Very interesting, so the Mississippi below Alton (the last lock and dam going south), is a great fishery. But, once you get downstream from the Stl. Meto area there are only a few launch points at least on the IL side.
Never understood this, I know southern Illinois is not as highly populated south of St Louis, but the upper part of the Mississippi (in IL) has many more launch areas. Seems they’re missing out on some great recreational opportunity down there…
It’s like they thought without all the locks and dams that no one is interesting in recreational boating…
