snagged in outlet 3

In Brents defense. I saw several references to the 15th. Even the Weavers website had the 15th listed until I emailed them. Go to Tan Vat my friend. SIO3

I know they (McClellans) sold property up by the upper shoal but they still had the main property. I talked to them last year and they still owned it. John and Ruby said they were tired of chasing people around to get the fee. They made enough off the upper end sale to retire. SIO3

McClellans was sold!!??? When did that happen. I knew it was closed but I didn't know it was sold. SIO3

Hey Pat Did I miss your call? I checked my email too, nothing there. Nice going on the Cback. SIO3

Hey Larry Does anyone down there rent pontoons? SIO3

It can be done, but you will have to drag it some areas like the end of Long Hole, Ace in the Hole and probably up near the ramp at the dam. Depends on your drift boat too. A heavy, high sided aluminum boat will have to be dragged more than a fiberglass low rider. This info was relayed to me from someone who has floated it in a driftboat for a trip we were going to take a couple months ago. We went to Taney instead. I've walked a large portion of the Norfork and floated it in a canoe, and I believe this info is correct. I've seen a lot of guys do it in one and two man pontoons. There is only one public put in and that's at the dam. Float 4.5 miles and take it out at the confluence with the White. The ramp is to the left when you get into the White River. Snagged

Uh oh!! Folks, you better put your seats in their upright positions and buckle your belts tight. Can I put in for a trip with Trav in May on lower Taney? SIO3

I sold a couple old reels and the Ross I was using. Made up all but a few bucks of the Litespeed. Snagged

That really would have been scary Daddyo. SIO3

Nice!!! I wish I lived closer, I'd be all over that. Sio3

Thanks Larry Look at the previous post from Hotdawg. He said they came through twice that he saw. SIO3

This coonass hopes the trophy will be residing in the Big Easy this year.

Man Ducky I remember that. 3.2 beer on Sundays. We used to fish the slough on the road to the ferry at night too. I've fished that area near the old bridge. In fact one night we left my buddies car in that gravel lot right there and when we came back it had the tires flattened and the interior all cut up. We even caught eels out of that hole. Snagged

2 to 3 years ago there was massive fish kill on Dardenne near hwy K. That sewage plant dumped something in there and the fish were killed for miles downstream. They had pictures in a local paper around here and there were 1000's of dead fish piled up. Don't know if it's recovered, but I've often thought of fishing it, except it has high, steep, muddy banks. Judging by the dead fish photos it was loaded with fish. I just don't know where to fish it. Where did you fish Dardenne Ducky? I've caught carp at Creve Couer but no luck with bass. SIO3

Man that's a nice one Pat!! Sherwood's got it made. Snagged Coming to a subdivision near you soon.

Pat I'll leave south county to you and Sherwood. How about Creve Coeur Lake? I've taken my pond prowler out there twice and didn't catch squat. I've lived near it all my life and heard "stories", but that's it, "stories" BTW I was bass fishing. SIO3, coming to a subdivision pond near you and there are no fish at Busch.

I think it closes Monday Feb 8th. Spinning equipment is fine. SIO3

I've been kicked out of most ponds in the St.Charles county area. Sometimes nobody says a word and you can fish for a while. Maybe a couple days. Other times they are on you right away. I've never been threatened with calling the law, most people just want you out. I had a sweet little spot that was giving up nice fish until one day I pull in and there is a new "residents only" sign. I gave it whirl anyway figuring that if I looked like I belonged there, nobody would call me out. Wrong!!!! 2 casts and this old guy comes running. I even tried lying. I said I lived up in the other cul de sac and he said, oh yeah which house? I laughed it off and left. He yelled at me to never come back. I figure he had been watching me and was just waiting for the new sign to get put up. SIO3

Litespeed here. Lightweight and smooth. I've never had any trouble. Besides that it looks cool. Isn't Paola Cat selling one on the Buy/sell forum? SIO3

Yes we can expect it, but whether it happens is another story. We are very close to normal pool on all the lakes. Oh I remember the drought years when you could go fishing any time you wanted and there was very little generation. Kind of makes me want to cry. SIO3

Hey Phil Were there other boats up at BS Dam with you? SIO3

Thanks for the report. Sounds like a great time. If the big ones don't want to play, there is nothing better than a good dry fly bite. Snagged

I forgot to add that toothpicks really helped. If you like menthol cigs buy peppermint picks, otherwise just get regular picks. They say a big part of the habit is what to do with your hands and mouth when you quit. Picks helped alot. SIO3

Good report Phil. That was a tough morning with the trailer. I'm always worried when we pull something all the way from St. Louis. Any other boats up there with you at BS? Snagged

I don't know about the E-cigs but I know what worked for me. I got divorced. After the judge screwed me, my lawyer took me to the bar. We sat and got drunk till closing. At the end of the night I lit my last cig and told the boys I quit. They laughed but I never smoked again. My ex got divorced 4 more times so maybe those boys quit to. I can get her number if anyone needs it. SIO3
