> Actually this trip was not for fishing. I went back to Jefferson City, Missouri for my grandson’s graduation. But we did take time for a little FlyFishing at the very scenic Bennett Springs State Park. The stream comes from a huge artesian well and the water is clear and looks similar to what you would find with the Wild River region of the northwest. But the action you get from a planted rainbow just can’t compare to the thrill of fighting a wild steelhead or salmon.
