We have trapped 8 dillos so far this year. I set a live trap in the area they have been rooting with no bait and line up a couple of 2x4's to make a funnel into the entrance. Stupid things find their way unto it.
Don't mind the walleyes and whites, but we don't need any trout eating stripers. From what I have heard, they have done quite a job on the trout in NFOW above the lake.

The Bull Shoals Dam C&R will close tomorrow night until February 1 for the brown trout spawn season. With that said, I have been fishing up there the last week or so. Fishing has been good with some nice rainbows, but only a few small browns and cutthroats. Best flies have been scuds and egg patterns early and then when the sun comes out, cracklebacks.
Here is one of the better ones this morning.
