I could bring my AR for that too

Keep in mind this was October when the spawn was on and the parking lot at Cow was jammed with people. Bring a lawn chair. And a pistola.

I think Mountain Home still requires the "club" pass to drink. At least it did a few years ago. I haven't been out to eat there in a few years. That shoal was loaded with huge fish.

Wow! What a beauty. The fish, not Steve.

Nope,par boiled. We almost got in a fight at Cow Shoals too. Some guys had lawn chairs in the water and when they wanted a break from fishing they used their chairs to "hold" their spot. My buddy John walked in to fish when a guy left and his buddy says the chair holds his spot. John threw the chair up on the gravel and started fishing. The dude comes back from taking a leak and says 'Hey what's up?". John told him to F off. He went and got a few friends and we were all yelling and cussing at each other. My dad was friends with John Gully for years and I knew him pretty well too. John came over and broke it up before it got real. I told my buddy John lets hit the road to the White, this just isn't worth it. Got a cold beer in Mountain Home and had a good trip. Never been back.

It's been years but the last time I went to Greers Ferry the county was dry. I order ribs and beer at the café. The lady says is near beer okay? I said yeah, I thought it was some local brew. Nope, white can of non alcoholic beer. I asked where to get real beer and she the next county. And she said if we were going to get some would we get some for her too. Never been back.

Vernon's got cabin fever and he takes it out on everone

Boat mechanics too sometimes

I hope they save you a few.

I had the Johnsonville 4 cheese Italian last night. They were great. Grilled em up slowly.

Love the picture!

I'll stay sober

I really miss the "old" Bennett Springs.

That's the last thing they need down there. I can bring my AR to help.

Everybody knows that the Ned doesn't catch fish.

Ruined another monitor spitting my coffee out laughing. Thanks Joe.

For some reason I thought it was a study from a Ohio but I tried several times and never found it again.

I wish I would have saved it and I've tried to find it again but can't. It was a study of rainbow trout. They stocked a pond with trout and fished for them. The one's they caught were put in a nearby pond leaving the one's they couldn't catch in the first. No matter how you tried catch the remaining fish in the first pond, including live bait, they simply wouldn't bite. They repeated the stocking several times with the same results. But you could fish the second pond with fish that already been caught and catch them again and again. Also, there is a book by Leonard Wright called Fly Fishing Heresies where he states that as a kid an old guy would give him flies to use. But he wanted them back if they caught fish, no matter how tore up they got. He would use those tore up flies to modify his "perfect" patterns to imitate the tore up ones. I've been keeping old flies for years, especially dry flies. You ever notice how the bite would shut off when you lost the fly they were biting on even though you put on a new one?

I bet that would have been hilarious to see!

Looks like Gavin is prepping for the annual winter trip?!

Thursday I had a 4-5 foot tarpon take a wallop at my surface fly 40' from me. Scared the crap out of me. Then it bolted right at me while I'm waste deep in water. It didn't last long but it was memorable.

I'd love to see that

I like it too. Sorry about the previous post. I was looking at it on my phone and got cornfused.

Just record it

Thanks, John.
