    I haven't been uplake... there's still alot of ice on our docks and the wakes of passing boats my put us all under. So I'll wait till may be this pm to get out.

    The ramp downtown is open and useable. Not sure about Cooper.

    Blue Haven's has collapsed according to one of their guests that called our office. Lake Shore- one of their dock's is gone. Lamar said dozens of private docks along the lake are underwater. The large dock in Turkey Creek collapsed. Lamar said he figured he pushed over 7000 pounds of ice off his dock last night.

    You're right- and those driving from the north- Beaver is just as close or closer. K-Dock is accessible from the west- Branson. It's another 20 minute drive for us, although I like putting it at River Run and fishing the upper part too but I understand their ramp isn't useable.

    Today- sun just now came out.

    It shouldn't affect this weekend... we're still taking reservations. Supposed to be 50 on Saturday. The docks collasped from the weight of the ice. I've seen 22 inches of snow on our docks but this ice was much worse. I'll have pics from this am later- here's from yesterday.

    No snow- all ice. Not pretty enough to take pics as far as I'm concerned... but the web cam is pointed toward out downed dock.

    damage docks- Lilleys lost 4 stalls on their upper dock Cooper Creek lost both their docks and it looks like their boats are under the dock. Docks ok so far- Lazy Valley and Ozark Trout's dock are holding. Scotty's dock and boats are in good shape. Don't know about Trout Hollow or lower lake. Last I heard, Lake Shore and Blue Haven's docks were not looking good.

    We got what we could. Shouldn't be any more damage. The temp is dropping like a rock and it's quite raining/sleeting/iceing/snowing. But I've heard a couple of big limbs fall on the neighbor's place and a tree fall on the bluff across the lake. I hope that's not a sign of things to come tonight.

    Lost our upper dock- collapsed. Going out for round 3- trying to get the ice off the rest of the dock. Fun Fun

    Just checked the radar and the ice is still showing over and around us. Still no trees down. Power is good. We went out and got as much ice off the front edge of our dock as possible- it helped.

    Our dock is not in good shape. We usually climb on top of it and shovel snow off it when it's this bad but I just tried and it's mostly ice, not much to shovel off. Some of the fingers are under water. Not sure how much more before it collapses or turns over. Never seen it this bad. No trees or branches down. Very fortunate. Phone is ringing off the wall with reservations... I guess everyone's thinking about warmer times while shut in the house... making plans.

    Posted a map last night- it's pinned on the Crane Creek Forum.

    Doesn't look good down here in Branson- I'm sure it doesn't look good all over the area. KY3's site is down. Depending on where their server is, that probably means Springfield's power is down. We had rain most of the night but it's now starting to cling to the trees. We'll see if it's bad enough to bring them down before it stops. When will it stop? Not sure. We have one big tree that leans over the lake and the dock. If it goes it will flatten a section of our dock.

    Tailwaters- there's no guaranteed as far as generation. There are ways to get an idea- weather forecast, history, lake levels- but you just never know. Best time- honestly- anytime you can get away. No time like the present. 70-foot rig - you can park it along the road heading into the hatchery area and walk to the water. I would not attempt to pull it into the parking lots.

    My son Caleb shared this video site. The videos here are much nicer and you can even upload videos in HD. I uploaded my jig fishing video- much clearer. http://ozarkanglers.com/index.php?option=c...view&id=526 Check it out. http://www.vimeo.com/

    Terry- can you email me the original?
  20. Phil Lilley
    Thanks, John. I plan to fish on Monday, 2/2. I'm hoping for running water. I'm bringing white jigs!!!

    I think it's a combination of what you can afford and how much (or little) you appreciate their work (or lack of). I relate it to tipping a waiter. If I like the service and appreciate the work that's done, and I can afford to tip more than the average (15%) then I will. Same with guiding. rps covers the good points very well.

    I'm jumping in the middle of this, not reading everything, but someone mentioned mortality of trout caught on bait. MDC says 20% while artificial is 5%.

    Never seen their site before... had to add it to OA's links. Nice yellow perch. They are really a pretty fish.
