    Talking Missouri Blue Ribbon Adventure

    Gonna get some time on the water this weekend.

    Trip starts out Sunday morning meeting a friend at Roaring River State park to fish for the day. Sort of a brush the rust off kinda day. The wife and daughter and I are getting up early Sunday to drive 2 hrs to fish for the day. Drive home and sleep for the night.

    Wife and daughter head off to work/school Monday morning. That's my queue to head back down to southern MO for another day of fishing with my friend. We are meeting at Crane Creek to fish this little blue ribbon trout stream.

    The history I have gathered is that this stream was last stocked in the late 1800's with pure strain McCloud rainbow trout by rail car. It has been a self sustained trout stream ever since. From what I have read (don't hold me to this) it is one of only three pure-strains left in existence.

    It is a small spring creek and I am pretty excited to fish it, especially since it will be part of my first trout trip this year. I'll try to get some pictures and post them when I get back. Hopefully I'll have some luck and even hook up with a couple of these beautiful trout.

    Wish me luck.
