what do you do for a living if you dont mind me askin.. im just so jealous you get to spend so much time fishing.. LA

where do you park?? we went down one time durin the day just to check it out and parked by what i think is outlet 1 and 2 but looked like it had gates at the entrance and would hate to get locked in lol LA

cool thanks all Jerod - i will most likely have to take you up on that offer.. i love any fishing and i started out on bluegill and perch when i was really young so would be fun.. they are fun if they are big enough and would be good practice for the flyin LA

thank you all for more info.. i think im gonna wait right now due to buyin this house but might pick that kit up this summer and get used to it and then upgrade.. thanks all.. now i just gotta figure out how to due the whole fly on a spinning combo lol and thanks for the offer of free flies.. so far they would most likely but used for Taneycomo and maybe a coule small lakes around KC.. all for trout.. until i get better at it lol LA

where can you get these PMS's i keep hearing about?? thanks LA

Bass pro has a beginers kit that is rod and reel and line and a couple flies for $50 i know its not the best and wont last for a super long time but is it worth it since im just wanting to start gettin into it... we spend most of our time drift fishin but have wanted to start fly fishing.. i learned how a long time ago but have never really gone and done much of it since i learned.. is this a decent kit to start??? and can you fly from shore up by the darn?? or do you have to have waders?? thanks heres a link to the kit http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...5001000_175-1-3

thanks lol and trav lol yeah i know.. i had to shes a keeper and didnt want her to slip off the hook lol.. shes my redneck queen lol LA

yeah really sad to hear this.. almost surprised there isnt more accidents due to the severe cold water.. we had a guy fall out of a boat right next to the dock cause his dad hit the dock during heavy flow.. but he was barely under water and somehow sprung right back up and out and ran up to his cabin and got warmed back up and still came back out on the boat later LA

man i cant wait for Feb 15th to hurry up and come..already got vactation from work through the 19th.. its needs to hurry up and come.. went and got married last night and get my new house next friday and have to get fully moved in before the trip lol LA

lol will do man.. wish i had a laptop i would post updates each night but oh well lol.. gonna keep a basic journal and will update thanks for all the help LA

thats good to know Trav.. as much as i like using rooster tails it sounds good to me lol and the beer and pizza part dont hurt lol LA

wow that stamp of "dumba##" hurts when it hits you on the forehead lol ok im gonna back away slowly with what dignity i have left lol LA can you tell i want it to be Feb so my trip will get here sooner lol LA

i joined a year ago today and i just noticed it lol its been a great year and hopefully i can more active on here even after my trip and maybe just put in some info and help.. thanks everyone for all the tips and converstaion.. i appreciate it VERY much LA

you have been very helpful and i appreciate it VERY MUCH.. hopefully someday i can help you somehow lol not sure how but i would in a heart beat.. we are gonna try marabous and roadrunners and of course my rooster tails.. and if all else fails fall back on baits.. but im always the one doin something different from everyone else in the boat unless they prove whats working and i get bored lol.. i got 3 days of fishing to give it all a whirl.. now i have one more ? lol im being greedy i know.. but.. where would people recommend to drive to on friday afternoon when we dont have a boat??? if they arent runnin water i was thinking of at least checkin out the trophy area but where is a good place to just shore fish... around scottys??? i always see people there.. thanks again LA

man i cant wait lol i know from past winters on power bait that white, yellow, and char are generally good bets for the month of feb.. LA

yeah trav trust me in the last 10+ years of fishin taney with a basic weight 18 inchs from the power bait i have tied enough line to be a master of tyin no catchin lol hence why i keep botherin the likes of you and Phil and others on here to find out how to catch more and spend more time "fishing" not tying lol im looking for the best fishing non trophy area so where ever.. we stay at trout hollow and usually float to about downtown but like i said all my group uses corn or power bait and SMALL hooks.. i want bigger fish and am willin to not catch "as many".. i wanna win the tourney but more about good fishing.. im in it for the sport and the spoils are bonus lol thanks all LA
