  1. Depends on what type of fishing you want to do. Assuming you're going to be using spinning equipment, Zone 2 just above the whistle bridge is a good spot for kids. Lots of fish and a nice long hole. You'll want UL or at least light spinning gear capable of casting the small jigs required for trout fishing. Rooster tails tend to work well too. If your bait fishing Z3 is your only choice. The Suzy hole is a good place to fish if that's your preference. Stop by Weavers tackle and they can give you some good tips on what's working and what gear you need. 3 lb test is my preferred line if I was to use a spinning rig. Just let the kids have a good time. Catching fish is always better for kids though. So try to listen to the people that fish there often. I haven't used a spin rig in close 15 years so I can't help a ton. But it's not rocket science. Make sure your kids are aware of fly fisherman and their back cast. A hook in the ear or worse can ruin a trip in a hurry. Fishing from the bank puts you in a bad spot more so while fishing around people fly fishing.
  2. Unconditional lifetime warranty????????
  3. Who is in charge of seeing that all of the facilties are up to standard???? Maybe it's time to put some money back into the park instead of putting it all in their pocket.
  4. Well it was a good time like usual. Lots of food,lots of fish, and lots of BS. Thanks for making it down again guys!! Hopefully I can have that time off again next year for another trip. But then again, maybe the week after Labor Day the weather would be a little cooler.
  5. Did you get a spot in CG 1 ??? Or are you shooting for 5???
  6. Yeah,the weather looks like it's gonna be the best it's been down there in a while. Be nice to have a campfire maybe on a cool evening.
  7. Remington 870's are Pump action.
  8. Just talked to the bro he'll bring the fryer and we can do wings and fries one night. maybe saturday since it'll be crowded anyway.Start about 5 or so. I'll be down Thursday Eve or early Friday morning.
  9. Wrench, it seems like there are a ton more people fishing from the bank now in Z1 and Z2. They are all pretty much spin fishing and almost all of them are keeping a limit of fish if they catch them, I've actually had to move downstream of the Holland Dam to fish because the hole by the gauge house area had too many people fishing from the bank. So yeah, there seem to be more people keepng fish in Z1 and Z2 also.
  10. Well, hopefully if this is true, there will be somebody who isn't another crony of the JR money machine that takes over. Bennett is long over due to have someone that has the best interest of the public and the park instead of the concessionaire.
  11. She looks like more of a Zonker type of gal.
  12. Beers all gone. Sorry!!
  13. I'll be down either the 27th that evening or the morning of the 28. Turn my A/C on would ya!!!!! LOL
  14. So Pat, Your saying your going down on the 26th through the 1st????
  15. PW'd. ??????? LOL...... Good luck with that Pat. I'd go and send Her a post card. But then again I'm not the one that stayed married as long as you have. ?
  16. Wings as long as we use peanut oil and Pat don't get in a big butt hurry!!!! LOL
  17. Pat, I'm about as PW'd as you are an Obama fan. As far as making it down I'm still not sure yet. Lots of hours at work lately and not much free time in the windshield that I can see. Has anyone set a date yet???? Upstream can't remember his log in info so he is out of the loop. He suffers from CRS.
  18. It was hot last weekend and the waiter was higher. What makes you think this weekend will be better???? It was packed last weekend too.
  19. Strange things happen at 2 in the morning. Just sayin!!! If the trailer isn't worth much then get your belongings and call it a day.
  20. Don't use bait period....... No matter how above fishing in the trout parks you are or wherever.....bait fishing kills more fish than artificial lures. Plain and simple. If you want to cut down on killing fish quit using bait. Trout or any other fish usually caught on bait are more likely to die when they swallow the hooks.
  21. I don't hunt lunkers. I just happen to catch them on occasion. I fish what the fish are keying in on and I figure sooner or later if you catch enough fish 1 of them is going to be a big one.
  22. Too many septic tank systems leaching into the ground water.
  23. You just have to cast very smoothly.
  24. The rules say single hook. It doesn't say how many you can use. I fish doubles all the time. Fish an attractor up front with a natural in tow. Unweighted on the second fly of course. Put some floatant on it to ride up a little higher than the first fly. Keep the length between flys to 12" or less. You'll miss a ton of strikes if you don't.
