  1. That is why they call it "practicing" medicine. You have to be pro active to get the care you need at many places, I sure miss my GP (who I fished with) if he did not know the answer he would figure it out or send you to someone who could. He died diving in Mexico.
  2. post over in the jigfest lodging thread, Quillback will get you included in the lodging. I am guessing he will be making the reservation Monday 10/21 We stay at Riley's Station in Buffalo City, with locals staying at home but hanging out at the lodge. I use a light action spinning rod, (Crappie rod) with 4 or 6 lb line (actually I use 8 lb nano with a 4 or 6 lb leader depending on what I can get away with) For jigs, I use mostly 1/16, some 1/32 and 1/8, olive, olive ginger, brown orange, white, black and ?????. www.zigjig.com or if you are down at TR before then, run by Lilly's Landing, (Below the dam off Fall Creek road) They sell a nice rod for the money, have a great selection of jigs. Phil or Duane can lead you in the right direction. Some others can chime in.
  3. If you see a bunch of guys in them spandex suits with helmets , kayaks and rescue ropes it is a good day to fish different creek. It can be a bit sporty..... probably too fast to fish.
  4. Sims Marine 573-569-5406 near Gravios Mills is Wrench's number.
  5. I am sure Wrench will jump in as he is the Man. My guess is the water pump impeller has gotten brittle and you are having "ears" coming off. But I am calling them ears, so wait for Wrench, but I would change the impeller. If you have a fitch still running you got a good one..... I won two tournaments with mine fishing near the take off with TM.
  6. Just call in tell your boss that you cannot come in, your arm is in a cast......as a fly fisherman there will be many.
  7. Sounds like enabling behavior. The first step in any treatment is admitting you have a problem.....just admit it, your too busy.
  8. As I note you show from Bull Shoals you likely will not need lodging...but it is a ways to Buffalo City so that is up to you, we divide the cost of the lodging so it is very affordable. Jigfest is a get together, we all bring food/supplies share breakfast/supper, usually one night a fish fry, one night smoker, one night chili or??? We share information/ideas and fish together, usually rotating who we fish with daily or more. Usually going everywhere between Reds Landing and the Dam or on North Fork. It is a good opportunity to meet fellow OAF members many are very skilled fishermen, some are just nimrods like myself. I know that I learn a lot every year. Hope this helps. g
  9. As the legend Bill Ring used to say "if your too busy to go fishing,.....your too busy"
  10. best I count 14 staying plus the locals and campers: Quillback, WoundedOne, Phil and Duane, Grizwilson, Got Muddy +1, Terrierman +3, Johnsfolly, Stinger160 and LittleRedFisherman With Ham, Stein, BFTMASTER +3, N9Bow staying local ..... rough guess 21 total folks plus Miles and his guitar?
  11. I know you have been unable to come the last two years that we have stayed in the Cedar Gables it sleeps 10 in separate beds. You will need to wax your legs if we are doubling up..... LOL. I was unaware of camping there...a goat might eat your tent? But camping is available just a 100yds or so away at White Buffalo.
  12. I text him, he said he would be there..... Think now that he retired he does not have time to mess with posting on line....LOL
  13. Quillback, we had plenty of room last year. IF i remember correctly there were 6 beds upstairs, 3 down. I plan to stay Thursday night until Sunday morning.
  14. AGFC Trout / Stream folks will be presenting their Trout Management Plan update for approval to commissioners next week. The approval process includes all info retrieved from the recent public workshops and feedback. You might like to take a moment and send AGFC a clear point of view on key issues that are important to the fisheries as seen by Trout Unlimited: extending catch & release area below Rim Shoals maintain Brown trout length limit 24" expanding protection on Cutthroat trout support of overall trout diversity in the White & North Fork support of all regulations regarding habitat/water quality support programs that monitor dissolved oxygen and threaten our trout population PLEASE SEND YOUR FEEDBACK to AGFC at email below: Christy.Graham@agfc.ar.gov Be an advocate for regulations that are supportive to a healthy river system. Let AGFC know you what is important to you.
  15. Cody is a ole hand at the salt, when I would catch a fish I just asked him What's this? I do not know a sheep head from a red fish, flounder from a halibut.....

  18. Let's see, Wrench has in excess of 10,000 post on this forum, SolnBassman 58...... I bet Wrench survives. Sorry I have checked my sources no luck in finding a duplicator. Best of luck. Hope i did not offend you, if so, Sorry.
