The trick I know is to dip it in flour first, than the batter. The flour will "glue" the batter to it. Personally I just like cornmeal with the aforementioned flour added.

It is all about increasing the load on the rod, so the haul has to made when the rod is loading. You increase the line speed when you are picking it up and let it go out on the back cast. This gives you line to haul on the forward cast and to shoot forward at the end of the cast. Basically it allows you to get more running line out in the cast. You can't cast running line as you normally cast because you can't turn heavy line over with light line. In other words you can turn the head over with a lot of small diameter running line.

It's ignorant and even the MDC should be smart enough to know that stats from areas where they are thick don't point to any danger to the general public.

I would look at sump pumps. Finding one that will lift the intake far enough might be a problem though. Check plumbing supply's, Granger, and Johnstone.

You need to pull the line as you're making your backcast. This loads the rod more giving it enough energy to shoot the line back. You than do the same, only opposite on the forward cast. The idea of double hauling is in loading the rod more by increasing the perceived weight of the line. This loading increases line speed and energy stored in the rod. Timing is 99.9% of it.

Do you need your jet to do that section?

I'm also a Sammy fan and lean towards the 85 and 100. I don't have a problem with those two but 65 seems to warrant a lot of attention to get it to walk properly. I use them out of kayaks and canoe without any problem, but I use a 5 1/2' rod and braid. I like the braid because it it has little drag, floats and retrieves Sammies from aggressive trees. I also like the Chartreuse, but I have some black ones that work well when they work. I got most of mine from Japan where they have more colors to choose from.

Felt Soled Waders Banned In Mo Trout Waters!
Wayne SW/MO replied to jdmidwest's topic in General Angling Discussion
Last I heard that would be the two, given that RRSP and BSSP are run by the same person. I don't see that it matters that much because they don't move that many waders. It seems me that it is a shot in the dark. The numbers of people wearing waders with felt soles that have been exposed are probably very few. The number of people who have had laces, a net, a knot , and no telling what else exposed won't be affected. I think education is the key. -
Automatic Fly Rod Reel

You might like it. Don't listen to the "experts", to each his own. -

Its not unusual to have outstanding days when confined to a small area of a big lake. Whether it's because of wind, motor problems or deliberate, it can work out well.
-
Yeah you have to go back to Lebanon, get lunch and fill up then go to Lead Mine, then of course you have to repeat to get back. You might want consider renting a canoe from NRO and floating from the 64 access back to their place.

I've had good luck on the pattern that is 1/3rd black followed by 2/3rds red, wrapped with gold wire. I tie these on an 18 with a small black bead head. I probably have my best days when there is a midge hatch and I have an 18 Griffins Gnat tied on.
-
I don't know how the smallie population is in that part. The areas I mentioned have smallies. What kind of watercraft do you have? It's about as close to the areas south of leadmine as it is to LOZ.
-
I'm not sure I understand your question. The upper river is well south of the LOZ. If you're looking for some fishing area away from traffic then Prosperine and lead mine areas would probably be your best bet. They're just above lake Niangua.
-
I haven't found a need for many of the newer patterns on the upper Taney. Simple scuds, soft hackles, HE and G gnats make up most of what I throw. The Black Ghost was a great bass streamer, and probably still is if I would just tie it on.
-
Red or Ginger. They're better in some areas then in others. I try them in slower sections because they haven't performed as well as scuds in the faster flows.
-
You can also buy a Cortland lead core section and cut your own. Put leader loops on them for attachment. I know TC, I forgot to bring them.

8Wt Or 9 Wt For Racine, Wi...suggestions?
Wayne SW/MO replied to 10pointer's topic in General Flyfishing Topics
You might check on E Bay. 10 weights don't seem to bring much there. I used a 10 weight Fenwick Boron one year in Michigan and it did a good job, better than the 8 that I also had with me. -
Careful with the language around the Commander.

Catch And Releaser's Should Stop At Their Limit?
Wayne SW/MO replied to FishinCricket's topic in General Angling Discussion
I think the thought is somewhat silly. Fish don't "learn" like humans. Anyone with much experience in fishing hjas caught a fish, or seen a partner catch a fish almost immediately after release. I didn't even mention the park trout that are caught with a lure in their mouth. What is important is that the fish is returned in as good a shape as humanly possible, then the next guy will have a shot at it. -
I agree the park would be the first choice, but a good alternate is Riverfront, just west of the park on 64.
-
Another negative for a fast sink on shallow narrow waters like Bennett is the time it takes to manage it. You lose a lot of fishing time, or I did, returning it to a position to cast and shoot. With a lead core section you can generally get it to the top easily and you don't have to retrieve a lot of fly line.

A lady that was unbeatable at stripping wooly's kept here rod tip low, used a floating line and a long leader. Her advice was always to get the right cadence and maintain it.
