I have been wanting to float this creek since the first time I saw it.

Welcome to Show Me Creeks. I'm Larry and in this video we put in right here. This is Rippy Conservation We're floating down to Bertha Ford and this is Bryant Creek we haven't done this one yet, but I've had my eye on it for quite a while and Obviously, it's beautiful When you are here up here at the parking lot, you can see this bluff I'm about to float into and I've been wanting to fish this spot For probably about four years, you know So check it out that is amazing right out of the gate Well, we didn't make it very far. I'm just gonna pull it around right here myself I don't wanna get down there and shoved into something and Then have to get on the other side and get out anyway because that trees all the way across it now if that tree wasn't all Way across it. Yeah, I would shoot that. Yeah, I ain't trying to do all that stuff myself I'm sure some people would Come down here and struggle with this I don't care to drag it. I'd rather do that than risk breaking something or losing the camera find a good line to start and then Connect the dots, you know. Oh Yeah, oh and it got off. That's my first Bryant Creek smallmouth Starting to rain. That's unfortunate Forecast said no rain Couple of sprinkles ain't gonna hurt nothing. Hopefully it ain't raining upstream somewhere This is beautiful, geez, I love this like this right here Wow, that's tree is huge And it's wild. I mean, that's pretty fresh, too The leaves are still on there All right There it is first Bryant Creek smallmouth. This is very nice Actually nicer than I was thinking. It's different. I was thinking it's gonna be more Just gravel like that your typical Ozark stream which it kind of has that but it's got a lot of sand and then just a lot of rock kind of cool This area feels very remote I love it If you're into something like that, I would suggest this but again Today is Thursday so I Don't know how it is on the weekend or anything. I would think it's not horribly busy though But I don't know. All right, we have dragged some We had a portage around a tree once already But I mean, it's a price you pay for this, you know realistically like and I'm totally fine doing that kind of stuff To get out here and float on something like this even Hoping to see an eagle today. Just couldn't stop it. It's hilarious. I love it though Wow, dude, this is awesome Let's get this guy back. Oh Hold on there, bud We'll see you later Probably about 12 10 maybe all right. Well, we pull it over and I'll walk down here I just want to make sure we can get through that without any problems And just like I figured I wish I'd have brought my fishing pole to check this out with But I didn't Most of the time it sounds worse than it is Like but all that sounds this stuff Ain't even nothing really, this would probably be a good spot to wait and pull over a fish just before you go through it, but I'm not doing that. We got eight miles to do on here today and well, I'm just not gonna Pull over every time That it looks good because you'll never get out of here This is nice, huh? Oh First large mouth of the day People always ask why do you? Net that little fish. I don't I net the hooks, you know Toss it back. I ain't worried about that little fish But when it's flopping I am With a mouthful of trebles There's a good one. Look at that one right there was chasing it All right, if you ever get here apparently the left side is easier So if this guy told me that looks like it looks like it has more of a slope over here So let's give it a look. You have this little slope right here to kind of get back into the water over there. I Guess either way you could have went on around and got right in the water Either way is doable Well so far this is the first long slow pool Other than this we kind of at least had some moving water. Whoo Yes, good shape This looks really good. I want to turn around and fish this Hey, I definitely thought that was bigger Sound and everything Holy cow Little dude. All right, there it is. Not bad Stalky had some weight on it to be so tiny They're a lot of fun I'll take them some of my biggest topwater hits are been largemouth Let's get a guesstimate. I'd say at least 15 Yep, pretty much 15 Nice little largemouth. Let's toss it back Wasn't no three pounder, but I will take it 15 16 inch There's the best smallie of the day. Dang it ain't gonna show this thing's teeth, but I can tell you it's got some grippers Let's put it back Thought it was a car for a minute little dude There goes the Eagle there it is a little guy How does that Eagle took off that thing hit it? There it is back there There it is little dude All right, there we go hammered her toss it back here. Oh you want down the stream, okay There he is. Got a nice little spot here, bud. There it is. Nice little pattern There it is. Let's toss it back There's some huge bluffs down through here Love it. It's actually a great little float This was about eight miles, which to me is a little too much five miles is actually my preferred amount Looks like there's a couple of spots there. That's pretty bad. You have to drag it around one or two of them I'm just gonna go this way. It's gonna get smaller and you might have to drag it But I don't really know. It looked like a pretty straight shot through There's the bridge that looks like that's gonna do it we're gonna be getting out of here and I appreciate you watching Tell you what, it was very active up through there today. Let me see if I can't get a couple more I wish I wouldn't have lost that one. It was Very nice. I'm not going to say whoa Okay, I'm not going to sit here and say how big I thought it was but It was really nice. Holy cow Okay It's a pretty decent one and again right there's the bridge so I don't know how many I caught today a lot
