Planning on riding the Katy round trip from Clinton in May. Are there places to fish along the way. I would not mind side trips for good fishing. Particularly interested in fly fishing opportunities.
thanks,

Hey Dart....probably the best fly fishing in Missouri would be in or around any of the state trout parks. Coming up from Texas, Roaring Rivers east of Joplin might be a good place to stop on your way to or from the Katy. Also, Bennett Springs west of Lebanon is between you and the Katy.

I've had good luck in both of these parks. The parks are good as well as in the stream just outside of the park. I seem to have better luck in the Niangua River just north of Bennett.

Dart....what Trek said, only the trout at Roaring River SP are part of a great hatchery system
and boy are they picky at what they even choose to nibble at. Worst part is the water's clear
and you can watch them evaluate your fly(s). May brother works for BassPro and is an avid
fisherman and that's what he said and I believe my brother. Mark of the Dalton Boys
