  1. You should come by for the Bade Memorial. Urban fly fishing tourney on Jefferson Lake in Forest Park. Top prize (only prize) is a warm Stag 40oz or a warm 12 pack of Natty Light , plus your name wood burned on the traveling trophy that resides at Hargrove’s fly shop. You’re welcome to travel with it to bars and such, but it draws attention in a different way. It is not the Stanley Cup.
  2. They stock a bunch of lakes on the St. Louis side. Allot of them are C&R until Feb 1st, and they get fished out quickly after that. Jefferson Lake by Big Barnes gets a bunch and its safe to fish there. I'd pack a side arm if I wanted to fish any of the 4 lakes they stock trout north of Page Blvd. No worries anywhere else.
  3. Agree with Al, rusty crawfish were sold at bait shops and replaced local crawfish populations in allot of areas. Don’t transport live bait. Catch it were your gonna use it, if you use it. Have the kids cast net or set a minnow jar, flip rocks for craws, worm rod some crawlers. It’s fun!
  4. It should not be an issue if you are resting and aiming it. Wing shooting would be out of the question. See how it goes.
  5. Muddy water inflows bring food and warmth. I usually have a couple dozen dead worms in the bottom of my inground pool every time we get a good soaking rain. Lots of them get washed down stream.
  6. Hunting private land is expensive, but it beats standing in line or dealing with the masses of country ghetto trash that forks up almost everything in this state. Big city pecker heads are easier to deal with, they usually arent on meth or fentanyl.
  7. Paying to hunt or fish in MO as a resident is a sore spot for me. Hunting & fishing licenses should be FREE for MO residents IMO. MDC does not need that money. They make plenty from the 1/8th cent sales tax and that revenue stream goes up every year. OOS'ers should pay through the nose. Whatever their state charges a MO resident to hunt or fish in their home state. Reciprocity seem fair.
  8. Do your time and learn what is comfy for you. Only you can set your limits. It's always a crap shoot on a tailwater.
  9. I’ve never been a fan of Bennet, but Charlie Reading has always been fun to chat with. Think we have stayed at Rivers Edge & HVO 5-6 times with our camper in the past 15 years and we have never fished IN the park. Have not fished Montauk in 30 years either, but we camp there.
  10. The skunks are thick, or folks are smoking allot of MJ during rush hour.
  11. If you have a better picture my friend Steve White could I’d them all. You could find him through my Facebook if you still do that.
  12. I see what appears to be a midge oreno and a flat fish. Not sure about the others.
  13. They look great! Will have to drive down and pick some up.
  14. We have our seeds in. . I might start the herbs and tomatoes in a couple weeks,

    There is always a can of Dinty Moore in my camp box. It makes a quick & hearty meal in a pinch.

    Taste test with my 15 year old, she likes the hot & spicy and the yuzu(citrus) best. All very good and soy based.
  18. Guess there was another evil spirit alarm today and Chief Joe and the rest of the where the Heckawi’s decided to shoot it down,
  19. Looks like fun. There are some wicked huge smallmouth up that way. The Penobscot can be very good!
  20. There is plenty of good fishing out in Montana, Wyoming, & Idaho but trout fishing is easy and the fish are small. Tarpon & Snook are a heck of allot more fun! Alaska should be on your list too. The rainbows and Grayling are the stars of the show up there. Do a salmon, and a halibut trip to fill a freezer.
  21. Google F Troop Balloon.
  22. Walked into one today. They had some interesting stuff. Did not buy any, way overpriced.
  23. Need a Speck Call? I do not use this one. Redbone Poly. I also have 2 doz DB speck silos and 2.5 doz DB Canada Silos I want to move. Brand new decoys. Will do $50 on the call shipped TYD. Decoys have a DB carry bag, will do $200 on the decoys and bag. Pickup in STL or take me goose hunting if you want delivery.
  24. Amazon & Walmart deliver free when your not looking.
  25. Very nice! Thanks for the report.
