  1. Yes, it shows the scheduled flow on the left side of the screen and current flow on the right side. But as Snagged said, it doesn't show the previous flows. I use the USACE web page to see the current and previous flows, so I know what's coming further downstream. Bull Shoals Lake
  2. Yep, smoking took my Dad from lung cancer in his early 60's.
  3. Got to love the old cars in the video. We used to fish Bennett when we lived in Florissant in the late 50's and early 60's but never went for opening day. There were lots of characters down there. I remember meeting Pete and Marie Cento who each held the Missouri record rainbow trout record back then.
  4. Lots of smokers back then.
  5. Cool video... Facebook
  6. I use my 2-stroke leaf blower. Works great.
  7. We ended up with about 4". Way less than what was in the forecast. Still cold with 11 degrees right now.
  8. Our latest forecast is showing 15.4" tonight here in Cotter. Yuuuck.

    BS dam 2-17

    With the blizzard coning tomorrow I made a trip to the BS dam access. I was met by our local Game Warden, and he doesn't bother to check me these days. Always good to see him out there. Fishing was pretty good. A friend caught a nice rainbow right of the bat and I ended with 9. Best flies for me were egg patterns and a UV nymph my friend tied. Here is best rainbow....
  10. Sure, no problem
  11. Waded at Rim Shoals this morning and had a good trip. Water was at minimum flow but still a bit higher than normal due to runoff from the recent wet weather. Best flies today were an olive/brown woolly bugger and the usual egg patterns fished in tandem. Ended the morning with lots of rainbows and 1 cutthroat. No browns today. Here are a couple of the better rainbows...
  12. Nice brown and glad you had beautiful weather the last few days.
  13. We used to shoot a few when I lived in South Texas. The breast fillets were great on the grill. They deserve the label Ribeye of the Sky. Another unusual great eating bird down there was the Fulvous Whistling Tree Duck.
  14. Here is another White River fattie....
  15. Chunky White River rainbow.
  16. It is what it is. I think AGFC has done a great job creating a world class trout fishery here in Arkansas. Big thanks to Christy Graham and the AGFC folks. Here is a video I took yesterday of a pair of nice rainbows doing their spawning thing and another male trying to crash the party.
  17. I agree. The browns seem to be skinnier, but some of the rainbows and cutthroats are fatties.
  18. I could care less about a trout's genetics. They are just a fun fish to pursue.
  19. It finally warmed up enough to get out and fish, so I took the boat up to the State Park. Fishing was good on the 1-unit flow and the fish were hungry. Caught a bunch of rainbows and 2 decent browns on a sculpin imitation fly. The south wind picked up and made it difficult to work the fly, so I left a bit early.
  20. Here is a pic of one of the prettiest fine spots that I have caught. This guy was caught on the White River in early summer during the caddis hatch.
  21. I would think they should be.
  22. The Snake River one was caught in May during the caddis hatch and was in its spawning color phase. The Bonneville was caught in January. My understanding is that the cutthroats spawn late spring/early summer.
  23. Here are a couple pics to show the difference between the Snake River variety and the Bonneville variety. First one is a Bonneville, second one a Snake River. I haven't caught a Bonneville since 2023, so they are getting pretty rare.
  24. The weather finally warmed up a bit, so I was able to get out and do some fishing. SWPA schedule showed 1 unit all day. Fishing was good with lots of rainbows on a size 16 Y2K under an indicator. I also had good luck on bigger fish using a 1/32 oz olive and brown jig. Got this pretty brown on the jig.
