My favorite stream in Missouri. I like running the Mepps with either a 2'' curly tail grub ot a 2'' paddle tail on it. The Nikko hellgramites are deadly.
I’ve been to Route 66 several times as well!!! Andy is great he sends out Christmas cards every year....that stretch of the big piney has some MASSIVE smallmouth....I’ve fished hundred of miles in Missouri and for quality that’s where I go.
@@bigmofishing where do you put in at my buddy told me go in at mason bridge and pull out at slab town I Can’t find slab town or mason bridge on my phone just wondering how you go in and out
Thank you! I couldnt agree more! Unfortunately I will not be making videos for a bit. Had to sell my recording equipment and baby due in april! I'll be back eventually!
My kid has never floated or caught a smallie, i wanna take him on this river but none of the canoe rental outfitters will even call me back or let me know if it’s available!! Where did you float from? Do you know any reputable places to rent from?
So this stretch if from Route 66 canoe rental. Amazing stretch of river to float and fish, i've fished with Andy (name of owner) for 10 years or so now. To be honest, I'll probably never go back there though, just dont like the quality of service anymore.
BigMOFishing seems the quality of service everywhere is lacking down there! You have been the only one to respond hehe. Are there any places to rent a canoe that doesnt suck? Or a decent stretch to wade/walk around and fish? We are headed that way Sunday night and planning on fishing all day Monday if i have to just start walking the dang river! Just need a good start point.
@@aaronturner3498 are you going on the big piney? If so route 66 canoe rental is great for last min trips, he's pretty flexible. Just not worth camping there anymore.
BigMOFishing thanks for the recommendation man my son and I had a blast today! Andy was great and got us on the water fairly early.We caught about 25 fish several different species and yes he got his first smallie!
