I'll have to get off my butt, and fish the Osage more, next spring. I spend too much time on the smaller streams playing with dinks.

I figured that I would have to move upstream quite aways to catch any wipers, whites or stripers. I've mainly fished in the Jeff. City area up to abouts 20 mi. upstream. Near Jeff. City, there is an old lock and dam, on the river. Most people come up from Osi-Mari CA, by boat and fish below it, for walleye, crappie, white bass. Access by land, is via private drive. I would love to fish it but, don't have a boat in Jeff. City. I've done mostly wade fishing on the Osage, when it is low. But, because of the various depth, was limited. I mainly fish the feeder streams of the Osage for smallies with decent success.

Almost forgot. I haven't caught any Asian carp yet. But have spooked a few in the shallows while wade fishing the Osage. Impressive.

When you canoe down from the dam. I take it you have a shuttle at the other end. Do you use your own canoe or is there a canoe/shuttle service? I have an inflatable kayak, that I have used on the Osage. My problem is I have to paddle back to where I put in.

Ok thanks. That's what I figured. I'll be talking to you when spring approaches, to see how your doing. Linhardt fishes the Osage also, I'll have to see how he does, come spring. Don't hesitate to post to this site. I'm interested in anything biting in the area. Thanks again.
