. It hasnāt been raped and torturedĀ as badly as the Courtois, Huzzah, and Meramec between Hwy 19 and the Caverns, but itās not far off the mark. Think that 90% of the people problem would go away if we got rid of raft rentals. The AG use and developmentĀ problems are much bigger.Ā fishinwrench and jfrith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
