On a trip to central Missouri in March, I caught a nice 16 inch small mouth bass on the Niangua River. I used my glasses that have the video camera in them to capture the action. I am using an all yellow half and half fly by Lefty Kreh and Bob Clouser. You can Google how to tie the fly or I may put it a ‘how to tie video’ on this website in the near future. I think you can pick up some hints on fishing this type of bigger water. The fish on this night were very aggressive and made for a few days of super fishing.
