We constantly get questions about our big fish.
Not just how and why we have so many fish over 18″ but also where all the little ones are. And where do they live? And, why don’t we catch any little trout?
All great questions. Do we know where and why and how of the small trout? No not really.
They may live up the creeks until they make their way into the big Mo.
We would know more but since we rarely catch the juniors here.
If you want to catch smaller trout you may have to go to other rivers.
But having said that, our boy Danny manhandled this mini trout at the boat ramp trolling it in yesterday.
Nice and small. A rarity here fishing Montana’s Missouri River.
In the long run the little ones are the real trophies… They are the true indicators of the health of the
…..ENTIRE fishery…. Love the little guys
My buddy picked up a little brookie under below the bridge in Craig a few weeks ago. Never saw a brook in the MO before. Funny thing is it hit a 3″ streamer and it was 7″ long.
