I know Dave well enough to be certain that selling a few hundred dollars worth of heads for Ned rig is not keeping his family or his boat afloat.

Whoopise my bad. Still thinking flooding on the lower river is a major concern.

It's a big deal regardless of who was involved and what was done (or not done) with any information that was gained illegally or even unethically.

I think it has more to do with the Arkansas River than anything else.

Water clarity is an indicator of the relative fertility of a lake. Fertility directly relates to phytoplankton productivity, which in turn relates to everything on up the food chain. So that's correct, TR won't be as productive in terms of numbers or total pounds of fish than other more fertile lakes. And for what it's worth, there are MAJOR efforts being made to protect TRL from heading further up the trophic ladder. Right now it's closer to oligotrophic than mesotrophic and a long way from eutrophic. That water clarity / trophic status is a large part of why the lake is such a popular destination.

Seriously hoping that the Cardinals don't wind up in the mud over this. Class organization and if there is anything to it let heads roll and put it in the history books sooner rather than later.

There are a lot of people on OAF that I am 100% certain that would be better as POTUS than anyone who actually stands a chance of being elected to that position. Ness for sure. Too many others to mention them all by name and why they would be better. But no kidding there are some good - really good - people here on OAF.

Its the latter.

48 across the bottom

Not yet. Too much water and too little time so far. They are on the the playlist though, trust me on that one.

You might think so but really it just makes other fishermen mad.

So how did they taste?

The problem with Mary Decker and a Shawnee is finding a place wide enough for the boat. I didn't recall Clabber being like that at all but it's been years since I've been through it.

That's all well and good Dave. Just do me a favor and keep it quiet about the little z-man stuff you sent me, don't think the rivers could stand much of that action.

We finally got enough rain that the river is well and truly blown out this morning. Yesterday afternoon it had come up about a foot and was showing some color but was not really all that bad. This morning it's up about four feet above normal and truly muddy.

mini me to the max

Lets stop talking about it and do it.

I wonder how Clabber compares to Mary Decker.... We need to make this happen. When the water goes back down a little after the rain this week. Maybe one of our local spies could help there.

Man that sky looked threatening. And it wasn't an empty threat either.

I'll try to put together a trip for there with the OAF good ole boys and wives - late September or any time in October. Watch your PM's.

Game times are a problem.

Wow I just looked at it on the ROLF website. WHAT A PLACE!!!

More follow up on the smoked pickled eggs. Really adds a nice touch to a chef salad. When this batch is gone, I will definitely make another. And won't be diddling around with the recipe either.

They sold it instead of giving it away. Not that complicated. The guy at ROLF will take good care of it and I'll more than likely stay there someday. That area really is special.

We agree twice in one week. World stopped spinning for just an instant.
