The Turkey Trot Festival used to be a big deal in Yellville. Turkey dinner at the high school, Miss Turkey legs. Bluegrass bands, cotton candy in one hand and a smoked Turkey leg in the other. Children all war painted up would chase down the live turkeys that fell from a low flying Cessna prop plane. The finder got the Turkey and the gift certs/coupons rubber banded to its leg. True story.
It is the same as most others, I can do better closer to home. No big deal, but I did see live turkey’s tossed from low flying aircraft in Yellville, AR 25 years ago. Not sure if that’s a thing anymore,
The Greer guage is the one you need to watch. We camped at the Greer Confluence one January were there was NO flow coming in from above Greer. The sand bar we camped on is usually under 2-3' of water.
We brushed up this weekend. We had about an acre of sheet water on the front field, but no teal or doves in sight. We elected to sleep in and avoid the 100 degree heat.
Your pretty much helpless in the salt unless you know tides, and have a boat to get to where the fish will be when the tide moves. You can bridge or pier fish, but that is a snore.
Nothing against Arky trout guides. The problem was every GD Arky trout guide wanted to come up to STL and speak. I got sick of there offers, so I decided to book none of them. Phil gave a good presentation at Ozark with a young man whom I cant remember. Ryan maybe, not Doty.
I booked him to speak at Ozark Fly Fishers in St. Louis 20 something years ago. Nice guy, but his fee was pricey, and it was not a great presentation. He was on my do not book list along with "NO SHOW" Lefty Kreh and every Arkansas trout guide.
STL 101- If you see women walking around midday dressed in lululemon, you’re good. If you see grown men lifting weights, and smoking cigs with their buddies midday,, you are in danger.
White Castle is still strong in STL. Do you know that a WC slider is never flipped. It's steamed on those onions that glue themselves to your vehicles dashboard.
So long Flip. He was a nice man amd he gave me some casting pointers 25 years ago. Hope he saw a tarpon gulp, get tight, and jump a few times before his light switch got… turned off.
I have 9 empty gallon jugs available. The are empty white liquid pool shock bottles. Porch pickup in the 63119. I may have more by Labor Day. Holler up if you want them.
Not fun. My wife’s older brother did that and did not like it much.He killed himself.by OD on benzo’s. We found about 200 doses of Xanax when we cleaned his condo out.
