snagged in outlet 3

Hey Guys Me and a buddy will be down to fly fish Friday and Saturday and we were wondering where to go for a good meal and beer. We won't be wearing waders but we will be coming off the stream Friday evening. Any suggestions? Maybe a good sports bar or local watering hole with good, cheap food? We used to go to the Southtown Grill but it changed hands and the quality dropped. Chime in boys! Thanks you in advance. SIO3

F2F said "I don't mind the bass or bluegills doing that" That's just a little too kinky for me . SIO3

Exactly Samkam!! I just didn't want to get too graphic. My wife and I were skinny dipping in a cove and.......... Well, you get the picture. SIO3

That has happened to my family many times while swimming there. Pulled out the goggles and watched bluegill and rockbass dart up and peck people while swimming. They mostly pecked at the colors on the swimsuites. SIO3

Check with Phil or his staff when you get there for the latest info. SIO3

Thanks Dutch! He's on Taney we want Tablerock. I have rented his Point Royale Condo earlier this year and it was great. I've also asked him this question in the past and he doesn't have anywhere to recommend. The family wants to be on the water at Trock to swim, boat and relax. I on the other hand want to trout fish. Thanks Techo. I went to his website and he's not on the water. Keep em coming guys. SIO3

Hey guys Can anyone recommend a resort on the water south of the dam? I can't sift through all the listings to find out which ones are in that area. We need a 3 bedroom cabin or condo. Big Cedar is booked but I don't know of any others in that area. We don't want to mess with the traffic on Indian Point everyday to get to the dam to trout fish. Thanks in advance! SIO3

I thouhgt it was pay per pound? Can you just CnR? Inquiring minds want to know. SIO3

Are they legal in the management section? If so I'll give em a try on my next trip. SIO3

Those are all nice!!! I knew Bman would come with both guns blazing. I think I've seen those pictures somewhere else before ?!! SIO3

I've never weighed any but I do measure them. Mid twenty inch for both browns and rainbows at Taney. A couple were fat as footballs. Some of the better fighters have been right around 20 inches. I used to bass fish Taney years ago and had some pretty good sized fish around twenty inches. I would rent a boat from the marina in old town Branson and the guy working there would look at my baitcasters and spinning rods and say "you might want to try smaller line and lures for those trout". I just laughed and said okay. My bigest Arkansas fish are a 27 inch brown and a 30 inch rainbow. I have pictures of both of those fish. I thought the 30 inch rainbow might have broken the Arkansas record but I caught it at McC's and let it go. 17 inch girth I think. SIO3

Man that looks like fun!!! Nice post you big hillbilly!! SIO#

These people are very reliable, and nice. http://www.missouritrout.com/weavers/report.html SIO3

I think everyone overloked the fine print. It says you get access to the hiking and bike trail with any stay. Now that's a deal!! SIO3

I don't think Holiday Hills gets very busy but I haven't played it years. It's real rock pile though. I used to take the kids and my dad there. Maybe somebody has some more recent info for you. SIO3

There are a wide range of courses around Branson the two mentioned above are at the top of the range. Google golf Branson and you can get all you need. Here I did it for you. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navc...;q=branson+golf SIO3

Contact your local Missouri Department of Conservation office and request pond management help. I think it's free. SIO3

Looks more like algae bloom from fertilizer run off. Just a guess. SIO3

Hey Troutringer Head down hwy 30 to Byrnes Mill, it's about twenty minutes down south. The Big River is in that area and there are several public access points you could try. The area is used heavily by fisherman and partiers alike, but the fishing can be good at times. Good luck and give us a report if you go. SIO3

Nice vids!!! Thanks. What golf course were you bass fishing at? SIO3

Thanks for the reports guys. My brother was down there last weekend and he heard they had a fish kill during the high water the week before. Anybody hear that? He said there were fish, belly up everywhere. I read Weaver's reports but nothing has ever come out about it. SIO3

I don't know about all that, but they like corn. SIO3

JJ It worked!! SIO3

I have trouble reading the small text size on the forum. I have Vista and when I click on "view", "text size" and "larger" it doesn't change the text size on the forum. Is there a way to enlarge it through the forum? THANKS! SIO3
