Describing the dam at Dawt Mill as a navigation hazard is very generous on your part Mr. Catman. Yes, it's a problem.

With the water we'll be getting for the next couple of days, your options should be many. Best of luck no matter where you go. My offer is still open.

I duck hunted and fished for years out of a 16' john boat with a 9.9 Evinrude on it. I wish I had it back right now.

Best river story ever in the history of rivers.

I just learned something! And when I was talking about the Sunfish Family, I was including the larger members.

Oh a drunk float tripper reality show would totally make it in today's market.

That was kind of you. It bugs the hell out of me whenever I see a snapper run over in the road. Some people have no respect for the world they live in.

I'm going to learn to fly fish for the sunfish family. Very nice.

The point of testing at the park and at the two accesses on the James is to sample where people are most likely to be in the water on a holiday weekend, not to characterize water quality. It was the Christian County Health Department doing the testing and reporting, not MDC or even MDNR.

If the contamination is human based, the most likely area is Linden.

Sir, the sample point was the park in Ozark, upstream of Ozark and Nixa's wastewater treatment plant outfalls.

Below the sampling point. Today's testing can tell you what animal the e-coli came from. I'm betting geese based on the sample point being the park in Ozark.

I dumped earlier this year too. Mega wind blowing straight upstream, fast spot and trying to fish when I should have been paddling. It was instant.

I'm still going to try a short - maybe 12" - drag chain.

Chief Grey Bear talk good injun.

Stupendous thread drift.

It's just too wierd. What's sad is there are churches (at least one in Harrison Arkansas) that are so wound around the axle on the whole thing is they say they'll no longer sponsor cub scouts if that decision goes to allow openly gay people in Boy Scouts. To me, that is really sad. No, pathetic and pathogenic.

I don't think so.

There are hundreds if not thousands of tons of nuclear waste. It's not just the rods, it's all the stuff that gets contaminated as part of the day to day operations at a nuke. It's NOT feasible to launch that stuff into space. It does show the depth of understanding of these issues though.

Sinker by far and away.

You need a driver's license to use public roads. Just sayin'.

I grew up in Nevada in the '60's. The Boy Scouts were very active then, I think there were four or maybe five troops in town. Lots of camping trips, and lots of other activities too. Went on my first night hunt with Boy Scouts, caught my first bass on a lure I had made myself, also learned to play poker. The troops were pretty competitive with each other which only added fun. Summer Camp at Frank Childress near Joplin was a deal too. Canoeing, swimming, target shooting. Scouting was a big influence on my life, and a positive one. I made it through Life scout and then actually moved on to Explorers, which was also good until it finally fell apart due to the leader moving away. We had good leaders and I'm grateful for what they gave to me and my friends. Wish I'd have had the chance to do Philmont.

It was shine. Let's see the pics.

We do indeed know pretty well high and low tide times and levels pretty much everywhere. It's the other stuff that gets complicated.

Here's as simple as it gets for me creek / smallmouth fishing. Always imitate crawfish. You can do that with plastics, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.
