JoRob who frequents OAF, and his wife Jen are the proud parents of a new 9lber.... A big boy...he usually practices C and R, but its rumored this is a keeper.... Dano

Bobber....sounded like a good trip. I've not floated that section. Despite the higher water are still talking class I water? Dano

Brian Just had a chance to post..I am sure you heard by now...but the Travs beat the Cards at their home opener during the storms Thursday night. I didn't hear Saturdays score...Dano

So Brian post a link???

Phil Thanks. So use plenty of shot to get it down then? Dan

My tv guide said the game was going to be on ESPN2, but apparently not here in North Ark. I think the Springfield Cards and Ark Travellers play on TV tomorrow evening..maybe KYTV...?? Dano

Phil How deep under the indicator should the biot loopwing be fished typically? Dano

Quillback, you have a found a most excellent site. I can't think of a fishing question that couldn't be answered here. Welcome....Dano

Bill What a great story. I can tell that this trip made his day and obviously yours. Good Job! Dano

Traveler I have to agree....another area that has gotten out of hand is the Ozark campground...seems the locals take it over on the summer weekends for loud music and beer. I will say that the Park Service Rangers do what they can to handle the complaints...just not enough of them. Dano

Great to have you here Robert...maybe we will hook up with you one of these days on Taney....Dano

I met Quin during a rod building class a few years back...nice chap....Dano

Ahhhhh Nice!!!

Jeremy You getting a drifter? What brand? Dano

Excellent John, some new folks getting introduced to this wonderful sport, then immediately getting to see the fruit of their efforts...Wow!.... Say is Quin also a brother? Dano

John its always the first weekend in October.... Oct. 5th, 6th, 7th FFF Southern Conclave, Mountain Home, AR Dano

Brian...All the Dorber guys were there. They are such nice folks. John...Its always fun, getting to see some great tyers, checking out new stuff....maybe you can make it to the FFF conclave in October. Its always a blast too. Also held in Mountain Home. Dano

Dave I couldn't find anything in the regs that said you couldn't outside the C and R areas... Dano

If JoRob is listening...he ties them up...JOROB, Oh JOROB????

One of the best around...and I have known him since he was Flyfisher 74.... He's also got a pretty good looking Black Lab.. Dano

This is from the new Ark. Regs ... Dano No chumming: Chumming is not allowed in trout waters designated as catch-and-release. Chumming is defined as dislodging or depositing any substance not attached to a hook which may attract fish. Chumming in catch-and-release areas is prohibited because normal trout feeding behavior can be disrupted and the stream environment can be damaged. One common example of chumming is tossing canned corn into the water to stimulate feeding. The technique of dislodging material from the streambed to attract trout, known as the “San Juan Shuffle,” is also considered chumming. Herding trout prohibited: Trout may not be driven, harassed or pursued with noise, objects, boats or by wading to concentrate them.

I have an old refinished Montague around here...never casted it. I would presume it would be like casting a 9ft, wet noodle... Dano

Brian, I have some medium, but never tied em in 12's.....but thanks for the tip...I suspect it that would be great for some higher water uh? Dano
