Fly Fishing Adventures
Jeff’s summaries of his fly fishing exploits.
Fishing in Missouri’s Wine Country
If wine is your ‘cup of tea’….then St. James, Missouri might just be a destination; I will add that not only is the famous winery located here at exit 195 on I-44 just west of St. Louis, but there is also some very good fishing. Meramec Spring Park is also just a few miles down […]
