I had another post about fishing on the lower illinois and it looks like that is going to be pretty tough for a while. I have been looking at Roaring River on the internet. Does anyone fish this area? Thanks.
Several of my buddies have been having fun down at Blue River in south central Oklahoma and have really enjoyed it. My son-in-law goes to Cassville Missouri every year for the last 15 years. I think it might be the same area you are talking about 'Roaring River'. When I have seen photos, it looks like people are 20 feet apart from each other and trying to use fly rods. Not my idea of what fly fishing should be. ...
That looks like some where I will avoid like the plague!!Several of my buddies have been having fun down at Blue River in south central Oklahoma and have really enjoyed it.

My Grandpa made the trip to Roaring River every year. As was stated in earlier posts, get away from where the crowd is and go downstream. I was kind of shocked at how many people were in the upper part, but if they had to walk aways down stream, they thinned out pretty quick.Thanks for the responses. Roaring river is the closest area to me and I am able to fish during the week so that might help. I will probably check it out but I appreciate the other suggestions. I have never fished the Blue so I will put that on my list. I am familiar with the LMF but it is pretty busy also. Thanks again.
