  1. required for a Missouri resident who is licensed to sport fish in Missouri, or who is legally exempted from the sport fishing license requirements of Missouri, to pursue, take, possess (with the exception of trout) and transport fish, frogs, mussels, clams, turtles, crayfish and live bait from the Arkansas portion of the impounded waters of Bull Shoals, Norfork and Table Rock lakes without an Arkansas Nonresident Fishing License. Says you can transport. I'd still clarify that with AGFC, because once you are out of the lake you have no proof of where the fish came from.
  2. Well, tell her how it comes with a lifetime guarantee. (get the Jack Russell, she'll love him after a day or two)
  3. I used to use a lot of Mucilin. Then I switched to Albolene, a single jar is a life supply.
  4. What's wrong with gimmicks?? Seriously I never heard of such stuff, so, ...

    Crappie Reports?

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/GrandFishingReport/about/ Reports @ 20-30' I think.
  6. Sing a song of sixpence...
  7. saw it attributed to a Kent Campbell It's simple enough to have been "invented" by a dozen different tyers. I know I tied a Griffith’s Gnat for ten or twelve years before I ever saw one in a store, simple tie using two of my favorite materials and it happened to work. In my mind it is still a peacock/grizzly.
  8. It don't matter what the name over the door says it's all one company, at least until BassPro is done ripping out the parts they want. It surprises me that the Sherman Act doesn't apply. Maybe keeping the Cabella's name is the means of avoiding antitrust suits. I would think that once BP has carved out the pieces they want and the select locations the Cabela's name will be up for sale?
  9. Fun was had by all.
  10. Get the Jack Russell, life's too short to go without a dog and the dog can keep you company on the boat. Maybe you can get a neighbor to do the hookups or just leave the trailer on all the time. Heck, after thirty five years it's time to trade up anyway. Get two Jack Russells they can keep you warm at night and eat the left overs you cook.
  11. You are going to need Herself to do the trailer hookup and unhook then and maybe the launch/load then? Not my business, but it is possible Her opinion should be counted twice. Or buy the boat in Her name.

    What's Cooking?

    found on the net, haven't tried them yet Broiled starlings on toast Cut the breasts in half. Lay inner side down on butter-greased broiler. Tie strip of bacon about each breast with a thread. Broil to a golden brown. Rub with oil or butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a bit of parsley. Serve on buttered toast. Roast starling Dress starlings same as you would quail. Cover with bacon strips. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a slice of onion. Place in roasting pan. Roast to a light brown. Baste with drippings to which a touch of vegetable oil has been added. Green parsley and water cress make a suitable garnish. Serve with mushroom soup. A dash of red wine won’t hurt. Serve two starlings to a person. they go good with beer. Starling stew Sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry in butter lightly. Dust with flour and add three slices of onion, 1 bay leaf, add a half glass of wine and water to cover. Stew slowly. When tender, set aside in a warm dish and let the stew-broth simmer to thicken. Then strain and serve.

  14. For me it would be 8'-8.5' in 7wt. for all around anywhere. Using lots of heavy stuff (jigs) might make me lean towards 8-9wt. After 45 years of messing with fly gear only, I'm still not good enough to feel comfortable casting 5wt or below in wind/rain or with large/heavy flies. I'd also want the rod to be fiber glass. Carbon rods seem to break in two (or three) just when I am starting to like one. Knowing that 5wt is the popular (often only choice) size now and in keeping with my tendency to economy, at C's I would be grabbing the CGR 7'6" 5/6wt with 5wt line. Although the TFO Lefty Kreh (8.5'/5wt) is, imo, a very good buy for the $ and I would like to try a Fenwick Aetos (9'/5wt). It almost goes without saying that what ever you buy to begin with you will have to own at least a dozen fly rods before you can begin to know what you are looking for in one. Line type and quality is to me as important as the rod and more important than the reel.
  15. Opening day anywhere is for the one timers that get tickets just because it is "opening day" and must have some special majik about it. More serious fishers will arrive on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Probably been 30 years since i was at BSSP to fish. Depending on weather and wife's plans, we might hit RRSP that week. But really they stock those places all winter for the C&R and daily for the carry out so any day of the year will have plenty of fish to target. And the pretty colors are past prime now. Big long fly rod and large jigs will get folks off your elbows, try looking reckless and awkward when you sling it around.
  16. I don't gota clue how that works, can't you just post driving directions? thanks
  17. Are used boat trailers also is designed to be in the water, lights, hubs etc, somewhat water proofed? I have cut up a number of them for scrap, a few years ago it seemed every farm had two or three old glass boats rotting down on the trailers. Not worth much as scrap, but, a set of tires and a lube job would have put them like new.
  18. No one answered how these guys protect the odd kayaker on the lake? I have seen that 90* maneuver when they almost ran me over as I was wading, the huge wave from that skidding turn knocked me off my feet. (and they didn't look back to see if I got up) I always remember how crossing the oceans of the world of Government business we usually traveled at 12-18 knots. Seems outrageously silly to think it necessary to travel even 30mph on a dinky lake.
  19. Those are Caps not Hats. Flat beaks not brims, brim goes all the way around. A fedora is a hat. Is ego another word for compensation? sounds a lot like
  20. So do the pro bass guys take over the entire lakes on tourney days and a Patrol gets real people of the lake and keeps them off or is this like Nascar holding a race through St Louis to Joplin on a weekday? I don't much care if they kill themselves off and only endanger like minded people, there is a kind of Darwinism at work, but it appears to me that almost any one could wander out on the water and get run down by these characters. Just how far does it take to stop a boat traveling 70mph? I know on a Navy ship at 30 or so we'd travel mile or three before a full stop. If all other users are removed from the lake how is that accomplished? What I wonder is how are there not many more accidents than I have heard off?
  21. if b equals all miles and c equals total miles then c=(a)(b) is false and c=b (c)(a)/a=(a)(b)/a because all equals total

    Any of the wide ridge tops from Siloam to Hiwassee to Avoca/ Pearidge have red dirt that will make ponds, around Centerton and Bentonville the areas used to hold water naturally and have crawdads miles from real water. I'd stay away from streams because of the public they attract.
  23. It is not that they don't want the captive cervids to become infected, the infection started with captive cervids after all, it is that they don't want to admit that the disease exists or that if it does exist that it can harm humans. When I saw a herd of goats get scrapie, that guy and the one next to him shipped all their goats the same week, with no notification to any authorities. If a deer guy gets a dead animal and buries or cremates it before testing there is no way to prove the animal died, is there? Pretty much accepted by some that study it that CWD jumped from sheep to deer in Colorado State University study pens. Captive deer penned with sheep and later some of them released back to the wilds. Late 1950-60s was also the first time scrapie was reported in North American sheep, coincidentally in NE Co.
  24. I wish it was more accessible. I'm not into hiking so much any more. But you are right when you say it all changed considerable.
  25. Pretty sure that I was told they stocked browns there in Dec., my memory isn't always precise but I talked to a MDC guy about the first of the year and best I recall he said both browns and rainbows there in Dec. and just bows in Hickory.
