Dano sent me this... after all the issues on the forum. And getting on a plane in about 36 hours it rings of mischief. But if I'm going to make it to Naknek, I won't be pulling this stunt!!! Forward: If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane, train or bus... 1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case. 2. Remove your laptop. 3. Boot it. 4. Make sure the person who won't leave you alone can see the screen. 5. Open your email to this message. 6. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky. 7. Then hit this link: http://www.thecleverest.com/countdown.swf

Closed Topic... Sorry- thought the issue was resolved.

Not sure if any of the guys will see this before you leave, I assume today, for Table Rock. I'd think the rain would help fishing. The outlets where rain water is entering the lake should be good for bass. I'd try a plastic worm or even a night crawler. Check back and see if Don or one of the other guys replies. Babler is still in AK. Good Luck and have a great weekend.

Very nice. My favorite is pic #1. The others are a close second. Thanks

This is about enough. If you have a problem with ANYONE on this board, have the guts to call them personally, meet them face to face and say what you type to their face. But KEEP IT OFF THE FORUM!!

Had time for one drift this evening before dinner. Boated up just past the narrows above Fall Creek and threw an 1/8th oz sculpin jig against the bluff bank. Lost it on the 5th cast with no strikes. Tied on another, no strikes to Fall Creek. Worked it slow, real slow to keep it close to the bottom. Tied on a white jig, 3/32nd oz, and started fishing the east bank, opposite of Fall Creek. Why white? That's one of my favorite brown banks this time of year (fall) and on the 2nd cast, it paid off. This nice brown. Drifted on down almost to the ramp and headed in. No more bites. Pic came out nice- fish cooperated. They ran water pretty hard late today. I would guess this may slow fishing down alittle away from the dam. I mean when the water goes from say the 60's to the low 50's or high 40's when they run so much water, the trout tend to slow down a bit. This isn't necessarily true of areas above Cooper Creek say but would be in the Branson area and down. There have been some nice rainbows caught the last few days on around the Landing, mainly on power bait and, get this, colored marshmallows. I've also heard fishing down close to Bull Creek has been exceptionally good.

Majestic birds... thanks!

Matt, Thank you very much for posting... we have met but it's been a few years. You have a very good site, full of information that I've used many times for my personal education. I like your photos too. Matt has a forum too, which I would recommend to anyone who loves to fish the Ozarks. Check it out. Your'e more than welcome.

Parrot Head? I must be out of the loop.

The trout I caught in Lilly Lake and in Dream Lake were Greenbacks or at least they look more like Greenbacks than the cutthroat.

You will get that here...

I should be around... I'll bring the chili.

Saw this in the Branson Independent. 3 miles south of Ozark on 65 off EE Hwy. Go east and watch for signs. 10 am Not going to list all the lures but there's alot of old antiques, in boxes and not. Also a few guns, farm equipment and other stuff. It's a Holt Auction. 546-8787 is the phone number.

Only if you fish above highway 65 bridge. Below the bridge, you only have to have one if you keep trout.

Added some ads at the bottom of the page... try it and see what becomes of it. It pays like google- views, clicks and I think buy. I'll keep you up to date on revenue.

Wow- what an undertaking!! Sounds like you know the road since you've already adopted one child from China. What a mission!!! Marsha and I will pray for you guys as you go, and for you continued parenting of all your kids. You are blessed!

http://www.sbj.net/article.asp?aID=78563 Congrats to Stan and Carolyn for another very nice award.

I'm tired of putting fires out on the forum. This is about fishing. Either get along or find another forum. That's goes for everyone.

Will say one more thing and that's all. This quote... there's alot of people who think this statement is true for all of Taneycomo.

I know who healing waters is... I've stopped this before- posters hiding behind a screen name and disking people over fishing techniques. Unfounded accusations and hear say won't be tolerated here. This topic is closed and so is the subject on this forum.

There's been postings on this for some time... but haven't seen anything in a while. Brian Sloss was up on this- may be he can shed some light.

Penatx Optio WPI it is waterproof That's the one I have. It's nice. Get one on ebay.

There's not much. Cooper Creek only has RV -I think!- You might check with them. Otherwise- State Park is the only place I know of.

Sorry- didn't see you edited your first post. My phone doesn't ring at 3 am........

Are you awake??? Details??? Report??? Yes you need a new camera! ~~~Shelling out a hard time~~~
