Plot twist, AB's already had a vasectomy... Good luck on getting that promise fulfilled!

I'll remember that. The springfield Hy-vee really did have a great seafood selection, and always had some good sushi grade meat in. I've gotten a lot more picky about how I like it, and like to use much higher quality fish. I've had trouble finding something that had the goods up here around KC. I like it, in the $8-$9 range for a six pack, which blows my mind, but boulevard is just the same up here. The pilsner is good though, I'm not a beer snob by any means so I can't accurately describe a beer real well. Closest comparison would be like a boulevard KC Pils. Missouri Spirits stuff FS mentioned is great, and really anything out of the mothers line as well. A spicy Tuna roll is the one I make the most (will have the stuff ready for 2-3 rolls for dinner sometimes) and it's really pretty easy: Spicy Tuna: Sriracha, Kewpie Mayo, Hot Chili oil. Dice the tuna and mix everything to taste. Fillins: I like a slice of avocado, sometimes cream cheese and a thin strip of cucumber. It's not your traditional spicy tuna roll, but it's how I like them. Drizzle some sriracha mayo over the top and top with roasted sesame seeds.

Gather Ingredients: Mix Filling: Roll: Plate: Take picture of entirely too much for 3 people: Over the last year or so I've started making quite a bit of sushi, and looking into the history/tradition of it all. Really makes for a fun meal, and branching out and trying different kinds of things.

This was out of the White below BSD. Whatever Strain mix AR uses just colors up like that. Taney rainbow that started to develop those white tipped fins:

Where do they release water into that river? It was running today pretty good. kind of a first or last light type of deal for me this weekend. anywhere you can find a small current break.

and even if there is sometimes a splash of color under the jaw, its not always indicative of a cutthroat. Young crane rainbows will get a slash of bright orange in the same spot. Just part of what comes from being species that come from the same family.

Johnsfolly mentioned brook trout. Forgot to quote his post. There is no color under the jaw. I think we are just looking at a rainbow.

Just a rainbow. Bows in the river will sometimes get those white tipped fins. Depending on the strain even some rainbows will get a splash of orange under their jaws when they are young. i dont even think a brookie and rainbow can hybridize.

The GPX's are sweet, I've always liked the Rio lines I've casted. I want to say both SA and Rio have some sort of low stretch "in touch" line that doesn't stretch like a normal fly line. Maybe try casting one when your there. All depends on what you can cast well.

I actually used to catch a lot of fish on the banjo minnow, the 006 version...

It'll only get better from there Gramps!

Less so than swinging. just tough getting a drift without being able to see.

I've nymphed the outlets but a few years back when they opened the flood gates right there as really filled in with gravel. i let my streamers finish a full swing before i strip them at all. Let that fly get broadside to the fish without stripping it, and as it rises at the end of a swing i get bit a lot too. just how i learned, and have done the best.

It was I. Oh how awkward it can be meeting random people from the internet! Seriously though, it was a lot of fun.

No but some people cast certain tapers better than others. And ir depends on the size and weight of fly someone is throwing as well. Some people like a full, and some just a tip. i know i throw my outbound short a lot better than the more tapered lines just based on my casting style. yeah its combat fishing but you have to be able to cast that line and get the fly to the bank in the first place.

I saw that Dylan from on here won the box of flies! That's awesome. I snagged the one from the Midwest drift in the iron fly part of the night, have to try and get a pic of that up, some really good flies in there. Good Chatting with you Billet!

Bowe is going to be gone. I like him as much as anyone but his skill set doesn't fit with what I think AR wants to do. Plus I think the fans reputation of him precedes what D Coordinators think of him any more. I read some studies on him, and he didn't pull double coverage hardly, if at all, any more than any other receiver on the roster. Hudson going to the raiders sucks, but he is now the highest paid center in the league (by contract, not including bonuses) and there is no way we could afford to do that. Cap situation is looking GREAT going into next year so they need to lockup/extend Poe NOW. I know they are also linked to Revis right now as well, and I would love to see that happen, but it's all about how they can configure those contracts to work with the cap. I'd like to see them get something done with Houston, but I think honestly after this year he is going to be gone. With the Maclin signing I see us going ILB in the first now instead of a receiver and picking a receiver in the second, but who knows.

I'll be there.

And yes they still have the taco special. Bairs Food is great, drink prices are awesome. Service can be spotty, but hell for a $5.50 pitcher I don't expect it to be great. Grad School down town is good, so is just about every other food place down there. If you want something quick ish Mo' Beef is really good as well. If it's late it's hard to beat Pappos Pizza or Whistlers Sliders.

Just sent something off to my rep.

I like my Outbound Short. I also have liked how the streamer express lines casted.

I think this is your problem...

Great pictures. Love all of these. I'll fish the hell out of em.

All of the flies are fantastic everyone! So glad to be a part of this swap! I hope that everyone jumps in on the Summer Streamer swap coming up!

I get that. If you're going to be fishing a lake and stripping flies back towards you. How are you going to get enough rod out of the tip to create enough tension to then throw a cast?
