You're right..... they don't have a lot of forethought but lack of forethought doesn't get you out of criminal trouble either. College isn't 100% the way. I darn sure knew I couldn't afford to go to Arkansas or Mizzou and earn my degree in afterschool activities and day drinking which is a lot of what the "going to school to be doing something or figuring out who I want to be" entails. People in that boat just need to get 4-5 roomies, part time jobs and do it....no need to spend $300+ a credit hour to "C's get degrees your way to a Bachelor's in Astrology"

So we picked a public university in a liberal state and complained about their liberal bias? We picked a degree with almost non-existent ROI and complained about what they teach? I didn't even take English in College at Rolla.....I did have to take a speech class but my teacher was high as a kite most of the time and always talked about the illuminati and tupac. I also took a women in engineering class that was full of guys. Nerdy logic. My calc 1 teacher was a dude....my calc 3 teacher was a female. They just so happened to be the same person....guess what he/she was the best math teacher there and stuck strictly to teaching math. Made zero difference to me I was there to learn the material and maybe the only reason I learned it vs. trying to take it watered down at CC. CofO basically locks freshman on campus. I hear you can learn to take care of farm animals there too. Evangel shoves religion down your throat. University of Alabama only cares about football and siblings dating. The best thing about college is that nobody is forced to attend(at 18 years old your an adult). There is literally thousands of options to cover anything and everything(Trump University anyone). The go from nearly free to as expensive as you want. Almost nearly all of the costs are known upfront. You should have a good idea of your earning potential after graduation and live with your decisions. You can drop out anytime. You guys should quit complaining about colleges and start complaining about the employers that put out the silly requirements of a degree for non-degree'd jobs. Supply and demand.....without demand there will be no supply.

Degree only gets you the first or second job. After that its usually communication and/or networking.

Problem with putting fish guts back in the river is that its the number 1 complaint by people that don't understand fishing and ecology. The ten fold of people walking their dogs you speak of, they have kids/grandkids and they don't want their kids swimming/playing in nasty fish gut water, don't like the buzzards, don't like seeing fish guts, ect. But they will gladly go to any local lake and play in human sewage.

No clue. I know trout can be found from the dam down to beaver town but the upper most 7 miles is the better water. Certainly shad is in place and I would think other bait fish. Gates are open at Beaver enough since 2006 that there is certainly bait coming through the top too. I've been there and seen it. Water may be pulled from too deep and be devoid but shouldn't that effect all the WRL tailwaters to some degree? There's a few browns every year caught or shocked up that are big but nothing compared to the white or Taney for a heck of a lot less pressure.

Don't quote me exact...but I think since 2006.

You guys want to see what a slot limit does at a trout park go on down to Beaver Tailwaters. Protected 13-16" slot 5 fish limit 1 fish over 16" 100K fish stocked yearly Maybe half(or less) of the pressure per mile of any of the trout parks. Lots of baby fish, lots of 13-16" fish. Very little rainbows over 16" and nearly zero chance at a trophy sized rainbow.

Bummer......based on my knowledge of the trout parks.....the only thing anyone cares about is the fish cleaning station. Its complained about non-stop on the facebook pages once they were closed and still complained about on the roaring river page cause people think its too far out of the way.

Think she would complain on facebook non-stop about not having a cleaning station?

Or cut pay, mandatory layoffs, "right sizing the business", postpone yearly performance salary adjustments then in Q1 have record sales, record profit, increase dividend 10% and yearly raises of 1.4% after being labeled Key Contributor. Been there done that.

I agree with you at RR.

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaha

It would take someone that regularly fishes all the parks but I would say RRSP isn't nearly what it was pre-hatchery closing for upgrades. A guy can go and catch lots of 8-12" fish but lunkers/browns are very few and far between. My only problem with the urban trout program is that they put in any lunkers. I just don't understand why you would put the bigger fish out there to potentially die if they survive the winter. fill those ponds up with stockers and keep the lunkers in the river where they can survive.

Cape Fair Jenkins Golden Eagle Rock Carr Lane Shell Knob Beaver Busch Viola Blue Eye Lampe Lots of options to make her feel at home and still near the lake.

RRSP cant participant.......they would have to actually have a working hatchery been subsidized by the other hatcheries for 3+ years.

Yep...not a single item at either location has gotten any cheaper either. They wont have any problem passing on cost increases too. Profit must increase at all costs.

I think its funny that large corp. like Walmart and McDonalds and other chain restaurants are struggling to find people. Companies that profit hundreds of millions(if not Billions) pay out hundreds of millions if not billions to shareholders yet in turn they offer $300 sign on bonus for a $10/hr job at 24-36 hrs a week. What a joke.

I follow half a dozen facebook groups for the area and all the guides are saying they are catching fish that way but I'm not seeing it. Last year you could sit on a point and see 30 "Swirls" over a 30 minute period and chase them but nothing really this year.

Put in at Indian Creek and headed south this morning pre-daylight. Goal was to be around point 5 by daylight and start point hopping looking for activity on top. I checked several locations I would normally fish and nothing. Headed off farther south and found many boats(some appeared to be guides) all working a small area. I'd rather not combat fish so I left them be. I bailed and headed back towards the dam. Pulled out my perch poles and went to running the bank. No telling how many I caught. Mostly these handsome guys and some nice green sunfish. WT 84

Something doesn't add up.....did you say you or your wife didn't get both shots due to some reaction? Why are you quarantining? Current CDC guidance is vaccinated people do not have to quarantine upon contact until they show symptoms.

This is the way....although I will add care must be reasonably taken on where you anchor. You want very little slope in the bottom...In a cove depending on bottom slope you can easily pull a very large anchor down hill on a short rope. I've always been a fan of tying off to a tree.

Yep and in the gig world you can pick and choose what you want to do. Get paid very well for stuff you don't want to do if you still get the business and be competitive on the easy stuff. I know of a very similar success story and he isn't in the burbs so its possible to make it work very well in rural areas.

This is actually a pretty reasonable idea. Mobile Mechanics-Think farm equipment/heavy equipment. @fishinwrench if mobile boat mechanic makes sense? HVAC Plumbing Surveying Welding Power washing/painting

May not get there.....just looked at the 4 day pool forecast and were only at 70% now. 12ft here we come.
