  1. How did your trip go?
  2. Cut the cord man. I appreciate you being all about your family, but a few nights away scattered throughout the year don't make you a deadbeat Dad. Millions of Americans spend almost every night away from their children working 2 nd or 3 rd shift. I'm glad you don't have to do that. it sounds like your son is going to be a focal point of your life. That's a good thing. I guess we shouldn't count on you for jigfest.
  3. I'm really looking forward to it. My barge will have 2 open seats.
  4. Does it have to have electricity? How much are the boat storage places getting per month?

    Jig Fest 2016

    Ok cool. I'll take some vacation time and plan on it.
  6. I would have been satisfied with a few stores having a lot of friends in the fishing business and fishing fantastic places all over the world. I'm not much of a megalomaniac though.

    I prefer 12/3
  8. I don't see an upside to a Bass Pro takeover of Cabela's. I expect Cabela's clothing quality to suffer.

    Ok, I work the weekend of 11/19-20 and again on 12/17-18. Other than that I'll do my best to be there.

    Jig Fest 2016

    An awesome get together of OA guys on the White River . Usually between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Usually slinging mostly jigs at trout, but not required to fish jigs. Usually plenty of boat seats, plenty of food, and plenty of good company/ good times. The only downside is not being able to fish with everybody.

    There are AT least 20 people I have met thru OA that I would rather be President than any of the folks still in the race. I'm so disgusted over what's coming down the road.
  12. There are hybrids in Truman? Who knew. ?
  13. Hard for me to tell how big that one is really. I'm sure I've caught some 12 inch ones. I'll have to start measuring I guess.

    Jig heads

    Somebody should snap these up.
  15. PM Mr Babbler and ask his advice.
  16. That's my best guess, but don't bet your life on it.
  17. I think it takes 6 hours BUT you need to make sure you know when they started generating. They only give the value at the top of the hour so IF they started running water at say 12:15, you won't see that until 1 pm but the water sure gets there earlier than you expected. I use 5 hours as my guess. Get the phone number to Rim Shoals fly shop. For a nominal fee, they will water taxi you to safety IF you get caught by high water. Get to the island IF you aren't sure you can make it to mainland. Check during the day to see when water started. Remember the caveat.
  18. I did not catch any my last few trips, but it is that time of year. The lamprey were here before the trout. The adult lamprey feed for a few months parasitically and then spawn and die. The population is self limiting in that regard. I don't harm the lamprey that fall into my boat, but that being said they are creepy as all get out.
  19. Brown trout teeth are sharp
  20. This was the rainbow caught the next cast after the crappie.
  21. Warm water fish
  22. A couple from Bookievillie
  23. Windflowers line the banks too.
