Thanks fellas. I've got to head over towards West Plains to meet him @ my family's property, and he's adament about fishing in AR - I think b/c of the 4 species. I'm in spgfld so I'm down to Taney as much as possible, but just bought my first house so I haven't been as much as I'd like. We'll probably head to the White. I'll let you know how it goes.
