Greg C Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 When I was there, baits that worked well were clear chartreuse twistertail grubs with metal flake, clear Olive twistertail with metal flake, chartreuse topwater baits, and I had some success with my pearl sparkleminnow. The fish in these waters were very touchy about color. Floater/diver baits should work well. A lot of deep holes, interspersed with long fast water runs with lots of wood cover. The water's clear so flouro lines would definitly not hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary L Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Here are a few sites that give some details on the Big River and the Mineral Fork branches off it. The Missouri Department of Conservation also has an Ozark Smallmouth Bass Fishing map that give good info. http://southwestpaddler.com/docs/meramec3.html http://www.missouricanoe.org/river-maps/big.html The map shows the river and can be obtained from the MDOC at P.O.
