  2. Not sure where to post so here it is: Read below – it might be a great opportunity for a Fly fisherman and their granddaughter. From: Laura H [mailto:laura@ninaday.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2018 1:59 PM To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: Followup: Commercial Opportunity for Fly Fishermen--Wyoming Tourism Hello, This is Laura from Nina Day following up about the Wyoming Tourism shoot. At this time, we are looking for support in the fishing community to help us find a truly authentic Fly Fisherman with a very specific look and feel. Our "Wild Grandpa" is charming, warm, sincere, but rugged and a true outdoorsman. Ideally has a large beard. Wisdom and character in his crows feet--you see the history of fishing in his hands. For the shoot, we will be featuring a fly fisherman alongside either his real granddaughter, or an actress to portray a granddaughter, fishing together in one of Wyoming's beautiful national parks. Our Fisherman can live anywhere in the United States--we will compensate for days shooting, travel, and accommodations. If you know someone who could be the right fit, please reply to this email with a photo, name, contact information, and location of the Fisherman you have in mind! Thank you for all of your help on this project, we truly appreciate it!

  3. Plateau Fly Shop has replaced Backcountry, they are located on S. Campbell next to Fin and Feather on the west side just north of Battlefield. (Do not remember how long ago Back Country moved from the Battlefield location) There is also a great BBQ/Smoker store in the center.... good place to stop.
  4. Today is the day, on my way to therapy then two doctor apts, stepped out of the house and one is gobbling across the field. You guys go get em they will be like the elusive white bass easy pezzy. I will shoot a jake it is a tough year.
  5. "He" Did not place them, the National Forest employees did. It is the Piney Wilderness, part of the National Forest System, he happens to own property that was homesteaded so is exempt, he can operate motorized to get to and on his property.
  6. Wilderness area no motorized on land or water except the guy who owns the 11 acres back there.
  7. Not as tough as the Billethead.
  8. Not sure where to start, hoping someone has experience with old photos. I have most of the pieces of an old poster from my Great Grandfather, J.A. Gamble of a jack (Joe) he was offering services in the early 1900s, it is in sad shape. I was wanting to reconstruct and make some copies. I have a letter from Congressman Dewy Short inquiring about such. It would make a nice set with the one from my Grandfather, Jim Wilson and his jack (Ben) Can anyone point me in a direction to get the poster roughly reconstructed? Thanks
  9. Darn DJ you are missing the April snow for opening of turkey season....

    What's Cooking?

    That hot sauce is without a doubt the best thing I have ever put on eggs..... I would go for the goat stew over the fish tacos, pickled tilapia is not my deal.
  11. No idea where you are located, many spots to put in, river, lake in between, trout, bass crappie. But lots of Good folks here to help, just by you posting on the Table Rock area, maybe suggest Rollie Blunts, or Bridge Port or Flat Creek Resort to get you started? Tight Lines

    What's Cooking?

    Well although as not as fancy as you all, here is the finished product just so you know we finished the job, all in cast iron...but we did use the fancy pot for the beans:

    What's Cooking?

    Well I am not as fancy as most of you all but the cold snap brought out some pinto beans to soak overnight, in the pot to cook all day with a country ham shank and some scraps, fry a few taters a skillet of cornbread good eatin tonight. For clarity, that is Lady Bear's fancy coated cast iron pot.
  14. Tractor with a front in loader works great, not a big deal I have done a few. I really like this stuff on my trout boat cheaper and better than gel coat run it on my tin paddlejon also:: https://airboatcoatings.com/
  15. Thanks SIO3 My sister is having a major surgery at Barnes early may, so sure I will be in the area...if I can hide from the wife......my name is Griz and I am a hoarder....
  16. As @Flysmallie says Gilbert to Maumee is a good fish/float, watch the water levels, most of the river is pretty good early in the year, in the summer the entire river is a zoo especially on the weekends.
  17. Fished upper Osage yesterday, rigging minnows in 12-23 FOW fish seemed scattered water temp 50s seen some 58 in back of a pocket. Have concealed the GPS info on pic as it might be within air gun range of a certain mechanic who frequents this site and I am kind of a dinosaur. Did encounter a school of whites and one of those mutt hybrids that Wrench refers too, Would have took pictures but it is a rather traumatic event rigging, ... have the bloody scared hands to show for it. Afterwards a friend had a limit out of one well under a slip bobber and minnow. It is getting better but this darn weather.

    That oyster shell in the lower left hand corner appears to have potential for a great turkey call.... just sayin, waste not want not?
  20. Likely Bridgeport where 76 crosses just east of Cape Fair, either side of the bridge. It is pretty crowded this time of year
  21. The Gravois pack mule is slow on steering cables though.... LOL
  22. By “slugs” do you mean sabots, conical bullets or round balls? A picture would be nice thanks
