Brown Trout
While southwest Missouri isn't typically known as a trout mecca, there are a few hidden gems, and the streams around Monett can offer a shot at brown trout. While not abundant, small pockets of the Spring River and its tributaries are stocked and can hold some decent-sized browns. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, especially in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are more favorable. Focus on areas with good cover, such as undercut banks, overhanging vegetation, and deeper pools. Stealth is key, as these trout can be easily spooked in the clear water. Try using small spinners, spoons, or nymphs. Access can be a bit challenging in some areas, so be prepared for some walking. Check the Missouri Department of Conservation stocking reports before you go to see where recent releases have occurred. A 5 or 6 weight rod will be plenty for the streams in this area.
