Addicted to Creeks

whats up with its side?

why would you want more people coming to your lakes, if I fished a lake and it made one of these lists I would be seriously bummed

deleted cuz my comment makes no sense now

another good post, it always seems those little fish are the ones we rely on to get us through the daily grind ....great blog

i watch the last 20 minutes the first 40 is all hype

in my generation and the one before me selling walleye as a bad intro is a tough sell, at least as far north as we are we hunt them a sport fish a we love them

i have long since moved past expecting manners from 80% percent of the people i meet. that's on or off the water.

nice

Wow man. Sounds like a very fun trip to say the least. Great read

I agree completely. One of my favorite things about fishing is the ability to target different species and the process of learning to catch them. Its one of the best things about the mississippi is that you never know what you will catch. A friend of mine last summer caught a northern pike in the Mississippi at Saverton,Mo. We have pictures and. That fish was definently lost haha

As soon as I win the mega millions I'm in. It would be fun to set up a small Ozarks tourney with the same format

We have caught both walleye and sauger out of the Mississippi River. I have noticed that we tend to catch them together when we find them.

A fantastic read and +1 for two Star Trek references

Oh. Hey didn't see you guys there

they still exist i ordered a few just the other day....luckily i have enough marabou and and can tie a few up when i get them

lol

ill be sure to check those out

I'm thinking i should just buy the road runner heads and grubs separately so i can mix and match the bodies how i see fit...it also seems a lot cheaper to do it this way. this is correct right?

awesome man that is something ill definitely check out thanks

its a cabellas prestige 5 wt i was fishing a short 6 lb leader. the line i have now is a floating line...it came on the reel when i bought it ...truth be told im still pretty new to the fly fishing and am basically self taught at this point, so i tend to assume user error when things do work

i have found that cussing and tossing the rod around tends to help (DISCLAIMER: it does not)

alright problem solved!

this and pictures are super nice, a lot of the smart phones today have very nice cameras on them

i have 2 boxes that fit in my cargo pockets, i wade alot so i limit what i use to what can easily be carried

took the fly rod out today to chase some smallies. we had a pretty good wind blowing all day and this coupled with my still amateurish casting led to what might have been a frustrating day for some....luckily i am used to sucking at stuff and called it a day of practice. The water on Spenser Creek looked as good as i had seen it in a while and when i wandered around the bend away from the road i could almost pretend i was in the Ozarks for a bit. To be real honest i didn't need to as this creek ( a tributary of Salt River ) is one of my favorite places to fish around home. Yes, the fish tend to run small, and yes its pretty low in the summer (all the riffles i will post as pics will be a thin strip of water by June) and sometimes you need to occasionally walk a little farther downstream to avoid the people swimming and drinking at the low water crossing. But over the last few years this creek has been my home on the water and personal fly fishing school. And it has the things that are most important to me, fish and solitude (for the most part) But back to the fishing. I caught one...on a Clousers...he was small and had a weird little wound on his side that i didnt notice till i was looking at the post if anyone has guesses on what that is i would like to hear them. The fishing was tough but it was the middle of the day and i cant cast as far as i have gotten used to with my ultra light and Rooster tails so i wasn't expecting to do great.. the moral of this little grammatically incorrect tale? go outside it is that wonderful time of year.
