Trout Commander

Did Johnny Morris know you were swimming in his aquarium? But seriously, any info on where they found this dense population of large fish??

Good report. Leave it to some Grovers to ruin a good night LOL. You must be from the area (Please hold back the comments, but I am from Cabool ) ? Did your buddy Jake happen to play baseball? Thanks for sharing, and can't wait for those pics!

I currently indicator nymph. I am in the process of teaching my self to nymph without the indicator and attempting to become proficient with dries as well.

Oh, gotcha.

Phil, do you happen to know when the grates were cleaned? Do you think them being clogged had anything to do with the shad kill (from reading previous years threads) less than what it has been in years past?

You are in the right place then! Welcome aboard.

Very nice, sir!

After seeing those Fish Pimp indicators it makes me want to drill an additional hole through my foam and toothpick indicators for the 90* dead drift.

Care to site your sources? Continuing under the assumption that you will: If it's common knowlegde, and there is a known breeding population in the area, enough for hunting seasons even, why would anyone bother reporting sightings? Do you call MDC every time you see a coyote or deer? Also, what about all the tags that are filled in these other states?

Touche

No that was just Lady Gaga you saw. I'm pretty sure Randall meant his post as complimentary and sarcastic, not derogatory to the OP. Just derogatory to Lady Gaga, and if your defending her, well, your on your own.

If they used Google and foung OAF they wouldn't have to!

Thats Phil and Bill's best trick for putting fish in their boats to keep their clients happy, leave them alone! (I hope that one doesn't get my account shut down!) I am so VERY joking obviously and also agree that it is kinda pathetic, although legal

YOU need help?! Help ME get my wife to pick up a fly rod, let alone ask for a trip like that!!!

Welcome Zach. My names Jason and I am in Springvegas as well. I am intrigued by these carp locales you speak of. The only thing similar to your Scottish society that I belong to is the bottle of Johnnie Walker that can always be found in my cabinet, or on my camping trip. Does that count???

And maybe a really short piece of chenille tied up the middle, ya know kinda tucked in real tight.

Very good looking indeed. Not strange enough for the name though

Nice fish, but what I really liked was the part where whoever that was gave you the very nice thank you. He musta' been awful proud of your handy work

What a nice hook jaw! Such a waste. (there I said it)

Smart move then. I bet IT is easier on the back too.

My sister is an RN and has encountered the same. A whole menu of locales with sometimes comparatively lucrative pay available for her choosing and a sure thing for a job when she returns. Also my sister in law has been out of high school for a year and had no trouble getting a job in the rural area we are from. Also she moved to Springfield with us to continue schooling for last weekend and already has a job that she is interviewing for as I type this. The interview is basically a formality as she is scheduled to start orientation on Thursday already. The jobs are definitely there and I don't see people ceasing to become sick or injured anytime soon. Future job market flooding may be a valid concern though. only time will tell. At the same time I do not see the IT field being a bad or worse choice at all. You are correct that the internet is here to stay and more and more of the markets that haven't moved in that trend are and will. Seems like it would be less emotionally demanding etc. as well.

That absolutely blows my mind. Both parts of the story. It also reiterates that it's not the "trout park" part that gets you but the "idiot" part.

No worries on sending more, with luck I can have them finished before the weekend, doubt I will get started tonight. Seems like there was something I needed to do tonight or something... Let me know if they turn up.
