Can't speak for the Meramec but on the Niangua I don't believe it is a "bunch" of bad giggers, just a few that are doing alot of damage. If they could nab just one of them, and the outfitter that provides safe haven, I think it would eliminate 80% of the problem

The stuff that I have (Osprey ferrule wax) has cotton in it. Chuckie, the most knowledgable flyrod man on the face of the earth told me it was the only ferrule wax worth buying. FWIW I do like it, and only have to wipe clean and reapply about every 5-6 trips.

It will have some color to it for a few days, but if we get no more rain this week it will be in excellent shape by the weekend.

No experience with Kelty, never even heard of them until now. That "normal suggested retail price" they show is a crock though. If you are going to buy a cheap tent I can tell ya that we bought a 40.00 Ozark trails tent at wal-mart for the kids, they tried to destroy it.....and have failed. When we bought it we didn't expect it to last more than the one trip, but it has since been on more than a dozen and it still lives.

Wow ! Seriously.

That's a pretty gill. Nice LM's too, but that gill is a stud!

Al? Serious? Noway! LOL

She was a pretty one, spawning colors I guess. Been catching quite a few (more than usual, anyway) in the last few days. Even the little hammer-handle sized ones are colored up like that They seem to be kinda turned on by that hard-tail clouser.

Here ya go.... http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/index.php?showtopic=32793&hl=&fromsearch=1

And thank dog for that.... cuz there's no shortage on rediculis rules that deserve "skirting".

So tell him you think it's a boatload of half-naked women. That'll get the salaried peckerwood in route with a quickness.

Everytime I get a head cold I try to think of a useful purpose for all that crap.... now I know.

Religion is like a box cutter, you never know who's gonna whip it out and try to fly a plane with it.

The thing I hate worst about Hijackers is those box cutters they're always carrying. Man, you can get a nasty cut from those things.

I thought the fish came before salamanders.

Well thanks! I figured I'd catch some flack over that "non-typical clouser". LOL

Why would "knowing me personally" make a difference? If I take someone fishing and they buy me dinner, how does that effect you negatively? Dinner could be 16.00 or 300.00 and whether or not you know either of us "personally" still doesn't make it any of your (or anyone elses) business. Who are you eating dinner with tonite, and how does that effect Me? It doesn't, so you enjoy your dinner and let others enjoy theirs.

Back from where? So your county judges base their "judgements" on personal opinions over and above the classification and associated punishment for any given crime. Ironically, if anyone else in the court system were doing their job properly a judge who does that would be unemployable by the state. I know that in many unlawful acts using a boat, truck ect. it can result in a seizure of the items used in the crime.

I love it when political correctness falls at the feet of curmudgeonism. Makes me feel like less of an overall jackass.

Ultra clear water is a curse if you ask me. Sure it makes for a pretty float and makes the women less freaked out about alligators, sharks, and anaconda's but I prefer to see some color in the water when I'm trying to fool fish.

Thanks Laker. Nothing exciting happening in my neck of the woods, bet they are in yours though

I'm not very knowledgable about walleye habits, is it odd for them to still have a belly full of eggs in late March ? I caught one from a LO trib yesterday that was packing a full load.

Me thinks it ain't the fly. EN could catch a carp with a piece of belly button lint if he wanted to.

Hmm, well consider this.... It's a "brand new Nitro", and you sure paid a premium price for that system that you don't trust. It's a quality system, Trust it. And of it fails then use that warranty that you are also paying for. Sound reasonable?

Wouldn't an agent or a LEO be going against his oath then, by turning a blind eye to people openly and blatently bragging about it ? I remember when Mark Twain lake was filling up, as the water level rose snakes were on the move like crazy. There wasn't a week gone by that someones picture wasn't in the paper with a big dead snake. Moccasins, copperheads and rattlers mostly were what made the papers, along with dinosaur-sized snapping turtles. Hell, my dad killed so many snakes he shoulda been doing life in prison. And he wasn't the only one either. Speaking of "sitting on your nuts" doesn't it seem ironic that a lawman can pick and choose which law he is going to enforce on any given day. And turn a blind eye to the ones he "personally" doesn't really care about. Some system we have, hu?
