Everything is temporary! Keep that in mind. I have not been out much this year either, but plan to hunt allot this fall, and there is a fall fishing trip on the Calendar. I hope all works out well for Y’all and you get out more in the future.

Looks like fun, thanks for the report

Would there be any interest in a big gun?
Gavin replied to kjackson's topic in General Flyfishing Topics
My buddy can tell you what those are worth. -

Have a buddy who buys & sells a bunch of used & collectible fly tackle I’ll PM you his number. -
As good as it gets! Good for you!

Lithium Batteries
Gavin replied to grizwilson's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Be careful with big lithium batteries they start 🔥’s, cheap e bike batteries in particular. -
I wonder how many tons of freezer burned crappie fillets get hauled to the landfill every year.
-
Glad you got out! Anytime on the river with family is a good time!

Will have to revise. Think my 8” cheap Cutco chef is the knife that gets used the most around here. Not the best but no worries if my wife or daughters toss it in the dishwasher. That’s probably happened 5 times a week for the last 20 years. My hands know that knife. It’s thoughtless,

Drag a buddy along and run your own. Its the most reliable way.

My K-Bar is my favorite knife Holds an edge, and you could pound tent stakes or dig a hole with it in addition to its purpose of killing the enemies of the USMC. My Japanese chef knives and Dexter Russel fillet/boning knives are awesome to. Used to have a nice bench made folder, but it left me. The Gerber Multi Tool in the truck covers about 99% of daily needs.

Good stuff, I get it from the fine folks at my fav Mexican place, You know it’s the real deal if that is offered.
-
Thanks, but just starting to put a dent in what is on hand. Tom Hargrove gave me those to try. but I never had a good opportunity to get them damp. Think I have reason for Tom to wrap me a new 9wt.
-
Fly preferably. Just need another stooge like me who is willing wake up early/ then go again late. You need a team of two to catch those fish.
-
Foam is great at times. My go to with foam is a Pink pookie style tie or a Rainey’s Hopper. An old school Madame X in various colors usually out fishes foam flies 2-3 to one.

Thanks guys! I had several follow & swipe at a 4” Megabass and follow a small Plopper. Some good ideas! Just need to head back w/o my wife & kids to put your ides to the test. Caught fish every AM wading @ Sunburst, long before the teen daughters & wife rolled out of the camper.

Just got back from the NFoW. There are Lots of big stripers in the trout water, but I can’t seem to catch them consistently even when I know we’re they are. Any tips in hard baits & hair jigs for them. Can’t use plastics or live bait legally where most of them are.
-
Earth city is just levied Missouri River flood plain. Lots of water inside that levy too. Levy’s hold water out, and in sometimes.
-
Floods are worse today. Saw a couple new warehouses going in next to the Marsh @ Creve Couer Lake.
-
I do feel sorry for the folks affected, but they bear most of the responsibility for choosing to locate themselves in the flood plain. You know we’re its going to flood if you’ve lived in STL for any time at all. Chesterfield Valley was under water in 93 when the levee breached. All those new malls were built since then.
-
I wouldn’t drive out of my way to visit either but I live within two miles of both. Lots of flooding in Brentwood down by FC today, and I’m sure it flooded over by Trainwreck Saloon to. It’s been a mess with construction on that section of Manchester and I’m sure it’s a much bigger one now.
-
Glad it’s working out for you! It sounds like a grand adventure!

WTB new nymph setup, What are you using?
Gavin replied to Krazo's topic in General Flyfishing Topics
I like available replacement tips for fly rods I take trips with. Your not gonna get a new tip while your out fishing. That might take months. -
MDC won’t do a thing. They are are PR organization at best now. Elk, bike trails, and sunflower fields are what the are selling right now, while all the stuff they bought & built goes unmaintained and turns to crap.
