Last Songs of Summer

Enjoy a day full of fishing excitement on the Mudwater River! The river’s curvy west bank with its gently sloping shores and some sandy drop offs is beautifully outlined by some tall poplar trees and graciously sprawling willows. The jolly chirping of red cardinals and the buzzing of occasional flies will be the only things distracting you from that still silence of nature in its final days of summer. Indeed, surrounded by vast green plains, this particular area gives that open-space feel of freedom and tranquility we all lack in our daily megalopolis reality. It is here that you’ll find a magnificent fishing spot, perfect for catching Largemouth Bass, White Crappie or Grass Pickerel. And if you’re good enough, you might even land a Channel Catfish, silently lurking in deep underwater holes of the river’s muddy bottom…

Pike Challenge

As you move a bit further down the west bank of Mudwater River, walk past some bushy green shrubs to discover a gradually sloping, shallow area with a narrow strip of sandy shoreline. Here, right next to an old sunken log, you’ll find yet another excellent fishing location. So get out your fishing rod and try your luck at catching a Trophy Pumpkinseed or a juicy Grass Pickerel, as you rest your eyes on these ripply waters, meandering past endless green plains of Missouri and mirroring the deep blue of a late summer sky. Inhale the sweet scent of sun-scorched grass with an aftertaste of musky wet sand as you meditate patiently waiting for a good catch. And oh boy, the catch can be very satisfying! With Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel and White Crappie inhabiting this area, your day will be anything but boring.

Catfish Heaven

Mudwater River is much appreciated among anglers for its splendid population of a variety of aquatic dwellers and it’s varied underwater terrain makes the destination a sure favorite especially among bottom fishing enthusiasts. And this particular spot on the river’s east bank is a real Catfish jackpot. Here the earthen shore ends in a sharp drop-off and descends into the river’s blue waters of varied depth. Relax as you take in the splendid sunset view offered by this fishing spot, standing embraced by dense green thickets and you give in to your favorite hobby with noone and nothing but an old willow tree that stands still in neverending contemplation as a silent witness to your peaceful state of mind.
