Yes, it does Griz, thank you. We have a place in Cotter and a couple of boats. Depending on if I could get my dad or brother to attend we could have lots seats available. It sounds like fun and I like the idea of fishing with you guys who have been doing it for a while.

So how does this work? Are you supposed to stay at Riley's? Or is it more of a meeting place? Thinking about coming but was just curious what the format is. Thanks, Jacob

Fished at Cotter over the weekend and did some experimenting with what I bought at the Cotter Dock - Tri Olive and all Brown. I caught some fish on Brown but they liked Tri Olive much more it seemed. Also, on Saturday I was throwing them using 6lb line...again, I caught a few. Sunday I respooled to 4lb line and everything improved. I was really surprised at how much better it was. Casting distance, feel of the jig, etc... Sunday was my best day as I sort of honed in on the method. Lots of fun! I did better casting perpendicular to the boat vs down stream. Someone mentioned casting downstream to have less hangups. That proved to be true, just might need more time to get the feel for it. I had two 5 YO little girls fishing w me all weekend too. I would set the hook and let them reel'em in - THEY LOVED IT! The weather was perfect too!

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I will do that search you suggested, grizwilson.

I am going to put an order in on their website and it looks like they do a minimum of 4-dozen (which is fine). What color combo's and sizes would you all recommend? Looking forward to adding them to the arsenal and giving them a shot.

Hey Guys, I recently stumbled across this forum and loved the information you all have provided so I signed up. My family recently closed on a house near Cotter so I'll be hitting the river much more frequently than in years past. We usually come once, maybe twice per year before now. I would appreciate any advice for targeting the bigger fish. Over Labor Day Weekend I caught 22" and 19.5" Browns back-to-back...WHAT A RUSH! I'm still flying high. lol. The bad news is I think I've come down with a case of Trout Fever. haha Jacob
