First off... Terry.. Sorry I cant make it today... and even if you dont catch many... remember... I caught enough tonight for the both of us!!! Now for the report.. Got to the water about 1am... 1 unit looked to be going.. but it also seened to be dropping... I fished around (NOT IN THE) chute 2 for about 20 minutes... nothing.. went to one... olive pines quirrel was the choice fly of the night (for now) ended up with 8 fish well by now the water is off.. Funny thing happened at this point... I heard the gunlant calling my name... So I head that way.. got to the head of the gunlant... and the second cast was a 17 boy and caught 17 fish before the moon dropped behind the dam... fly used was a TNS well by now I was ready to go home well I went the rebar... fished a pine squirrel olive... for 45 minutes every cast was a fish... missed 3... caught well over 25 out of the reber up... I was strating to doze... even the "special" coffee is making me sleepy

GREAT NAME Terry.. that helps me out with the next fly.... that has been look for a name!!

Close... Terry's Nice, (but) Silly...LOL..I like that one!!! TNS = Taneycomo Nights Special...

Dan... The Wal-mart here in Branson doesnt carry it anymore.. There has been a few other place I have discovered it.. some hardware stores (Lowes I know has it)and Im sure a few hobby places.. But when I first wrote it.. BCO was the first place I thought of that I know had it.. Leonard

If you want some "GOOD" superglue.. Michael (backcountry outfitters) carries what is called Loctite superglue.. This has to be one of the best I have used... Call him to see if he has it in stock..

HEHEHEHEHE.... HEHEHEHEHE....

John... My wife gets so mad at me everytime I go fishing when Im sick... Not because Im sick... not because im fishing... But because... she know everytime I go when im sick Im back to 100% the next day... I really think that sun helps when you have a cold.. Leonard

will be the at 23:30... armed and ready!!! I think tonight some lips are going to be sore!!!

OK guys... after giving Terry some BS... here you go... I too fished with a Zebco (the little silver ones.. well I had 2 of them)... This zebco was a good one (in my youth).. I got one for my birthday.. and the 2nd that same year for X-mas... the very first Brown I caught (over 20in) was one these reels... 1st one was caught Downwtown Branson fishing off those old docks... fishing with corn.. next to the Main street boat dock.. the 2nd one was caught behind the C of O... we had access to the lake before the camp was built.. and the access just below Phils place.. That little gravel bar on the college side... my family has spent alot of hours fishing that gravel bar... Leonard

Jim.. Im not Phil... but this may be able to answer your question... As I read your post I remember I have a jar (of eggs) in the closet so I checked... To let you know it still smells like the trout food they feed the trout at the hatchery... How old is it... well it is one of those large jars they stop making sometime ago..I dont think Ive have bought power bait in maybe 6-7 years... If that says anything.. Also this has always been inside the house.. not outside in a garage or in the back of the car.. so maybe it the way That I have keeped it stored... Leonard

Power Puff girl rod and reel combo??? Terry... what happened?? I thought you still used the wonderwoman (or was that the Bugs bunny) combo... Or did it just get so old you finally retired it?? LOL...hehehe

Zach.. your talking fishing saturday night.. Its possible for me, but I wont get to the water till after midnight or close to it... but it'll be just for a few hours.. Leonard

I agree with Mrs.Ducky... squirrel tails can tell a winter...rainbow Rings around the moon it'll rian in the couple of day... and by the cloudy full moon... when the big boys come out to play..hehehe Instead of the poke greens (eww!!)... I like the spring time water cress salad, with a fresh melon and a piece of fruit... ( it keeps your pipes really clean~!)

Thanks Phil for posting taking the time to post those pictures.. Also A big thanks to Rolan for taking his time to taking the pictures... And a big thankls to everyone that was in the swap... Leonard

By the gleam in the eyes... and the lack of orange (or red) dots That looks like Betsy.... but her twin sister Betty Lou looks just like that... but Betty likes the whistle and only comes out at night.... so Im thinking thats Betsy

it was a size 8 unweighted...

John... They are all waiting to see my fishing tonight...LOL Sorry guys... I had to work at the store tonight.. No Report... but stay tuned this weekend... I should be posting more...LOL... HUMMMM?? I think this happened back in the fall to.. Leonard

Table Rock Lake Shoreline clean-up is on Saturday, April 7 At the Branson Belle For more Information... here is the link... http://www.trlwq.org/shoreline.htm hope to see ya out there... Leonard

Im there... Seahorses.. maybe?

NOW WERE TALKING!!!!! just to add to Terry's post.. 3-4 trout (or 1..20-23in trout) 1 large bug of corn chips 1 large finely chopped onion lemon juice cut fish up the belly, remove insides. clean and rinse well .. set aside Next break open the bag of cornchips (just enough to let air out).. with the palm of you hand smash them the best you can.. Next place them in a ziplock bag and crush them some more ... make sure you smash all the big pieces... Add in your chopped onions and lemon juice (add just enough lemon juice to make the chips a soft)... About 2TBSP Next.. Take a piece of tin foil (heavy duty).. and butter it down good.. place the fish on the foil... and fill the cavity add wrap up in the foil.. Cooking time is about 10-15 per side... But.. remember you can test fish doneness like a steak... if its still firm its still rare.. if you can feel the meat almost breaking apart its done BUT REMEMBER... Never over cook fish!!

Mr.Ducky.. Lets make it offical... Start a new thread.. and get some people signing up.. Let us know if we're bringing food.. As far as seahorses goes... not sure about this time... (price of shrimp goes up in the summer) I just my have to do somed poppers....
