This rain should make things mighty fun here soon. I will be down off and on this week and over the weekend. It's been three years since we've had good water in the Little Sac. I'm excited (which means we'll get 1" of rain). Got checked my the agent Friday and he was cool.

@dpitt maybe we can take a look if Phil allows it? Seems like a backend issue to me.

Trout Fishing Lake Taneycomo has over 11,000 members. I know you post fishing reports on there from time to time. Could be correlated to it. The server time and refresh could be off, too, garnering incorrect numbers. Does it run on a nightly cycle?

Great time as always. I laugh so much my sides hurt. Fishing was fantastic and the food even better. Kevin, Seth and I went out Friday afternoon and I caught them good on jerkbaits and they did well on jigs. 17-inch brown was the biggest, and I could hardly hold it. Seth and I fished Saturday morning when it was 9 degrees. With the sun and the biting fish, we didn't even notice the cold. We whacked them on jerkbaits and jigs. Fish were puking up shad, scales, and shad paste as Marty called it. I don't know how they were still hungry, but it sure was fun! Pulling the boats out Sunday, Cody mentioned his gas tank was low. Seth said "oh I have a 5-gal tank up at the cabin." "Nah, I'll be ok." I was taking Seth's boat down to the ramp and thought to myself "I will stay behind Cody in case he runs out." Well, he didn't make it past Cooper Creek and I saw him start to slow. Milo to the rescue! Some food pics. Everything was fantastic, per usual.

It's a long weekend, Marty. We will likely starve...

Spent the afternoon cooking in the negative temps. Put some duck legs in the crockpot with some stock, rosemary, and Slap Ya Mama and let them go for a few hours until they were fall apart. Kept the skin on so the fat rendered out. Made homemade ramen with the meat. Phenomenal. While I was waiting for the duck legs to be done, I made a big pot of deer chili.

Looking to get a final head count so we can plan the most important part, meals, accordingly. Me, Big Hands Rob, DJ (Saturday), Kev, Dustin, Seth, Cody, Ray, Marty, Pat, Phil, my buddy Cheyne and his wife (Friday), Jeff (?), Les (?), and Bill and Becky. Anybody else confirmed coming?

Heck yea, Les! Glad you got out and had an enjoyable day.

John’s wife is making her famous baked beans for us. Probably the best beans you’ll ever have. Not sure the effects will be good in tight quarters, but..

I will be bringing deer bologna (more like summer sausage), crackers and cheese as well for snackable items.

It's not really a difference of opinion at all. It's a fact cheaper lines don't fish well and don't last. Better made lines do. If, like Wrench said, you are actually fly fishing and not outlet dunking. You can use a cane pole with nylon for that. @Flysmallie do yourself a favor and stick with the Rio Gold! It'll last years and you'll be happy with it.

Fact! I always tell people you can have a cheap combo and if you put good line on it you'll be just fine. SA Amplitude and Sonar for me.

Do we have any workshops Cody can fall asleep at this year? @grizwilson can snipe a pic again! But really, any ideas? I was thinking of a fly tying instruction for the hopper I have great success with on Taney.

Don't forget the garlic!

As a fat guy, I'd have to say the great food is a little more than 10%. Plus, Jeff, you saw what happens when it's nasty out..big browns are caught!
