Has anybody got an email addess for State Reps. C.Everett and Eddie Cooper. Looked them up on the AR gov website, but no email address listed.

I fish b/t Calico and Norfork confluence most of the time and couldn't agree more about the improvement it will have on this stretch. One thing about the jet props.......we are seeing more and more of them, but with the minimum flow I think the popularity will dwindle.

How many inches do you guys think the minimum flow will add to the water height on the Norfork? And how much boat traffic will it add? And do you agree with Smith in the Baxter Bulletin? I would like to hear what you guys that fish it quite a bit think. What kind of boating restrictions will be needed? http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dl.../608140315/1002 Smith said more than 20 boats are destroyed each year by fishermen trying to get their boats up the river. He said more water in the river could lead to boaters showing no regard for wading fishermen. "If you're going to generate 8-10 inches of water on the North Fork River, you're going to endanger people and you're going to wipe out fly fishing," he said. "I guarantee that every boat that is rented at the dam and confluence will run all the way to the dam and float down."

25 hp is the smallest jet foot available. Follow the link to see a chart for the power needed for your boat. It is based on the weight of the boat and you also need to account for the weight of passengers. http://www.caleymarina.com/jet_drive.htm IZARDCOUNTYRAINBOW

I've got an alweld 1756 with a 40/28 jet. Always been a little skiddish getting in the Norfork without generation. Just more familiar with the White more than anything. Curious about the UMHW plastic coating. Where can you get it and how is applied? Also, any of you Jet boaters thats got fiberglass setup, I would like to know how they perform for you. I've heard the AFF's do better with the jets, but would like hear a little more about it.
