On a lighter note, The Missouri Department of Conservation and the James Foundation are sponsoring a Kids' Fishing Day at Meramec Spring on Saturday May 19. Free food, drawings, and contests will be available. If you live in the St. Louis or St. James area and have kids, then this could be a great opportunity to make some fishy memories.
