    I don't doubt it, I believe they were given a lot of land as an incentive to expand lines. At my work our clients offer need to seek RR approval for construction projects. There have been many occasions where the RR had no idea who was on their land and had no record of leases.

    Super bowl Sunday was always good day to go to the trout parks.

    No big deal we'll hijack the thread discuss the super bowl or honey roll, it's all good. I think the most important thing on everyone's mind today is how to go fishing on Sunday and make it home in time for the game

    I would love to fish small creeks more but an experience bro and had a couple of years ago put a dampener on our enthusiasm. We stopped at a low water crossing bro went upstream I went down. After a couple of hours we met back at the car, I carried on about all the large bass I caught and he said he got stopped a 100 yard upstream and threatened with arrest and worse. FWIW this is one of the experiences that have convinced me our rivers are nowhere near their potential. This tiny creek was absolutely packed with bass larger than I typically see on our best rivers.

    I had a great time at the open house, met some new friends and caught up with old friends. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again and maybe tossing a few craws.

    Bro and I were floating down a Wyoming river and ran across a cow moose with a calf. The guide told to shut up don't make eye contact and be prepared to jump ship when she charges and what ever you do always keep the raft between you and it. I didn't have the sense to be scared but the guide was all freaked out.

    I received my first order this week. Web site, packaging, graphics and product are all first class. I need to put together a couple of gift packs for my buddies, I'll be down tomorrow. Thanks fellas, you have a great start.

    Don't let it get you down, I ran into the same thing in northern Georgia last year. The dude at the fly shop told me it wasn't worth buying a Georgia license, he told me to drive up to North Carolina. Of course I got skunked in N.C.

    Been out of town for work. I have my calendar marked for next Tuesday evening. Give me a shout if you want to ride with bro and I.

    Yep, i have been a long time member but only go to meetings when something interest me. I feel a little bad for not participating more.

    Thanks for the heads up. I just removed The Little Red from my list of rivers I must fish.

    New trout boat

    Greasy B replied to Stein's topic in White River

    I've been thinking about upgrading to a 40 jet for a while, if I pull trigger I'll keep my 20 just for the occasional trip to the restricted rivers.

    Much of the flood control myth and other reservoir follys were caused by a lack of long term stream flow data. The best defense against stream development and for watershed improvements is the data produced by our local gages. Though I use the gages for every trip there are far more important reasons for them than my convenience.

    Welcome, you'll find a wealth of information about Ozark fishing by reading and searching previous threads. Southern Illinois is a wonderful place to retire to and a very good fishing destination. A 9.9 hp outboard and a boat that is light enough to launch from a dirt ramp will open up a lifetimes worth if fishing opportunities in your backyard. Mike,

    Our family gathering is a combination of the Norman Rockwell image and David Sedaris’s family, great fun and never a dull moment.

    Those are some very nice.

    Your FIL is impressive Mitch. I always say food is too precious to waste but that's taking it to another level. Bro and I put up two button bucks last weekend, more than enough for us.

    We'll probably have 15-20 friends and family over. Smoked turkey and venison sausage dressing will be my job. Home made pies are usually the highlight, if everything goes off as planned we'll have a couple of pies to take on our fishing trip Friday.

    Anybody who can quote The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha and catch river bass is ok in my book. Good report Joe.

    River Bass

    Greasy B replied to a topic in Smallmouth Talk

    I still have a few from Mitch's test kitchen, I'm looking forward to the upgrade.

    I don't know the downstream border of the upper C&R area but both are very short. There are many areas that offer fine wading but depending on generation most require a boat to get to. Two web sites that give detailed explanations about wading and water levels are Dally's Ozark Fly Fisher and Ozark Fly Flinger, sorry for not including links but a Google search should take you to each. The bottom line is that due to wildly varying water levels the White is an extremely dangerous river to wade and boat. Once you learn to deal with water levels safely you'll have a blast.

    That's a tough stretch of river this time of the year, you did well.
  24. Greasy B
    Do it! As long as you don't go right as a cold front moves through you should do well
