An IGFA world fly fishing record that has been held for over 27 years by Cory Wells, the leader of the internationally famous hit recording rock group Three Dog Night, may be on the verge of being broken. While fly fishing Beaver Creek, on Bull Shoals Lake in Missouri, USA, Michael Bryan Kyle of nearby Springfield, landed a white bass (Morone chysops) on March 26 weighing 1.7 kg (3 lb 12 oz) using a Duane Doty clouser minnow on 4 kg (8 lb) class tippet. Wells caught his 3 lb 8 oz white bass fly fishing Lake Nacimiento, Calif in 1981. Ironically veteran fishing writer Wayne Shaw of the San Luis Obispo (Calif) Tribune was in the midst of writing a feature on Wells and the long standing world record from the local lake. Wells has been a member of the IGFA for over 30 years and held other fly records.

Well they didn't shut the gates down but the water has dropped. It's almost down to pre-monsoon levels. HOpefully by tomorrow they'll be able to get on our dock without having to wear boots. Left several inches of slimy mud on our road.

done

Word is they are going to close ALL the flood gates tomorrow (Monday) and hold Table Rock as close to 930 as possible, just like they did with Beaver Lake. I think the idea is to hold as much back as possible in all the lakes so the White has time to settle downstream. But the next rain we get, they will open them back up. Of course they will run 4 units full, 24 hours a day. This seems almost impossible to me- seeing they ran 5 gates for so long but it does make sense. Don't hold me to it... wait and see. But that's the word.

Yea- it was... my twin?? I am in Boston so it wasn't me.

Surprised anyone admitted to knowing him... way to go Philip.

Didn't go up there... sorry.

In my humble opinion they are fishing above the lake level- just like the stream above outlet 3 is above the lake level. But I doubt if an agent is going to say much...

Robbed this off of 1branson.com's forum. It's, oh, I can't remember his screen name but you all know him!! I'm terrible with real names, let alone forum names. Took yesterday, 4/11. Isn't this the place you always wanted to make just one drift?

I've had a run on new articles and videos I've picked up off KY3. They're posted on the homepage of OA but not on the forum so you'll miss them if you don't check HOME when you log on.

I just noticed... this topic is from May 07! Terry probably can't remember what he said that far back.

I think he was going after average. 30 feet would be closer though.

There's an image in the top left corner - and a banner down and in the center (above image). This is the skin I'm looking for. Anything else you you're using- not the wrong skin- but not the best one.

If Taney "bursts" I don't think it would cause that much of a problem, not as big as it sounds, cause Taney's level and BS's level is pretty much the same. Now if Table Rock or Beaver broke, that'd be a different story.

Really? Just goes to show not many people know about those records... that's an easy feat... not to take away from Micheal's angling ability. Just like JD Dudley breaking 5 line class records, catch and release, last summer in AK on sockeye. They weren't that hard to break, esp since 3 of them were open. I guess that's fly rod class? What is the url of the record site with all the records? Is there more than one official entity recording records?

Are they still running gates at Norfork?? I wonder what the total cfs of both dams are right now?

What skin are you viewing? If you're not viewing a skin with this banner at the top - then you're not viewing the default skin. Some profiles have been changed for one reason or another it seems and you may not be getting the full benefits of viewing the forum. Reply to this and I'll change your settings from the back end.

It is great when a community comes together... and oa is a community of anglers who care. John Wilson's site is another place where there's been good information.

Should be good as soon as water levels drop and water clears a bit. Just have to see when that happens. Keep an eye on the water level charts.

What's at the top of your screen- the Bill and Phil Show banner or google ads?

I think I see what your problem is... I changed the skin you were using to the Pro or default skin. There is a skin in which the icons aren't working. I need to disable it but not sure if anyone else is using that skin what it would do to their view... Is there anyone not using the default or Pro Skin? Having trouble?

Sorry- I had read your PM but haven't decided how to handle it. When you say formatting menu, do you mean the icons across the top of the text box? Do they show up? Do they just not work? What browser are you using? If it's firefox, it may be your browser. I've had trouble in the past with ff and I have to either update it or reboot.

The little white boy sitting next to him is already a goner.
