Lost gear on Butler Lake

[riversrun]

Went there yak fishing first time last Sat. It was so windy and I lost my favorite bass pro rod along the east edge of the lake. It was a one piece 5'6 micro light IM 6 light action with their cheap quick draw spinning reel. Hope some of you regularly fish there and come across it. There will definitely be a reward if it is found.

I had my cheap depth finder and lake is a shallow one. Tried the bridge pillars but nothing there.

Ther is a MO fishing Facebook page.  Someone posted about gear found, but no area information was given.  May try to post on there.

It's been years since I thought of the Butler Lakes. Thirty years ago it was a dump site for  construction debris, tires, and old appliances. Have they cleaned it up? Used to have a bunch of carp, buffalo & gar.

Unfortunately a lot of people still seem to dump their fishing trash around there, when they go. In my experience they still have a lot of carp in there. That’s what I have the most luck with there. Can be fun. Occasionally still can find some gar, crappie, bass and such in there too, at least last few times I fished it regularly. Got to make it out there again soon.
