Whetstone Creek CA, Callaway County, MO, June 10th 2009: Creek up, black spinners seemed to work well




As you noticed, the title says "seemed" to work well.....we caught a few fish in Whetstone Creek, and as you can tell, it was up and muddy....like fishing in chocolate milk. The reason I used "seemed" is this is the hole that I caught a 15.5" Longear Sunfish a few years ago. That is a huge size for a longear. Come to find out the Missouri state record comes from Whetstone in regards to longears. It was great hiking in to the spot, so the few fish I caught were worth the hike anyhow.
Used a black rooster tail and a brown rooster tail. Also used black jigs on a fly rod and caught a few that way as well. This is one of my favorite conservation areas in the state....acres upon acres of gorgeous land, lakes and streams. We have even camped here in the past....very primative.
Fish ON!

May Fishing 2009: Missouri River a little slow, Lake Sherwood (Warren County) starting to turn on with Red Ear Sunfish

















Was a little lazy in regards to posting on this web site..........a few highlights from May. Charlie caught a Sturgeon on the Missouri River, and we all went out to Lake Sherwood in Warren County and loaded up on Red Ear Sunfish....would have more details if I could remember...will post more in the future:)

Fish ON!
