    Finally got a chance to wade fish. We caught 13 &14 each with all of the fish 14 to 17 inches. They were in good health and fought very well. Most were caught on a red zebra midge. I am wondering about what the flood and high water has done to the food supply. The tail water was 701 to 701.7 and I turned over about 40 rocks to see what bugs were available to my supprise not one rock had any bugs or scuds on them. In past years there was numerous bugs under the rocks. I did this at the bend after the boat ramp and before the old KOA camp.

    I believe Stan Parker with River Run was fishing off the east end of the island Sat. I believe they were using crackle backs and primrose and pearl midges.

    We fished this past weekend at Point Royal. They were running 2 to 3 units . We found a place to wade and fish just down from lookout island on the north side. The water is on an inside curve and rotated counter clockwise so that the water was flowing toward the dam and was slow. Anyone know what is the best way to fish this kind of current and what flys. We could see several fish but the bite was slow. Caught some on samon eggs with a zebra midge trailer and some with a feather streamer.

    Playcraft River Skiff It looks just like a supreme. Made in Missouri around Lake of the Ozarks.

    Since I asked for a report yesterday and was going today I thought I should make a report. We started wading at the steps east of the boat ramp and fished in front of them and down the lake. We caught fish all day long today on a gray zebra midge and Dan's Turkey tail emerger as a dropper. About equal morning and afternoon. Six larger trout with one very good.

    Does anyone have a fishing report for today Feb 23rd. We're planning on coming down tomorrow.

    Thanks for the information. We've put the trip off for a day to see how much rain we get. It does't look like we'll have to worry about low water, just high water.

    I have never floated the Buffalo before. Which kayak would be better on this river. A hobie outback ( lighter, smaller, more maneuverable) or a hobie pro angler (heaver,larger, more comfortable, less maneuverable). Also at what water levels for each. Thanks;

    Would the same approach apply to a trailer that has sides that stick up out of the water. Would you place the side of the boat against the side board and then turn in to the trailer.

    Daily fishing permit $7.00 a day plus a trout permit $7.00 is required. There is no place to get permits at the park. Sportsmans Corner at the intersection of 112-76-86 sells them its just outside of Cassville toward the park about 4 miles north of the park.

    Wade fished below lookout Dec 30 and 31. It was nice to be able to wade after all the high water this year. Caught lots of nice fish on eggs and zebra midges. The fish were in good shape and were nice size fish. I hope this is an indication of how 2010 is going to fish. Hope everyone has a happy new year.

    It was good meeting all of the OAF members at the biscuts and gravy feed. Thanks Steve and Bob for providing the breakfast. Had a good day fishing most of fish I caught was on a orange and partridge soft hackle. There was only 3 of us at the bottom end this morning but by 10:00 there was several more.

    zhoyt The Tightlines website is no longer available at least the one from Southern Council FFF. Where and what time do they meet. Thanks; Fishing Milwright

    Is this the tightlines Club from Rogers. Will anyone be using a kayak and are they meeting at the dam.

    Phil Explain how you fish the running line - perfect presentation and the set up from a boat. John Wilson's nymphing class at the conclave used the running line for the checz fishing method. I was wondering if its similar. thanks

    Zip ties break before the boat gos under. I've had them break a couple of times at Bull Shoals.

    There is a safe way to use a drag chain. Attach a plastic one gallon jug to the end of the rope of the drag chain. Use plastic ties to attach the rope of the chain to the boat. If the chain catches it will break the plastic ties and the jug will keep the rope afloat and you can go back and pick up the chain and rope.

    Question on Oar Mounts for CMO The specifications for the oar mounts says that its for a 1 5/8 pipe mount. The rails on the river boats are smaller than 1 5/8 so what did you do to make them fit.

    Is the boat ramp at Bush better for launching a boat better than the ramps by the dam. I have put in a pontoon fly fishing boat at the second ramp from the dam. It is very steep and lots of rocks with no place to beach the boat to drive the truck and trailer to the parking lot.

    I fished the white below the Dam Tuesday through Sat. My Playcraft River Skiff performed flawlessly. I am very happy with it. It handles very good in the water. I can not tell any difference between it and the Supreme boats. I have a rod tray and two dry boxes on the sides and lockable front and rear boxes. There was plenty of room for three fishermen. The rails do not get in the way while fishing. The price is simular to the Supreme. The trailer is better than the Supremes trailers that I looked at.

    I'am in favor of 24". I believe Arkansas is going to one Brown over 24"
  23. Fishing Milwright
    I'am looking at a Supreme or Playcraft River Skiff. Does any body have a playcraft and if so how does it compare with the supreme. It looks like it is the same as the 207 as it has a flat bottom. The l42 and l48 have an indention in the hull I think is for turning. Does this make much difference.

    Your fly looks very nice. I was wondering if you wrapped the turkey feather for the end of the fly or used peacock herl and then bring the lacqured turkey feather over the top.

    Planning on going over to Capps Creek Friday since Beaver and Taney are not wadeable. I was wondering how the fishing is and how high is the water on Capps Creek and any recommended flys. Thanks fishingmilwright
