Nice to hear they caught several nice ones. Any knowledge On IF this just a little cleaning up or more?

Somebody.....Anybody????

May be takin a first timer fly fishin at BPS this weekend. Any body been fishin in the last month? Curious as to changes dredging has made.

We stayed at Rim Shoals and agree they are good people and great place to stay

Nice to hear when boaters take into consideration the waders. Thanks Gatorjet!

Nice fish! All trophies in my book!

Gorgeous fish!

Neat. My son wants a gopro for fly fishing. Any recommendations on basically functional model he needs or what one to stay away from? Whats ur model?

Had a similar bowhunt to ur situation wrench. Watched a fawn and a fox play for half an hour 30 yds from me. Fox would hide under blowdown and then jump out onto log and mess with the fawn. Some of my best hunts resulted in no harvest.

I have a Sage GFL 680 fly rod for sale or trade. Rare excellent condition with original tube. Original Winslow Manufacturing Company. Very hard to find in this condition. B6748 serial number. Looking for a 9' 4 or 5 wt. Can send pics on request.

Is the 8th spot still open? I'm in if so. Haven't been able to get on this website for months. Kept gettin a error timed out page.

If you do get the chance to go be sure and keep us posted. We've never been there but hope to hit it in the next month or two. Gotta go somewhere as I dont think I can wait till our November trip to a North Carolina. Long time for no fly fishin.

My son is a guide out of Bryson City N.C. and he says the hardest thing to get his clients to do is be quick and maintain line pressure. Says hard to believe how quick the brooks r. Enjoy! Look forward to ur reports. We r heading out there in October.

Sorry I forgot to get back to this. My computer is down so cant post actual reply from MDOC but it said that yes it is legal to fish 2 flies in mo trout parks.

So did this shake things up? Thinking about making the 4 hour one way drive todo some wade fishin this weekend. Wondering if it might be better to hold off for another weekend.

He spent the other day with oars in hand. Lookin Forward to drift fishin when we go out. Only fly fished out of a bass boat in still water so really lookin forward to it. Did I jus say lookin forward to it twice? Yep sure did and sure am!

Yep he's having a lot of fun. We r letting him get his feet under him and gonna go out there for a week or 2 this fall. Gonna b a long summer waitin . Did u float or wade on ur trip?

Yep that would be the one! He's lovin it. And so am I. Hes been flyin since he was out of diapers. Fishin reports and stories daily. Talk about living life through ur kids I'm doin it! Beautiful area and an excellent guide co to work for. Oh to be young again.

I sent an email to MDC. I'll post their response.

Spoon- I should of thought about what I said. Ur correct it's if it doesn't say u can u can't. Laker-it is easy to snag urselfthis way. Son snagged his thumb with fish flopping in the net. Luckily we pretty much use barbless hooks anymore so it came out easy. Two hooks does increase the odds of snagging or foul hooking a fish but very seldom seems to happen to us. U will never see any of my family intentionally trying to snag fish although u will see it by others at bennett. Saw a fella do I. It one time and mentions to him politely that it was illegal and he told me to mind my own business!

BK & Mo I've always thought that to be correct. Just would like to find it in print. Guess it falls under the pretense if it doesn't say you can't do it you can. Brother-in-laws are pretty hard to convince if it's not in black and white. Guess I need to put the burden of proof on him and have him show me where it says you can't!

Brother-in-law insists it's illegal to use 2 flies at once at Bennett. Is this correct and if so or not where can I find this in print? I've seen people do it but that doesn't mean it's legal. You could probably getaway with giggin at the whistle bridge.

Just found this post and was wondering how your trip went. My son just started guiding out there a couple weeks ago. Really cool as I get new fishin reports with a phone call every evening!

Beautiful fish!

Fungisoleechious! Hadn't caught one marked like that before.
