New Winter Carp Spot Near St. Louis

After striking out on several spots in the St. Louis Area this Winter, I finally went to Winfield Lock and Dam at the end of January. Cold as it was, there were still carp biting in the channel that empties out into the river and it seems to be pretty consistent in the winter.

Big Winter Fish on the Meramec

I went to the only place that I know with fish at this time of the year, the lower Meramec. Its the deepest part of the river in that area and fish tend to gather in the slow, deep, water when the weather is cold. I managed to get 4 buffalos in two days but nothing else. But it was still fun to catch fish after so long.
