snagged in outlet 3

I wish I hadn't read this thread. The image of two grown men in a tent and one standing over them with a woman's housecoat on is burned into my minds eye, and it ain't pretty. SIO3

Not from what I've seen. I saw guys fishing in the park on a Thursday around 2 months ago. I reported it on here and some other members here said they unknowingly fished the park in the winter. SIO3

The current doesn't muddy up as bad as other steams. Just stay up near the park You can always fish in the park. SIO3

This was posted by Steve Dally on an Arkansas forum. It seems the corp has it both ways, without paying for trout mitigation. "Discussing it with a couple of people this morning who hav been reading this stuff they were amazed the Corp receives a such a large slice of the generation revenue AND gets the year to year operations and maintenance bill footed by the Presidential Budget, and special capital works come from the Budget too and yet don't pay for mitigation Perhaps this state of affairs was understandable when the dam was first built with a much lower population/power demand. Now Bull Shoals is paid for and its a cash cow. The Corp simply should meet the bill with an earmarked very specification allocation to meet the needs of the mitigation hatcheries, including the $ in deferred maintenance _ after all that was the intent of the statement in the budget from the Commander in Chief" SIO3

Good luck with that. Kinda pushin the envelope with the Dallas legend aren't ya? Dallas and Idol? Jumped the shark my friend. SIO3

I wasn't sure Justin guided. If so I would go with him. He contributes more here than the others. SIO3

What a great story!! SIO3

Yeah Gmuddy. His comment makes me think he might be cornfusing The North Fork of The White with the Norfork tailwater. Two different places Ringer. SIO3

I'm with Kevin, large noggin. Love my Maui Jims. Pete

Sorry TC, but you know Don Paradise is a real member of Ozark Anglers. Pete

That's a deal!!! Wish I could pull it off. Pete

darn Gavin!! Have you spent too much time out west? Pete

Now that's hilarious Tactician!!! Pete

I know Don Paradise and FT57 is right. Like a dog on a bone. Pete

Let's hear em.

I never said OB was you Outside Bend. I stated right off the bat I have two pair of wading shoes and if felt is banned. I'll comply. SIO3

I can appreciate what you do Cricket, but that thing isn't ever going to be a classic SIO3

It's okay I guess. But I don't muse. And I don't drink Maker's, ever. Just look at the video I shot of Jimmy bag o donuts and the intern at Taney. Maker's will fog you noggin, SIO3

Okay let’s get in the time machine and jump forward 7 years. Felt has banned for 6 years now and diddy has spread across the MO Ozarks like a cold at a daycare. Through the miracle of science and technology, developed at Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, we know who spread the diddy into MO. TSI Mountain Home (Trout Stream Investigation) led by Don Paradise has identified the original vector. Don is just like Don Johnson in Miami Vice, only instead of a pastel suit and cigarette boat, Don Paradise wears Simms G3 waders and gets around on a sit on top Kayak. He’s an imposing figure. To protect the innocent Don won’t name names but uses the culprit’s initials, OB. It has been determined that OB had been fishing The White River that fateful weekend and then made his way west to Taneycomo to fish. He didn’t have felt soled wading boots but his neoprene gravel guards were still wet when he entered the water. The few spores needed to infect the waterway were dispersed by OD unknowingly. OB had difficulty at Taney catching any fish so he raced up 44 to catch a limit at Bennett for the frying pan. Little did he know that residing in the neoprene liner of his new Vibram soled wading shoes were more spores. They had hung on for dear life until he hit the water at Bennett Spring. After another unsuccessful try to catch trout at Bennett he headed to a secret trout fishing location on his way to St Louis. We’ll just use the initials to throw everyone off the trail, BSC. He was also skunked at BSC but what he failed to realize were the spores that had been hiding in landing net webbing since AR. The same net fisherman use to remove the protective slime on fish when they catch fish only to be released. He had stumbled in the water at BSC and the net which had stayed out of the water at Taney and Bennett was now transferring the deadly organism to BSC. This my friends, is how the Ozarks became a waste land for trout fishing. When OB was informed of his misadventures he was confused, because he had not worn his felt soled wading shoes. He was extremely upset, for he was a concerned conservationist and fisherman, who loved his trout streams. Sad and dejected upon hearing the news he looked down at his dog and said “Come on Diddmo, let’s go in and have dinner. Mom is cooking up the trout I snagged in outlet 3 on my last trip to Taneycomo.
