Once you've taken a bite of wedding cake it really doesn't matter what your junk looks like, because nobody is ever going down there again. 🙄

I was going to start charging for parking on my property during the weekends because people always ask to park there when going to the party spot down the road. AND THEN I learned that if I charge them to park I may be legally responsible if their vehicle gets broke into or damaged. So I just gotta let them park there, or gate it off. So...... remember that, if your vehicle ever gets damaged in any way while at Quarry Park. 👍

Razors and a bare nutsack have NO BUSINESS in the same room as each other !

I don't think his butt has a basal cell carcinoma, and I'm darn sure not sharing this 400.00/tube medication with him. He'll have to settle for this 14.00 stuff....and coconut oil.

He had a dry flakey area there that he kept knawing at. We shaved it off so that I could better inspect it, and treat the skin without greasing up a bunch of hair & fur.

At a place like Bennett Spring the sketchy wading spots, or places where the walking is risky to access the stream, are usually the premium spots to be. Most casual visitors prefer well manicured paths, and easy to wade areas, with ample backcasting space. They seldom challenge themselves.

Yeah the pipe is there..... but nothing is coming out of it.

They WOULD HAVE. Luckily their plan went south. Any KNOWLEDGEABLE biologist, that had any fishing experience, would have realized that putting an exhaust water pipe in that spot was detrimental. Hopefully the NEW PLAN will abandon that for good.

Oh man, this stuff here... Yum !!! 😋 47.00 a bottle though??? 😳. Why?

No, that hussy wouldn't help me ! 🙄 Had to do it all myself, and I'll be the first to admit that "manscaping" makes me as nervous as walking through a mine field. I've got a genuine case of PTSD to deal with now. 😥

If you've never busted your @$$ tripping over a greased cannon ball boulder in the High Bank hole.......then you've never actually fished Bennett Spring. 😊

Strike King. Yeah they do something on the fall (and during pauses) that no other lipless crankbait does.

Orion had to have his rump shaved, So I shaved mine too. It's a lot cooler👍 Don't worry, I'll spare you the pic of mine.

I'm not sure what the thermometer said earlier, but everyone in the area could tell you what I said when I grabbed the wrench and steering bracket that I had left setting in the sun for 30 minutes 🤬

Here's the thing....... There are all types of water at Bennett. Fast shallow water, Slow deep water, Weedbeds, Rootwads, Riffles, Boulders, Tailouts, Shoots, Slower flats, ect. It's a great place to practice, or learn, FLYFISHING. Nymphing, Dryfly fishing, Swinging wets, Streamers, Sight fishing, Pocket water fishing, ect. Stocker trout bite the exact same way as wild trout, so you can hone your strike detection and hook setting skills to a fine art. So if you learn to fish all those different types of holding areas, and practice until you can do it WELL throughout the entire stream...... you'll be a good trout fisherman anywhere in the world you choose to go. However, if you're one of those guys that just stands knee deep in the hatchery outlet, or on the bridge, dam, or handicap jetty, with a mop fly under a bobber ALL DAY......You ain't learning or practicing Jack $#!t.

1/4oz. Redeye Shad in THIS color, and a rod with 10-12# line that can sling it a country mile. That's all you need.

I've been saying it for years...... It was way better way back when a couple of drunks with Pall Mall's hanging out of their mouths hauled feed across the road in a wheel barrow and slung it out of a coffee can. They got all that fancy expensive gear, hired highly educated fisheries biologist's, and the place went to hell. 🙄

I just learned that a restaurant in Laurie has Crickets on the menu. 🤔

Yeah it doesn't take long for a thread here to turn from rod-building/fly tying.....to a discussion on the fastest way to get rid of a case of crabs. 👍 That's why I love this place. 😉It's just like hanging out in my shop.

I have a buddy that lives off Rolling Hills, and I knew that Gateway went all the way to AA because I looked at a map......But I assumed that it turned to gravel. It's good to know that it doesn't. 👍 As for Independence...... That's where my machine shop is. 😉

And they act like there's nothing in the woods to eat. Gotta be alongside a road, or in somebody's yard to get fed. 🙄

Mitch is ribbing me because he knows I hate running mainlake points. 😅

No doubt. Better than anything I've done in the last few years. That's for sure! 👍

The literal brains of the Current river brown trout & Black river Walleye program back in those days was a good friend of mine. He hurt his back while on the job.....and because he ONCE (long before) had some weed in one of the trucks and was reprimanded for it, they (MDC) denied his workman's comp.....which financially ruined him for life. He worked for MDC for a LONG TIME, practically his whole working life....and they took a dump on him only when it was convenient for THEM. Because of something 6-7 years prior. The douchebags on the cafe (including a couple that I believe are among us here) 100% backed up MDC on that decision, several of them saying what a worthless pothead he was, and that he deserved it. 🙄 Left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Nice bag! Can he do it AGAIN? 😅
