Hey Rick, She caught fish continually for 6 hours. She wore me out. The rainbows were all colored up too. She a caught a 19 inch rainbow that was as fat as could be. If I get time this weekend I'll resize it and post it. We had the best time. Pete

Where you been??

I caddied for my daughter at Dry Run. She turns 16 in December so it's her last chance. 6 hours this past Saturday. Then to Fred's. We had a blast.

I'm driving down Thursday night after work. Won't get there until late. Fishing Friday and Saturday but I don't have a boat. I will pay for gas. What is being cooked for the Friday night dinner? Pete

I believe you. I've never kept count and I fly-fish exclusively which I think takes a little longer to bring in and land. But I have had days when I caught them as fast as I could unhook them and get my fly back in the water. We were down at Handicap in October and 3 of us caught them continuously for 5 hours. If I didn't get bit after 3 casts I would check my fly for moss and sure enough there was some on it. I've had a ton of days like that over the years. I'm looking forward to spin fishing again. It's been years. Pete

I know, I saw it on page 5 or whatever after I posted. More trout in one day than ever. That is a tall order. One that I am looking forward to. Pete

Sorry Ham. Pete

I need to order some zigs. What colors do you guys use? I may try and come down Thursday night so I have all day Friday. Pete

I'm planning on coming down Friday to Sunday. No boat though. Hey Ham, What line do you recommend for jog fishing? Pete

Trout Park.

No truer words have been said.

Swinging a Griffiths gnat in the winter time during a midge hatch works well. Tug it under, swing and strip. Pete

Me too, hopefully this weekend. I'll try and go to Meremac if the weather cooperates. Pete

Thanks guys! I know it could be 60 by then but if it's like today I'll pass. Pete

Lotta hate there Wrench. Let it go.

You just can't help yourself can you Rick?

A little early for a doobie eh Wrench?? Pete

I have this penciled in. I'd like to go if it's okay with you guys. I probably won't make the trip if the weather doesn't get into the 40's though. Pete

Woolley buggers, eggs, San Juan's, marabou jogs. I've caught them on dries out there before when the wind was blowing. Is that you Rick!??? Pete

I've seen a bunch of pontoons on the White and Norfork the past couple years. I already have a pond prowler so I wanted some feedback. Pete

Stop it Rick!

I love McClellans and I'm still in morning over the whole deal. Welcome. Pete

This house is near me. Pete Talk about a perfect house for Halloween. The 2,400-sq.-ft. atrium ranch home house at 84 Gillette Field Close in Weldon Spring, Missouri, was built in 1988 and boasts great views of the third and fourth holes at the Whitmoor Country Club. Except it's been abandoned for two years because it's filled with spiders. How many spiders? Oh, somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,500 to 6,000 spiders. Interested in buying it? Brian and Susan Trost purchased the home in the summer of 2007 for $450,000. The spider problem started shortly afterward, with Susan noticing webs – and then the spiders themselves – every day. The Trosts called in a pest control company to deal with the spiders – since identified as brown recluses – and had the home's drywall removed so the exterminators could spray behind it. They then had another company remove insulation from the attic and put down a pesticide powder. In 2008, the Trosts filed a claim with State Farm Insurance and took the home's previous owner to court. During the trial, University of Kansas biology professor Jamel Sandidge referred to the home's spider problem as "immense," estimating the spider population to be 4,500 to 6,000, an assessment all the more worrisome because it was performed during the winter, when the spiders are least active, Sandidge said. Ongoing lawsuits against State Farm and the previous owners, the Gaults, are still pending. (Among other things, State Farm does not consider the spider infestation "physical damage.") The Trosts moved out and the home went into foreclosure: McCarthy Pest Control had tented the structure as of Oct. 10 and pumped 200 pounds of sulfuryl fluoride gas into it at 67 degrees below zero. Though the brown recluse does have a venomous bite, "A lot of the fear [of the spider] is overdone," Matt Ormsby of the Missouri Department of Conversation tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Sure, you need to respect the spider, but a brown recluse doesn't have the bite pressure to make it through our skin, and they are not aggressive. ... The best way to prevent getting bitten is to shake out your stuff [that has been stored for a long time] and just frequent cleaning of the house."

I make a mean BBQ'd salmon. BBQ sauce goes great with salmon, you should try it. Pete

Maybe that's not the good table cloth....
