Awesome. What were they hitting in the murky water? I'm thinking of taking my fiance over there in the morning for her first trout action on a flyrod. Dan-o -
Wow.

Old Town Tripper-- I'm on my second one (took me 20 years to finally wear out the first one). They handle better than many smaller designs and they'll carry 1100 pounds. Great for float-camping. Dan-o

A buddy of mine went down there several years ago and caught a 7 pounder casting out from the bank while the boat was being backed down the ramp. Dan-o

Nope.

Getting warm there RiverRunner. But that's as far as I'm going on this one. I'll give the ringworm a try when we float the Kings weekend after next. Dan-o

The fish measured about 19 inches. Bobbi is a petite lady (about5'-1"). She caught it on a Zoom Finesse Tube in pumkin pepper/green rigged on an 1/8 ounce leadhead. The fish was photographed and released. Thanks for the kudos. I'm very proud of my little lady. Dan-o

It's an Arkie fish. Dan-o

All I can say is she should feel blessed to have such a great guide. Dan-o

J. Herring is unbelievable--I listened to their simulcast from the Chicago Theatre this past saturday night and the songs from the new album (a few of which are more or less his) sounded great. You were right about Dave's On Dickson in Fayetteville.Too bad the place shut down. I saw lots of great shows there, but George's is a great venue also. Dan-o

I've seen Derek Trucks join Widespread Panic onstage several times--simply amazing. Dan-o

I use a 6wt Launch for most of my smallie fishing. Works great with weighted patterns and sink tip lines. Fairly cheap too in case you break it while hauling in your canoe. Dan-o

Sear them in butter in a frying pan. Remove trout from pan. In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, juice from 1 lemon, 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon water. Pour mixture in pan and reduce it on high heat stirring constantly until it starts to thicken. Spoon mixture over trout. Serve with wild rice and veggies of choice. Dan-o

Thanks for the info. Can you suggest some flies to try under such conditions? Any help would be mucho appreciated. Dan-o

What shape will the river be in Easter Sunday? Dan-o

Anyone Fished The Lower Illinois Lately?
Danimal replied to The Caddis's topic in Upper and Lower Illinois River (OK)
Better check the guage before you go. They've been blowin' about 6,000 cfs out of the lake (flood discharge) nonstop since last week. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll cut it back by the weekend. Dan-o -
I went up yesterday also. Caught about a dozen on zebra's (16) and poison tung (18). They were my first fish caught on self tied patterns (woohoo!). Nice day. Dan-o

Kentucky Spotted Bass.

I love fishin the Elk w/both fly and spinning gear. I'd really like to give Indian Creek a try. Maybe we could meet up when it warms up a little. Keep me posted. Dan-o

As much pressure as the river gets, I'd personally like to see that rule implemented on every other section from Ponca all the way to the White. Dan-o
