Spring River and Noblet Lake 5/21 and 5/22/2005

Where: Spring River and Noblet Lake Met up with FiveWeight from the OzarkChronicles board at 6am. From there we had a good 2 hour drive to the Spring River in Northern Missouri. The Spring River starts at the Mamoth Springs. We got on the river about 9am at Dam 3 Access, just has the canoe companies were unloading dozens of canoes. We floated to the first island were we ditched the boat and wet waded. It took a while to find out what the fish wanted. Not suprisingly it was olive mohair leeches. We fished leeches the rest of the entire day, picking up a couple of fish here and there. Overall together we landed at least 30 trout and lost some nice ones along the way. We also managed a remarkable 5 doubles. We arrived at the Riverside campground around 7pm to catch a shuttle back to the car. All in all it was a great day. Sunday we woke early and headed north to Noblet lake, which is near West Plains. We fished near the lilley pads and cover for chain pickerel. FiveWeight had caught a couple of 20 inchers on previous trips. Unfortunately we only landed on 10 incher a piece and missed some others little guys. Good all around trip and I hope to do it again.
