Getting ready for an 8 hour float trip with classmates for our 20 year reunion. A few of the fellas have decided to hold a little fishing derby along the way. Can't go wrong with spinners in the clear cold creek!

you should put a whoopin on them

Those will catch em'! My first pick would be the upper left silver.

Are there smallmouth/rock bass in this creek? If so, be sure to take along some all white and all black with just a little flash, they will save the day if the bite is off. And make a bunch to take along... floating by you may not have time to free snags.

Excellent jigs – weight(s)? and hook & blade sizes?

Thanks guys. We'll be on the Niangua River in Missouri. Loaded with bass and goggle eye and several trout as well. All white with some flash is a great idea for this cold water. I usually have a hard time going Plain Jane with all of the colors there are to choose from, but I am going to try!! Led these are all 1/16 oz. #4 hooks and blades are #0 with a small #00 middle right. Will make a few 1/32 oz as well.

All good jigs. Good luck with the fishing. That has to be fun getting together with your classmates for a 20 year reunion float trip. Hope all of you have a great time.

I hope y'all have some money bet on the fishing derby. You're fixin to get richer! I love those belly spinners. You should tear them up with a small ultra-lite spinning rod.

Some one has got to show how to tie the spinners onto the hook or just show a pic before the spinner is covered.

you are headed to the Niangua with the rivers you have available to you closer:huh: LOL

Those jigs look great you should rake them in.

I would have chosen Indian Creek around Noel, but decided to go with the flow. Not looking forward to driving 1 1/2 hours to float! What do you recommend for this weekend? I'm on vacation next week and looking for some good wade fishing!
