Take the boat. Get a GOOD bug flipn stick and go later in the summer (July). had my first experience with fly fishing last summer on the big MO. what a blast!!!! I had never fly fished. I am already planing this summers trip. the bug hatches are better when the weather is warmer. we fished near a small town called Wolf Creek. great little tackle shop that does shutle service and can get you going on the local streams.
