    thank goodness I haven't had my hair stand on end but I do recall a strike so close I could smell it.

    Lola, then deer camp, then back to Lola. It's all a balance.

    I like it, all the comforts of home and plenty of tude.

    Current river is one. There are a couple of other options but I'm holding my hand close to my chest.

    I had hoped to spend next weekend on the Gasconade. I think I'll be shopping for a river that didn't get quite as much water.

    On weekends We typically bounce from Dardenne links, GC of whentkzville and country lakes out in Warrenton, whoever shows the most available tee times on line. The sun just came out things are looking up.

    The brother and I never tee off before 3PM. Never have to wait on slow play and often have the whole course to ourselves. It's well worth having a late dinner. This afternoon/evening will be soggy but I'll bet we own the course.

    Darn, I almost never cancel a trip because a forecast but gravel bar camping is too risky this weekend. Great offer Mitch, good luck to my fellow fishers.

    Back in the day I learned how to paddle a canoe reading the Red Cross guide to white water canoeing. Long out of print it had excellent illustrations of all the basic maneuvers. Maybe Al's book can do the same for future paddlers.

    Thank goodness. When I read the thread title I assumed this was going to another tourist trap amusement park by Johnny what's his name. It sounds wonderful I can't wait to visit.

    You'll be fine at that level. Camp as high as you can to avoid a possible rise.

    Most days on the river start out fast and on top and progress to slow and on the bottom. Last week the brother and I were throwing weightless senkos to fish scattered over shallow bedrock ledges, without giving it much thought I was fishing my bait kind of slow as I typically would trying to keep my bait in the zone. Dan was skittering his bait across the surface. The fast moving bait was much more effective Under those conditions.

    Good post, if your young and don't have the ability to drive a long way you are screwed. When I was your age I spent countless daydreaming of all the places I wanted to fish but couldn't. I've spent the last 40 years making up for it. Wish I could help but all I can say is fish where you can, even if it sucks, beg, borrow and mooch rides to better places and bide your time.
  14. Greasy B
    For sure worth it. Most folks on this forum fish for all the right reasons. For me rivers are the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth, fish or no fish that's the clincher.

    They did rob you. This post is sad, it makes me want to scream out Who's in charge! The unfortunate answer is no one is in charge. Even on our federally regulated streams it seems anything goes. Daryk, Im gad things worked out well. Maybe one of the young men you took will turn into a future leader who can influence change so that good men like Pete won't be robbed of the streams they love.
  16. Greasy B
    And the reason I almost never float a stream serviced by an outfitter.

    The trib is getting low, won't be long getting a jet through will get ugly.

    I've had big dogs and little dogs, big dog = big mess, little dog = little mess. I'd rather pick up nuggets the size I'm my pinky than pick up kielbasa sausages.

    Rim Shoals

    Greasy B replied to govslug's topic in White River

    You could drift down easy enough and could probibly drag a prop boat back up from the second island but it would be real tough to drag back up if you went below the third island. Years ago there was a gravel flat between White House and crooked creek that was only inches deep, I'm not sure what min flow would give you but it wouldn't be much more. A float between rim and ranchette would be best, it's a long shuttle but you'd get to fish shoe string shoal.
  20. Greasy B
    Yeah same here. I wore a Mohawk solo paper thin in 10 years going down creeks that hardly had any flow. 10 of the best years of my life.
  21. Greasy B
    We need some stable water. The upside is the outlook for July is very good, just need family issues, illness, work and weather to cooperate.
  22. Greasy B
    Hands down the most terrifying creature lurking anywhere is a skunk.
  23. Greasy B
    I think 37 is the prettiest lake in BWL. Did you get stopped by the conservation check point?
  24. Greasy B
    Last weekend I was walking along I Mississippi trib in SCC. It looked fishy and was clear and cool enough to take a swim in until I walked up on a sewer pump station. I would hope the system is functioning properly but the stink alone was enough to make me think twice about that swim.
  25. Greasy B
    Probably because of all the new water flowing into the system.
