Browns on the Straight

[Guest]

Anyone here news on how the browns in the Straight River are biting? Suggestions on flys, etc.

Hey Jgunny, have not been up that way since the beginning of august, but in the past I have had my best luck using a 1/6 white rooster tail. There are good numbers of small fish for a couple miles down from Osage, but my personal best came from the strech upstream from the Church a couple gravel roads west of HWY 71. I dont remember the name of the church but if your from the area you will have no problem finding it. That particular browner was 20.5" inches long and very stocky, I caught him on a rapala retrieved very quickly through the head of a large run that had some fast water coming into it. You can catch them at just about every bridge crossing all the way down to HWY 71. I have not done any fly fishing on the straight most of the river it to confining for my inacurate casting. Good Luck and let us know how you do.
