Probably not, it does not get logged out like most of the float streams. Coldwater, me, and my late friend Roy came across a heck of a log jam on the L. Piney above Newburg 20+ years ago. It was 200 yards of solid log jam, 50' high. We took a break to contemplate it and eat lunch before we hauled around it, but in the meantime a gentlemen farmer found us. We plied him with a couple of beers and soon our canoes and gear got hauled around the log jam with that farmer's 4 wheeler. Be prepared to hump it if you go.

Cooking from Scratch is still there I think. Haven't been by there in awhile, but we always loved their fried chicken, and they had a 66 oz Route 66 burger challenge. It has been a good weekend to cook! Did some pot roast and homemade mashed potatoes on Saturday. Posole with hot tortillas slathered in butter, honey, and lime was yesterday. Tonight is left over pot roast and we are gonna make potato pancakes.

Buy the Commander's Kitchen Cook Book, and you will never go out for Cajun again.

You all have mad cooking skills! Do you take requests? Neighbors are coming over for diner Monday night and their little one (Cindy Lou Who) asked if I was making Lasagna for Xmas again. There will be some!

Do these feral hogs arrive the Wednesday after New Year then vanish? That is just us, DONT SHOOT!
-
I have not seen any sign of hogs, but I do not venture out of the river corridor much unless I'm turkey hunting on the Pioneer Forest. Gene K is down there allot more. He has property to maintain off the Parker Hollow Rd.

You can use anything you want to create a fly! The UV stuff seems to be popular with the current generation that is into Euro/Streamer, etc. It is nothing new. Dentists have had that stuff for 45 years, and it works pretty well. That said, I really don't care about fly durability. I pretty much chuck them in the trash when I break down the rod. If its a setup I'll fish again, It will stay strung up until the next trip.

We haven't seen any feral hogs in the ONSR yet, but thanks for the heads up. We haven't seen an mountain lion or bear either. There are plenty of armadillo's. The presence of hogs might explain why I haven't seen the usual numbers of Turkey down there though.

Sorry we missed you. I just fished a couple spots on the river in the mornings, then left for breakfast when the 9-5 anglers started walking in.
-
Another trip to Montauk is on the books. The river was low and crowded, but the fishing was pretty decent till 8:30 or so Friday & Saturday. Had to run back North to Salem for a bike inner tube on Friday and we stopped for lunch at JB Malone’s Bar & Grill west of the Walmart on 72. We will be back. Loop 4 & 5 construction is creeping along. There are no pads poured in Loop 5 but it looks like it will be full hookup RV sites. I don’t think it will be ready by March 1 but that is the plan.

I saw the picture here, and Cricket is good person to call if you want to sell or buy real estate around Lebanon/LOZ,

Huzzah is low, so is the Current, but the Current fishes better this time of year.
-
There have been some 3-4 lb brookies caught in MO, but MDC no longer maintains a record for them. There was at one time.

Big Creek is the float at SAB but not for rookies, there are several shut ins. Do not try to paddle Big Creek through the park. It braids and gets super skinny. Take out is the lot south of SAB lodge. It’s not always floatable, easy to twist an ankle in the cantaloupe sized rocks and it’s got plenty of rattlesnakes.
-
That's a pretty good day for that stretch of river, good for you. That Coldwater float is a long one, and the Coldwater access if very remote. I would not leave a vehicle there.

Has been a bit slow, but the blind is looking good.

Saw them in mid 1990 as well. They did not disappoint plus they have some new stuff in addition to there already solid catalog. The opener Lucy Wainwright Roche was a great performer and she had some hilarious jokes, then stuck around to provide backup vocals. Lyris Hung their violinist was great too, awesome electric violin solo . There voices have changed a bit, over time but it was one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. First time back at the Pageant in a long time. Think the last show I saw there was SOJA before Covid.
-
Had the pleasure of seeing them play at the Pageant tonight. They killed it. If you get the chance to see them GO.
-
She did, and it turned out really well with beef instead of turtle. I did it with real snapping turtle for our family's Halloween Soup Party several years back, but and it was awesome. Unfortunately, half the folks at the party wouldn't even try it when I told them it had real turtle in it.
-
Yes the Commander's Palace CB. There is some good stuff in there.
-
I’ve been overruled. My Wife was inspired by my absence this weekend.

Thinking kabobs.

Youth open went well for three young men at our place, They all killed a duck or three. Woodies, and GWT. No big ducks sighted. Dardenne is flooded up and has some birds by latest count. Report from BK area...some big ducks on the river, youth hunter killed 4 on their MI island blind. Decoys are out, along with the side by side. So we will all go ditch work early on Friday to go muck about, to see what we need to fix Saturday & Sunday.

You missed out. They eat allot of crawfish on that creek. Good eats!
