Missouri Fishing on the Upper Meramec |
We feature a wide variety of floating services on the beautiful Upper Meramec River. This stretch of the Meramec is among the top three rivers in Missouri for smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing.
We offer floats from 4 to 21 miles through a trophy smallmouth and floats from 4 to 14 miles through 9 miles of trophy trout waters which are located just below Meramec Spring Park. Catfish, goggle eye, crappie, bluegill and many species of non-game fish are abundant. We also now offer gigging trips -- click here to see more!
