I visited a state park in Missouri today that the Meremac river runs through. It has a nice beach and swimming area that the wife and my step daughter could swim and lay out while me and my step son walk down river to fish. We both enjoy the thrill of catching catfish. The problem is I have very little experience fishing on rivers. I assume you look for deep holes, but I don't know how to spot them. There also is a spring fed creek that empties into the river just up river from the beach. Would this be a good spot. I am looking for some advice on how to find a good place on a river to fish. And also should we rig our lines any differently than we do for lake fishing?
