Yea- this was CRAWLING uplake at a turtle's pace. I took this and posted it so that's the time it went by. Maybe 1 mph. 4 miles traveled. I'll find out when they started - I assume from the RR bridge downtown Branson. There was a pontoon on the far side helping but I bet not much.

City of Branson has contracted a company to uncover the 2 intake water lines uplake from us that feed the city's water plant. They've been trying to blow gravel away from the pipes for a few weeks to no avail. Today they're bringing in the big guns!

I've received a lot of PM's and sent out all requests yesterday and some today. I have hundreds of decals- won't run out any time soon.

Going to say- there's others that would. Brian should be excellent.

Mic- better hurry- they're leaving Friday. Gone till October.

I thought extending your arm makes the fish look bigger??? Thanks for the report!

Have a bunch going out in the mail today. 4 stickers each.

You could see that slam coming... rookie pitcher than wanted to power one by a big hitter, behind on the count... down the middle. He didn't miss.

She doesn't mid touching... baited her own worms. It's holding, pic and releasing that I like to help with.

Thank you!

Great pictures! Thanks for posting.

It's a joy to watch them. Matheny has the luxury to try his new, young pitchers (like yesterday's game) even if it means losing a game here and there because he knows his ball team is in good shape to win the next, with Lynn pitching and the team hitting like it is. These rookie pitchers are brought up under the best of circumstances.... their team is backing them with good play and that gives them the confidence to do well. I remember just a few years ago, Cards were frustrating to watch because their pitching was lagging behind their batting and defense... they just couldn't hold a lead. If they find a closer they're really going to be hard to beat.

coreykallmbah - send me your name/address vonreed - same. I'm not fishing as much these days... leaving in 2 weeks so HURRY!

Here are the results of the first annual Fly Casting Contest sponsored by RIO, Trout Unlimited and Lilleys' Landing Resort. It was held at the Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery, mid day today.

I personally have to protest... I had to leave early to do a TV interview for a Dallas News station... I thought I relayed to the crew I threw 74' 6" and I had a witness! Doesn't pay to leave a Doty in charge! Thanks everyone for helping... Brian Shaffer, Duane and Mona Cheri Doty and Darin.

I have gotten more requests on this thread than any other... super!

Got 'em

What's your address and I'll send you some. Anyone else?

Talked to Jeremy Rasnick (ranger for the Corp and native to Branson). Said the water temp needs to be 80 for them to get good. Normally it's good most of June into July but water is much cooler than normal.

The ones we're wanting are big 'uns... too big for trot lines. My son Caleb with one we caught last week.

I've hit some points close to the dam twice this week with fair results. I haven't found the right depth yet I guess. Using worms and fishing 15 to 30 feet deep. Catching smallies and channel. Had 10 the other day but only 1 yesterday, fishing 2 hours from 3-5 pm. Stayed in the Moonshine area. I know everything is still behind by a week or so and it's only June 7th.

Took Caleb and Maggie drift fishing this morning. Drifted night crawlers from Fall Creek to the old Sun Valley. Best drift was from the River Pointe Ramp to Sun Valley. Maggie out caught Caleb by a couple. She caught 5 rainbows to Caleb's 2 rainbows and 2 browns. The brown in the pic was caught in front of the old Riverlake place. The nice rainbow Maggie caught was in the same area. Didn't do anything to the worm... just cut in half and hung it off the hook naturally. Caleb is my son and Maggie his bride. They're visiting from the Boston area.

Looks like he's already been there...
