Yup that's them. Of course a lot in the group are really good fishermen and great guys. Quite a few OAF members in it. But the "core" of the group is about the phoniest, most pretentious a-holes I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. They use pellet flies when they feed at the hatchery and call it dry fly fishing..

Yea Michael Marriott. Charged in Chilicothe a while back. Moved down here and thinks he's the King of Taneycomo. He was recently completely wiped on Facebook so I assume he was doing some more pedo things on there.

@laker67 that Facebook group is full of some of the phoniest, scummiest, know-it-alls I have ever seen in the outdoors. I have seen those guys, on many occasions, do what they were criticizing this angler for doing/not doing. I'm not listening to anybody who associates with a pedophile or sits right at the outlets while others stand at the waterfalls and chuck fish food in the water. They can kick rocks.

There's some teal already in KC. Saw 50 or so the other day on the local creek. A few near Clinton on the rivers. They'll be there soon.

They really are pretty snakes. And not nearly as aggressive, overall, as everyone thinks. That being said, I hate early teal season because of them hah.

Because of this the woods around the outlets and trails below TRD have been blessed by yours truly multiple times this summer. The port-o-potty is open finally down by the ramp at least.

Sorry I didn't get to meet up. Didn't even turn on my computer this week. Looks like it was good though! Hope your wife is doing better.

Monkeys?? Is there a reason for this? 😄

Yep we gassed em, but it was a fine line between enough and not enough haha! When they started twitching, we hastened up quickly.

Found a couple of old pics of surgery haha. Kitchen table of one of my professors in Lawrence.

I love TRs. I used to track them and do surgery on them in college for an independent study. They are mostly calm as hell, unlike their cousins. A few times we were standing right over them and they just sat there trying to use their camo. Only time one ever rattled at us was when we had to capture it from under a porch..that was less than ideal. Pretty snakes with good demeanor!

That's normal power pool for the designated time frame indicated.

Travis hit the nail on the head. Jig will get you the most bites and fish. Stop into Lilley's Landing and pick up some jigs from 1/8-ounce to 1/32-ounce.

I love it. Makes me ready for doves, teal, deer and cool mornings fishing. Only a month or so..

I love Nola. But man does it stink!

I used to hunt by it a lot when drawn for Busch. Directly NE of the Lake 33 dam there are some deep pools. Never fished it but may be worth exploring. It'd be a walk I think. Last time I was there the road to go park by the marsh ponds was gated off because of "nefarious activity."

Crappie is pretty good right now. Fourth of July weekend we trolled main lake points in the 20-25 ft range and were getting two-man limits in about an hour. 11-13-inch fish, too. Normally they get in the deep timber and can be caught on jigs but from what I've been told they just aren't there yet. At least not in droves like normal. When you troll, too, you catch a variety. Walleye, crappie, whites, hybrids, and the elusive drum ha. Stop in the Bucksaw marina and they'll point you in the right direction. I'd go to Pretty Bob or Otter creeks.

I've recently really began to appreciate the sunfishes in Missouri. I love microfishing for bluegill, redear, longear and pumpkinseed. Almost like I needed another thing to spend money and time on. What a cool fish!

the clock hands and 1224 from 1234 is tricky..-------

If you can't get your hands on the Ozark Trout Runners SS jerkbaits, McSticks, Megabass, and Provokes work well. Not much success on Cutters or RC STKs but I'm sure they'd work.

Do as you say! It was a gar! lol. Man that sucks...

Unfortunately have a client Go LIve this week so I am married to the computer. Good luck fellas!

Lol I don't think it was, but who knows! I will tell myself that to make it better

Went down to Taney last Friday to do an afternoon of fishing and it was the first tip I've had in a while that was lights out. I think a fairly consistent generation pattern has a ton to do with it. Went with my friend Lauren Plunkett, who had never fished Taney before, and she landed a couple of 18 and 19-inch rainbows--her biggest trout ever. That was pretty neat! Went out of Lilley's around 2pm and fished until 6pm or so, with an hour delay due to a thunderstorm. Fishing was great before and after. We solely fished the Signature Series jerkbaits from the cable through the Narrows. Casting the 110+1 in french pearl and dragging the 606 in ghost shad was the ticket. Our best spot was Lookout to the top of the Narrows. I landed a 19-inch football brown by the tennis courts, and most of our fish came in that area. The Narrows was a bit slow, surprisingly. On our last drift we went clear down to River Point. Right in front of the dock in the middle of the lake near the seam I had a big fish hit. I felt two head shakes and said "oh, man!" I had caught three rocks (yes, three) prior and thought they were big fish. Don't knock it..they feel like giants! Lauren said "another rock?" Right then my drag SCREAMED. That fish took off and straight up ripped 100 feet of line from my reel. She yelled "oh s*^! not a rock!" and grabbed the net. Before I could switch to start back reeling the fish the line broke. I've caught a couple 10-pound trout before, and this felt way bigger than any of those. It was a sour way to end the day. I wish I would have at least seen the thing. But still a great day on Taney. We caught one fish under 17-inches in four hours.
