If I was you, I'd sell them anyway and buy some more fishing stuff. Or use the money to buy gas to drive to the trout streams.

It's not that close. 13 miles from home to the dam. Didn't see any cutts.

Vicki "Hartzler and her husband own a farm equipment business and a farm where they grow corn and soybeans. She received more than $770,000 in farm subsidies over the past 15 years, according to the Environmental Working Group, a Washington advocacy group that collects and analyzes farm subsidy data." "GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, an outspoken critic of farm payments, listed between $15,000 and $50,000 in farm income as one source of revenue on her personal financial disclosure statement last year, citing a Bachmann family farm in Independence, Wis., as an asset. That farm, which was owned by her father-in-law, received more than $250,000 in subsidies over the past 15 years, according to the Environmental Working Group." Farm Bill?

Well, I woke up at 4:30 this morning and decided it was time to go out and do some fishing. I went to the Norfork River just below the dam and hooked my first fish at 6:23 AM. I was the only person out there. I managed to catch quite a few rainbows and one brown. Seen a real nice brookie swimming around my feet and it kept following me down river like it was my pet. Must have been kicking up some breakfast for him. I couldn't see what he was chowing on, but it felt good to see a nice brookie like that. Anyhoo, here's a pic of the brown and a sample of the 'bows I was catching.

What has the world come to? Now we have pistol packin' Crickets running around. God (invisble cloud being or whatever) help us all.

If I don't end up sleeping till 1:30 tomorrow afternoon, ask me tomorrow night.

What's wrong with a little meat with your veggies?

I blame that on all the wasted energy of some of these posts.

$7.99

But how ya gonna catch fish if they can't spell??

Oh really?????? Are you one of them "Log Cabin" republicans too?

What ever happened to "Rednecks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer"? Or am I just aging myself with that one?

That kind of humor might get you canned from the forum.

Cast them down and across and let them swing in the current. When they get below me I'll let them hang for as long as 30 seconds and strip them in using short jerky retrieves. I only strip about 3 feet and then pick up and recast. If the current speed is not moving fast enough, I start stripping them in immediately after letting them sink a little. If the current speed is higher, I use an upstream mend to let them sink before the current pulls them. I also try to make a few casts in one area and take a step or two downstream trying to cover as much water as possible. This is kinda hard though when it comes to combat fishing situations where moving downstream would put me into someone elses fishing area.

Woolybuggers, woolybuggers and more woolybuggers. That is about the only fly I use and it works prety darn good for me on the White and Norfork.

A Google search for "CDC Nymphs" and "CDC Wet Flies" came up with quite a few patterns you could check out.

So what is "your" problem?

As long as the waders are only hippers.

"Phil Shuts Em Down When Conservatives Speak" Sure sounds political to me.

How about a "Click Here" button to win an all expense paid trip to Branson and a day of fishing on Tanney?

Or the wrong side either.

You mean to tell me he likes Obama?

I opted for the manual CO2 inflation. Just pull the rip cord and it inflates. From what I've heard, a bit of rain will not inflate the auto models. They have to actually get pretty wet to inflate.

Here are a couple of pics from the Pigeon Creek area of Lake Norfork when it was about 9.5 feet below the bottom of flood pool. The first pic shows the "flat" running along the shoreline. It pretty much runs the whole length of the creek arm here. The second pic is of a "flat" on a point.

When? Where?
