First time down to niangua with kayak. Fished that river my whole life so should be fun once i figure it out again. Starting at confluence of Bennett and headed down past the island below Bennett access launch. White Silverado if you are in the area say hello

Could be a big brown, rainbow, or smallmouth bass! Can't  wait to see what you might land in that stretch.

Caught some monster smallies down there this time of year ... Hope a brown has made residence along the bluff there

I'm interested to hear how it goes.   My daughter and I were going to hit that stretch yesterday but we got a late start so we just did some dry fly experimenting in the park. 

No browns in the spring branch at all, so I suspect that they skipped the annual stocking of browns in the river as well.  Hope you prove me wrong. 👍

Maybe there are some large holdovers 😁

My last Niangua Brown.   Jan. 2020 

Haven't caught one from the Niangua since. 🙄 

In the past they would stock browns right around the opening day of Deer firearms season.   They didn't last year I don't think, and I haven't seen anything suggesting that they have this year either.

I looked all over the internet and called a guy and no one knows anything about it. They both said they are stocked annually in the fall usually . I bet there are some hiding in there. I'll just have yo sort through all the smallies 😁

The mdc says good prospects for 14 to 16 inch browns for 2022
