Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Brentwood requires a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be worth it. Focus your attention on the Meramec River, a classic smallmouth stream. It's best accessed by floating; several outfitters near the river offer canoe and kayak rentals. The section of the Meramec near Pacific, Missouri, is a popular starting point. Target rocky areas, riffles, and deeper pools with crankbaits, tubes, or topwater lures. Smallmouth fishing is typically best in the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Pay attention to water clarity; clear water is essential for success. A Missouri fishing license is required, and it's always a good idea to check river levels before heading out, as high water can make floating dangerous.
