Last night I was checking out a new park that Saint Charles is putting in at the confluence of Dardenne Creek and the Missouri River. Met a young guy who was setting up his fly rod so I engaged him in conversation. He was fishing for carp! Evidently it's sort of catching on. He also mentioned that there was a pretty good population of white bass and freshwater drum in that area.

As if I needed another hobby! They like white fluffy jigs evidently. His web site is Riverkingfishing.com so I visited it last night. It's sparse, but he's just starting and it looks like I'm living in decent fly fishing country.
