Tim, I am new to the whole world that is fly fishing and i wanted to tell you that your advice as well as a kind couple of guys on the roaring river know what you are talking about!!! i went out yesterday with my fly rod and some mild anxiety for having never been to roaring river and having only used my flyrod to land one trout. I arrived around 730am at your fly shop only to see you werent yet open. So i headed on down to purchase a tag from the store. I noticed they had a decent selection of flys and i recalled your report on what was working the best and made a purchase. I picked up three B.W.O. , an adams, and a wooly bugger(black). i then headed to the picnic area across the street for i had no clue where to go. I played down there for about an hour without luck and one lost bwo. i had a few strikes but no takers. I decided i was in the wrong place and i headed to zone three to spin cast and get my bearings. i caught three nice rainbows on a black rooster tail and three small on orange power egss. this was great but i felt defeated on the fly rod. So i headed back to the picnic area where i ran into a guy catching a rainbow every other cast. i asked him what he was using and he said crackleback and we had a nice conversation. i tried a crackle down the stream a ways and caught one right off the batt. i recalled that it was one of the flies you had recommended and i had renewed faith in my skills so i headed down below the big bridge in the catch and release zone. i tied on a bwo and fun ensued. Caught about 25 in a hundred yard area. thanks for the advice and i am a roaring river fan for good now. Fly fishing was everything i was hoping it could be for me!!

how do you get to the pothole? im really gonna try the fly fishing for whites and wallys this spring and i have been to the dam down ther but never to the pothole.

Speaking of truman dam anyone know a good method for stripers up there been twice only to catch small whites, crappie, and cats

I know they run the little sac near eudora pretty hard if you are really interested

This may be an outdated comment by a new member but i love the little sac out near Eudora and it is definitely a distinct possibilty to take a nice walleye or ten in the early spring. Also, i caught a hundred plus swollen white bass there. One of which weighed in at three and a half pounds.
