He works the bait by twitching it like a Spook and letting it sit.

This imitates a dying baitfish until it is attacked by a nearby smallie. As the day progresses, Goff ties on yet another lure, a small crankbait like the Wiggle Wart in a crawfish pattern. Goff claims that a flash of chartreuse really gets the smallmouth fired up. As the shadows lengthen and the float trip is nearing its end, Goff again switches back to the Fluke. Goff prefers medium-action bait-casting gear.

When throwing the Fluke, he uses pound-test line to keep the bait from sinking too fast and switches to pound line when using jigs and crankbaits. Goff switches to spinning gear later in the summer and is forced to downsize his baits to fool the wary smallmouths that have been subjected all spring to every lure known to man and fish. That is what makes the fishing so good up there. For anglers without a boat or canoe, wading is an option. Goff recommends the access by the Route 28 bridge.

An angler can gain access and wade upriver. Girondo is a self-proclaimed wade-angler. He recommends beaching the boats or canoes and wading the heavy riffle areas with the good habitat, slowly fishing and targeting the riffles. Girondo's secret to catching Gasconade smallies: "Slow down. If the habitat is there, the fish are there. Whether they want to bite or not is the question," he said. A landowner may have a different opinion of the term trespassing, whereas an angler wading along the bank may see no harm in what he or she is doing.

In , the Missouri Supreme Court ruling of Elder vs. Delcour affirmed that there is a public right to fish the Meramec River. This ruling has been extended to other floatable waterways as well. In accordance with this ruling and to remain compliant with the law, floaters must gain access to the river by way of public access or through permission of a landowner, and portages around unsafe waters are included in this ruling.

The fact that a river or stream is floatable doesn't give a wading angler the right to trespass without the landowner's permission, nor does the establishment of the SMA give anglers the right to infringe on the landowner's property without his or her permission. The SMA has plenty of MDC-maintained accesses, as well as private assesses where a nominal fee is charged to launch your boat or canoe.

It is available at most area bookstores or through the MDC. The SMA on the Gasconade is as close to heaven as a smallmouth angler might ever get, so hook up the boat, throw the canoe on top of the car and cut off those old jeans.

You might find that "Heaven" is right in the middle of Missouri. Give a Gift Subscriber Services. See All Other Magazines. See All Special Interest Magazines.
