Fly Fishing Adventures
Jeff’s summaries of his fly fishing exploits.
Fly Fishing at Roaring River State Park – Cassville, Missouri
I’ve got a little spot for you…a secret, there is a little 4 mile stretch of Missouri water that is a real gem; springs from above pour cool water into the Roaring River and thus was born one of the four Missouri trout parks. The others are Montauk, Bennet and Meremac…all located in the central […]
