Brick House Slough is a stream located in Missouri, near Alton, forming part of the Upper Mississippi River system in Pool 26. It serves as an important backwater habitat that wraps around Dresser Island. Once a deep flowing chute, this slough has undergone significant environmental changes over the years, including the construction of a levee system that now encircles the island complex to control sedimentation in the interior sloughs. The area has historical significance in the fishing community, having been the site of the 1991 Bassmaster Illinois Invitational tournament, which was won by pro angler Woo Daves using large plastic worms.
