  1. We love Monty Python in the Folly household😀! So it's all good. No telling how many times the family has watched the Search for the Holy Grail. Don't have enough fingers or toes 😌.
  2. Congrats @Seth on a great day regardless of getting beat by a giant brown!
  3. Congrats on a successful trip!

    What's Cooking?

    Maybe you're practicing as a short order cook or at least I hope that you had guests 😁. Quite a few good looking burgers there!
  5. Dry run creek is a great spot to ruin your kids expectations of trout fishing 😁. A definite must go IMO. Check my post from our trip in Aug 2017 on the Norfolk tailwater thread. Livie caught three of the four slam species that day and her largest rainbow.
  6. I do the same thing. Except as a wade fisherman it's my pockets that get filled. Much to my wife's concern as she does the laundry😌.
  7. Nice flathead. Kind of jealous since I have not caught one on a rod and reel. Great looking fish and glad that you released it!
  8. I found three species of freshwater sculpin identified in Alaska. Two are spotty in their distribution and mostly coastal. The slimy sculpin has been found all over the state and is the most likely species on that river. Not that many want to know that, but I can't help myself .
  9. Like @timinmo I use EWG hooks. I do tuck the the hook tip into the plastic.
  10. Great dollies and love that shefish! Congrats guys!
  11. Congrats on catching a bunch of keeper crappie! Great report! Sound like a fish fry to follow! Would have loved to seen some fish photos.
  12. @David Goddard congrats on a great float and drag trip ! looks like a great time and with good fishing as well. Not a bad way to finish the summer before you start back up at school.

    Great looking tomato Ness! Looks delicious just by it's self!
  14. I think that I had one on for a short time before it was off. Caught a 38 lb wahoo on my next bait. Can't complain since I think that they are one of the best eating fish out there. Congrats @gotmuddy on some nice fish!
  15. I'm with Flysmallie in zero and in fact even less than zero since I rarely float any Ozark waters for any real distance . That's a direct effect of not having a canoe or kayak. Now if you asked how far would you travel to catch at least one trout in each designated trout park, Taneycomo, and designated trout stream in Missouri (plus at least one not designated anywhere) then I would answer over 2,200 miles .
  16. Many of those people are "fly fishing" the popular locations. There may be some fishermen amongst them that will catch fish.
  17. I wade fish a lot and approach from the bank and not from a boat. I will wear waders as much for protection from walking through brush as I will for staying dry. When I wet wade in the warmer weather I will have a thin pair of long underwear under a light pair of quick dry pants. Again this is for brush, particularly poison ivy or nettles and some resistance to ticks. Many of the creeks that I fish don't have well beaten trails along the banks.
  18. That does not sound like a problem 😀!
  19. I have caught a fish at least three or four times just as I was going to get checked. Do these folks go to the same training that wait staff do where they learn to come to table just as you have a mouth full?
  20. @CLoyd nice report and those are some chumky rainbows! Congrats!
  21. I have been checked much more here in Maryland than in MO. During crappie spawn at the lake outside of. Columbia lake they will check every person along the bank. They are there at least two or three times a week. It's a popular spot so likely to have some folks breaking the law. I don't have any issue with being checked whether it looks like I am doing something wrong or if it is a random check. They need people to see that they will check you. They also catch quite a few folks.
  22. Congrats @Hunter75! Sounds like a great morning of catching on TRL!
  23. @slothman Nice bass . Congrats!
  24. You must be teaching him well! Congrats to you both!
  25. What an awesome trip! Great report and love those muskies! Sounds like one of those once in a lifetime type trip in terms of fishing success. Congrats!
