Since the Board is kinda slow lately, I'll throw this out there......
I'm going to visit the folks in late June for a week. Unfortunately, they don't live in Graeagle anymore, but have retired to SW Missouri, small town called Ava, east of Springfield.
I was suprised to discover that there are lots of trouting opportunities in the Ozarks of MO. What I've seen on the internet there are some beautiful trout streams only a couple hours from Ava, like the Current River for one.
I'm definitley saving a full day for fishing, so if anyone has some thoughts on where I should focus my research, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not hiring a guide, not looking to fish one of those big hydro tailwaters, and don't need to catch any monster brown trout. Just looking for an out of the way, scenic, wild trout stream where I might run into a few fish. Definitely don't mind hiking a few miles if needed. Smaller 3wt streams are fine too.
Thanks!
