No Gary that was just the "Voices" in your head!! LOL It happens to us all after to many nights... Although the voices I hear are those DANG BEAVERS!!

Hey Guys/ and gals.... Lets make this a BIG year... this is going to be out 5yr Anniversary for out OAF get-together... I know this is only late July.. but think about it... 5 months to plan... Sorry I was unable to make it last year .. But this year is look really good. Leonard ****** WHO COMING AND WHO THINKING ABOUT COMING ***** Around the beginning of Nov.. we will start our "Whos coming/ bringing what" list

Round 2... Just another AWESOME night out.. water off early and the fish were on! started off up at the flat with a new sculpin pattern.. first 10 cast equal 6 fish.... hits on every cast.. didnt take to long for them to get use to it. switched over to a PMS and got a few more... over to a black and purple Hibernator and it picked up... quite a few guys out last night on the flat.. so I made my way to the Guanlet and the big hole.. It was none stop strikes and lots of LDRs but.. it was worth every hit.. caught a BUTT load of fish lost count about 20... 25...30..... really I lost count! fish of the night was a couple sweet 18-19in bow.... And a awesome sweet little brown.... *** about 10in*** LOL..

I hit the water just after 10pm... water still on but it didnt take them long to shut it and then the fun started... I fished fished the flat with Jeff.. Caught a couple nice ones on the PMS and it was just slow .. so I switched over to a red Hibernator and nailed a few more nice fish.. still on the slow side.. went to a Black/purple Hibernator and start catching some really nice fish... best of the was a FAT 18 (pushing 19) incher... total fish for night I would say around 25/30 Great night out... Leonard

Not kid friend... Oh stop it guys... you just dont what kids throwing rock.. LOL... First off .. try to get a hold of Lilleys Landing for a place to stay .... Phils got a nice play ground for the little ones and a swimming pool... Up by the dam.. the guys are right.. its not all that kid friendly.. unless he like to fish and play in cold water. If the water is on... I would suggest not taking him... But if the waters off and you want to hook into a few and let him bring them in ... well then I say GO FOR IT!

Nelly... you guys are wondering who it is... think about the Adam Sandlers movies..... The Longest Yard... the theme song.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us5IPJ-aZvI&feature=related

ENGLISH 101: Sorry Mr. M!! Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product Product,Product,Product,Product,Product,Product ** was going to do it 100 time.. but Phil would have got mad**

1 unit ..spent some time playing around.. just not many hook ups (15 to hand).. Well I had the chance to try the "fish skulls" and WOW.. http://flymenfishingcompany.org/products/fish-skull/ Tied up a PMS using them and it got it down where it needed to be.. they are heavy and a little challenging to cast .. I was using a medium on a size 6 hook. *** I will be tying more over the next few days*** Last night was FREAKING AWESOME!!! got my first over 20in brown last night of the year (measured 23 3/4) .. didnt have my camera.. didnt expect to see him there.. but that wont happen again.. now I know there are a few hanging out.. ** stay tuned more to come****

well at least I was 1/2 right on the water...LOL Great report! Next time Ill try to get down there and fish with you.. that PMS kicked some .... tail..

Jerod.... Hate to spoil your fun.... BUT... this may help you in some planning... local news today reports that as of today .. Beaver will start a water release that could last until the first week of July... This could mean them running water at Tablerock.... Just letting you know incase they start generating again.. Leonard.

Welcome back CP2!!

NICE!! Glad to hear you all had fun!

Hey bud.. I had a blast... Great fishing .... GREAT FUN!! next time maybe the water will be off...LOL

hey Gary... with that storm wensday night I probably wouldnt have went out...LOL Here is my number for the next time.... (417)-334-0497 Leonard

Randy.. Personally.. Id say you would be ok with the 4lb Maxima.. (I myself love it!) The braided... I dont know about.. never trid to bait/drift with it.. your crappie rod sould work just fine... Although... If you are looking to replace the line.. I would suggest going up to 6lb maxima (ultragreen).. I use it on my spinning when bait fishing... and and I have 8lb on the second spools for jigs/rapalas (and have bait fished using it.. and still catch fish on it).. With the rain coming again this week.. look for high water this weekend (3 to 4 units).. so beefing up to 6 or 8 to jig fish (while drifting) is probably what " I " would do....

Gary... Let me know the next time you head down there... Got a "New" fly for you to try... ITS AWESOME!!! Leonard.. Heres my new phone number. 417-334-0497

Gary... Wished I had known that was you.. I would have said hi..

me Daniel and his wife for a little fun.. Tough fishing... but we caught some on the hibernators... and a sweet fish on my newest fly .. Heavy Daze his wife Brittany... first time using a fly rod (we kinda talked her into it..LOL) KICKED OUR BUTTS! Out fished us with this .. Her Very first fish on the fly! A VERY SWEET 18in Bow

Hey Jason.. Check out Hickory Creek in Neosho (fly fishing and some small jig/spin fishing) Shoal Creek for bass.. down in the lower parts of the forum... you should find this areas listed

Cant tell you the "EXCACT" weight.. but everyone who has seen it or has snagged spoons says it about 60-65lbs.. caught on a 7wt using 8lbs Maxima as leader
