re: Maramec Spring park fishing in Missouri advice

There's a lot to do in that area. They'll release the trout, you can't fish until a horn sounds, then it's a mess if it's crowded. You could canoe or kayak south of the park and catch some trout, smallmouth, bream, etc. Float trips usually have the rivers packed with drunk kids. Best during the week for sure. I grew up going to Steeleville a whole bunch and I miss the good old days.
