Your right Hammer time watching the dogs work be it quail or a good beagle runnung a rabbit is always worth it. Get to see and hear few quail on girlfriends place in ash flat ar. Some day we would like to manage it more for the birds.
Ham been using the Davy knot probably same as wotton knot for tying fly on tippets. Simple, quick to ty even with my eyesight and no real problem breaking fish off unless I put to much pressure on the tippet.
It was rough when we took off at 7pm, hid in a cove till about 10 then made our way down to dam. Not as bad, oh fish seemed to like when band at bar to their break. music playing and no bites. They were not the greatest singers in the world LOL
Short report from saturday night. Fished in dam area and caught 10 keepers up to 3 1/2 pounds. Fished all night and best bite was before midnight. Big worms and brushhogs where the ticket. Stayin in 25 feet of watre throwing up into 10. Most fish bit on first drop but like wrench stated if you hit cover popping it off sometimes got a bite. Good night for me as LOZ usually kicks my butt.
Hey Champ you should carry fsihing rod with you to make few casts in sugar creek. Water always looks fishy when I drive by on way to Bentonville. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone!!!!
