    Decompression

    Gavin replied to oneshot's topic in General Chat

    Anecdotal evidence is usually worth less than you paid for it. One data point and therefore it works this way cuz dimwit Peepaw said so. People want to believe it, but it’s a mind virus. Listen to others is a good trait for survival, but the good advice gets accepted with the nonsensical stuff. It’s how religions, politicians, and advertisers rope you in and play you a fiddle.

    Inflatables need maintenance, so I won’t buy one. Chuck in the garage and forget about it until the next trip is kinda my speed.

    NRS is the place to go for quality paddling gear.

    My right & ease of access to firearms & ammo v. hurdles to stop the stupid, untrained & the insane. Maybe folks should have to pass weapons ed class? It could not hurt.

    My grandmother had a mulberry tree over here back brick porch. Messy, but tasty berries, will have to check the one in my local park. The wood is supposed to be good to smoke meat with but I've never had the opportunity to try it.

    Looks like a gut eating cannibal slob! You catch that one under a fish cleaning station?

    I dunno, don’t really care. Let there be songs, to fill the air.

    Fine with me, but I don’t my name on another Government list😀!

    That’s a piggy on a dry, not many places you can do that. With a shape like that you would think it was a slob cannibal waiting for some rainbow guts.

    Great ties and pics, allot of effort can go into to painting those!

    The water level is a bit high on both rivers, but it should be stable, sunny, and warm, with no precipitation in the forecast for the next ten days. Both rivers will be packed for the next two weekends. Have a great trip!

    There was a guy running a Mokai on the upper Current about 10 years ago. I guess he broke it, and stopped. He was hitting gravel in spots a jet boat, or loaded canoe would cruise right through. The Current and Jack's limits are on the Ozark Scenic Riverways website. https://www.nps.gov/ozar/planyourvisit/horsepower.htm The Eleven Point is limited to 25hp upstream from the 142 Bridge at the Narrows. You can run anything you want to run on any other river in this State. I saw an airboat on the Meramec a couple years ago.

    Wow! That does look nice. What does it weigh with all the gizmos and batteries installed? Buck 40?

    My wife is from Washington. The lake is a gathering spot, just like the bars down on the riverfront. I've been a there several times, give it a shot, but there is probably better walk in fishing on the BB and Meramec. Find a friend in town who knows how to fish for catfish on the Missouri. Hit the creek mouths, until you find a friend with a capable boat. You have lots of options.

    Its a good float. Kinda need that on your resume if you want to say your a smallmouth fisherman in Missouri. The first stretch through Portuegese Pt...has some of the tallest bluffs in the MO Ozarks...scenery is pretty grand, other than the highway noise. Take some pics there. The piney confluence always has some fish. The locals like to limb line for catfish, so watch for them hanging in the shady spots.
  16. Gavin
    If it looks bad have them haul you up the B. Piney instead. It’s always clearer than the Gasconade. Fishes just as well.
  17. Gavin
    I hope they had a fish fry. Good times. It’s a treat to eat eat wild game and fresh caught fish with your friends.
  18. Gavin
    I'd suggest that you toss your fears in the dumpster and go do what you want to do. Deal with whatever happens, which is usually nothing.
  19. Gavin
    Your gonna need to burn gas and knock on doors. You might find some access. It’s been 15 years since I’’ve bothered to head up so it probably wasn’t that good. YMMV. That’s a creek that require a self shuttle with a friend and a CCW.

  21. Gavin
    Those will stretch you string! Good for you!
  22. Gavin
    Looks like a good time! Good for you! Annual trips are always fun.

    Surface: Gaines Sneaky Pete size 2 in Chartruese MInnow Thingy: White Wooly Bugger size 4 Bottom Thingy: Black Wooly Bugger size 4 Small thingy to hang a foot under your Sneaky Pete...Pick some random trout nymphs about a size 10 with a bead head & rubber legs. That should cover most of it.

    Hope you didn’t scare him off and he bought something. Your first fly rod will never be the one you stick with. Don’t buy the Ferrari when you can barely drive. You need to master a beatching Camaro, and a Porche first.
  25. Gavin
    It's in the middle of nowhere, and very rustic. Lane Spring is very nice in comparison and rarely crowded, I cant imagine Paddy Creek ever getting crowded but you never know. There seems to be a ton of junkies in the Rolla/St. Robert area so take precautions.
