High water is a plus, but go at low light if it is low and clear. If you see or roll one, come back and try again tomorrow at a better time. Don’t let a big brown see or hear you. Usually game over if that happens.

It has always been a tough stretch to do well on. Fished it two or three times a week after work for a couple summers and had some great days. They hold on wood in the fine gravel areas, and eat minnows & midge sized stuff mostly. Must eat plenty of minnows because they aren’t always hungry. Have not caught a good brown there in awhile, but have not put in the effort to be there at prime time (dawn or dusk).

Hate a full moon with clear water. They can eat all night! At least you got out, great day to be out.

Glad things are going well Jim! Will have to hook up with you and Pete for a trip after tax season.

Have not seen Jim or Brad in awhile. Both are awesome flycasters.

Tucker did a video there years ago, found it on you tube.Fly Fishing in the Garden of Darkness

Will you have a generator to charge the batteries? If so, I would bring your Helix. You will need it for the Lakers...they hang really deep. Marked them in 90' of water on Lake Nym last fall.

They do take flies. Some friend's used to chase them with fly rods at some lake spillway in Illinois. Guess the thrill of catching big stinky fish wore off because I haven't heard anything about it in several years. I'm sure the fish are still there if anyone wants to seek them out and catch them.

Ham it's the closest river trout for the St Louis guys. Only an hour & a half one way. Current is 2.5 hours, 11pt or NFOW around 4, Niangua is 3.5 I guess. Arkansas or Taney 4.5 our so.

Just tossed a porterhouse in the bath. Firing the grill in a bit. Should feed 4.

Looks good FW! Hard to top shore lunch for dinner.

Some species of crawfish dig burrows on land. Can't tell what it is from your picture.

You got two bad baits. Where did you get them? Would send them back. Have had no quality issues with my Mega's.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Pat!

Willing to share some info, but won't mark an X on a map for anyone I don't know, like, and trust.

The Bug Assault is allot of fun. Second on the wasps...It just makes them angry.

Had a room mate that used to sleep walk. Its pretty creepy, They wander around, mumble, do strange stuff, and never remember any of it.

Point of aim, point of impact.Not always the same. Remember where you think it was then observe. Bad shot don't mark it. But good shot, Mark were you think you were when it sent a round down range.
-
Debarb all mine. Have been stuck plenty of times but no big deal. Minor flesh wounds mostly. Pull right out, or a minor tug.
-
Was fun. Wife & kids did a bit of shooting while I Bbq'd. They had some difficulty cocking the Benji. So got out the red riders for them after they shot a dozen each. They shot at the rat mostly and did really well.
-
Yeah folks stand around & wait. Remember when the street across the way was blocked by a downed tree from a storm. We were ready to eat dinner, but noticed it. Lots of folks standing around and calling the city. Gassed up the chainsaw put on my rain jacket and it was outa their in 15 minutes.

Got it dialed in!

Dropped the new trigger in tonight. Took all of 10 minutes. Feel is much better. Scope on to. Can't wait to fire tomorrow.
