  1. I plan to be down thursday night leaving Saturday. I do not have a boat and I know it's the Jigfest but I like to fly fish. Pete
  2. I've been buying them online since it became available. Love it! Saves time and money. I trim it down to the smallest it can be but still have all the info. Fold it half and laminate it myself with clear box tape. One in my waders that stays there all year and one for my pocket when not wearing waders. Plus, if I print it at work I feel like my getting over on the man. Pete
  3. I have several Sages including a brand new light line series. It's never been wet.
  4. I've met charlie too. River Run Outfitters used to have a Helios on their front porch to test cast. I loved it the first time I tried it. I waited until the Helios 2 came out and they dropped the price the original and I bought one. I don't think a person could go wrong with either a Sage One or Helios. The Helios replaced my Sage VPS that I have had for years. Along with 15 other rods I don't use. Pete
  5. Ham, I too just wore out a pair of goretx boots and I'm looking to replace them. Can you add a link to the ones you bought please? Pete
  6. I have a Helios with a Litespeed. Love it.
  7. Man that is one nice setup.
  8. Davey knot all the way. It's smaller, uses less line (fluoro cost $15 per spool) and doesn't curl up the tippet. Pete
  9. Just kidding. I thought the 10 page thread about the Ned concluded it was just a grub? pete
  10. Plus one on wool. I got Simms winds stoppers as a gift. Stick with wool. Better yet. Leave winter fishing to me. Pete
  11. Rick!!! Control yourself. Pete
  12. Article says he caught it on a Ned rig. Pete
  13. I'm stopping there on my way to Norfork. Probably hit the North Fork of the White and the Spring. Of course boat fishing on the Norfork and White. Pete
  14. Can I say it again? Doesn't this always happen with boats? Pete
  15. I'll have a good idea of what's going on down there tomorrow around 9AM. If you know what I mean. Pete
  16. Thanks Ham. I just found that BS is 450' at zero and right now it's 459'. Thanks to old chart on His Place website! If we fish the dam area that I know pretty well I will "start" with a 12' to 14'leader. 9' plus the normal 3' or 4' of water up there. It's not exact but it helps. BTW, I meant indicator not bobber. Pete
  17. Since I bobber fish with a fly rod it gives me a good idea of how long my leader should be. Not exact but it helps when I first start out. Pete
  18. What is the tailwater elevation for the White and Norfork on zero generation? I think it used to be on the lake levels charts but I don't see it anymore. I'll be down Wednesday afternoon to Saturday. Pete
  19. Check out a documentary called Gasland. I think there is a 2nd one too. I sell steel casing and it can be used for well casing but that's not my market. If you don't think fracking is bad for the environment you need to read up. The least of your worries are quake's. Produced water is poison. Pete
  20. Just like trout fishing below the dam. We tried several different drift lanes until we started catching fish and then stuck to that one. It was in January and it was cold. It's been 25 years ago I bet. Pete
  21. Yep, true story. After he passed away he was voted into the Federation of Fly Fishers Legends of the Southern Council in 2011. He had a whole bunch of awards over the years and I got to meet a lot of famous fly fisherman from him while I was growing up. He served in many roles for the Federation, Trout Unlimited and Ozark Fly fishers. I didn't realize how lucky I was to be around all those legends when I was growing up. The memories I have of fishing and hunting with those guys are awesome. Pete
  22. I went years ago. We killed em with Chartreuse jig heads tipped with minnows. Right below the dam with ice chunks floating around. Pete
