No hook restriction. I have no experience using red hooks. Patterns - there's no bad pattern. I've caught alot of browns on brown, rainbow, shad, gold, clown... many others. I use mainly rapala but others use rogues and pointers.
Cooper Creek Public Access is off Fall Creek Rd. FC runs from 165 (where Fall Steak House burned) to 76 near the Pizza Hut. Follow the signs to Cooper Creek Resort. The turn off is 2 miles from 76, 3 miles from 165.
Those that have followed my adventure this summer already have heard about this place, but I wanted to bring it up again because the calendar is already filling up for next summer.

He's also offering a fish-on-your-own rate of $1395, lodging, meals and a boat.
I'll be spending part of the summer up there... haven't decided just how long as of yet but it will be substancial.
I thought I'd do something fun here...
Guess the date the counter hits 4,000,000 and win 3 night stay here at the Landing worth $265.00.
You get one guess. Post the date and year. Only one date can be picked. I'll post a compilation of dates taken every once in a while.
Deadline on 'guessing' is November 1, 2006.
I need to book a cruise for next August for our family. It's my parents 50th aniversary and that's what they want to do.
Anyone have any experience with them? I've heard the Princess is the best for intercostal waters... getting closer to the wildlife. Cleaner.
We aren't interested in shows or gambling.
Thanks!!
I got into a long conversation with Fox Statler at the conclave. Haven't seen him since last year's conclave and all he could talk about is the chicken-debacle. He knows ALOT of the subject- had my head spinning with all the politics and facts about chicken droppings and such. I'll drop him an email and see if he'd share some of it with us- it's really interesting stuff.
I have an article on using stick baits for browns called Big Baits- look under the article section under Taneycomo. I think most of your questions will be answered. If not- check back.
They've been lined up for weeks at #2... "it's isn't just for autumn".
There are a good number of browns already below the dam. Many of them in the 16-24 inch range. They are skiddish during the day unless it's windy or cloudy. Of course there are a bunch around outlet #2 during the day... but there are lots at rebar and below rebar to big hole.
Medium to large floating stick baits thrown at night either from a boat or wading. Wading- below the dam down to Lookout is accessable. From a boat- from Lookout down to our place. You have a fairly good chance to hang a big one.
What browser do you use? I use netscape- and created this in netscape. I looked at it using explorer- the text is different sizes and fonts... but it looks ok. I'll recreate it in dreamweaver and see what happens.
