The Roaring Roubidoux

by Dan Slais

The Roubidoux Creek is one of many tributaries of the Gasconade River that adds water from the Texas and Pulaski counties of Missouri.  Each stream has its own ecosystems and its own personality. In the author’s 30 years of experiences on the Roubidoux, he has seen only a fraction of the stories it can tell. Just as we all describe situations differently, the author conveys his perspective in a beautifully descriptive manner.  From history to fishing, he skillfully uses real stories to convey and explain key concepts that are designed to help the reader experience the full and unique essence of this beautiful creek.
