I can only dream

Wonderful!

WOW!...I want one

Rich, How's the new 4 wt working out?

I have been wondering about that place. I have wanted to try it. Can you pay a catch and release fee?

Gotcha!

Heh, I'm the one that's suppose to have the senior moments and forget stuff.

You a fish catchin' dude!!!! And the secret midge color was??????

Have a good time! I was just looking at the calendar and I hope to get down in Oct sometime. If you all post when you're going we'll see if we can get together. I might try for a 1 day friday trip mid october. You're not done buying!...he who dies with the most rods wins!!!!!

Wow , I hadn't noticed the stream rise. Should be fishable.

Good job!

For some reason I only took some pics of the stream.

Overall numbers we down a little I would say but so were the fisherman. Put in 1800 Sunday, 700 Monday and 600 tues I believe...not exact figures. Getting them to bite is another matter.

Got home about 4:30 yesterday. Had a great time! Thanks to all who came down. We'll do it again!!! It is always nice to fish with friends and meet new ones. Fishing was slow at times for me but I had several great hours. Monday evening I caught a lot on a 12 G Gnat just above the Dam. hits every cast for an hour. Doesn't get any better than that! Tueday by the island was a slow start. Caught a couple on the John Deere and a couple on SZ18 olive midge. Moved up to Holland Dam in the faster, shallow water and did real well on the olive midge. JDC sure put it on them on Sunday in the fast water in zone 2!!! ( I think I could smell garlic cheese) Good job, Jason. Just a note from the weekend.... never eat half a watermelon from Jon and head right out to the stream...anyone know how to get urine smell out of waders? I'm thinking another get together is in order at the opening of catch and release... more later. Maybe end of Oct? Later, Jerry

I'm not sure of the head count. Myself, JDC, Paola Cat, NoLuck and his brother, JJ ?, Cocry, Cricket.....not sure who else. My plans for now are to get down there at 10 or 11 Sunday and stay at Sand Springs resort. I'll also fish Monday and Tuesday until 1:00 or 2:00 or so. See ya Sunday noon!!! Silver 3 door Yaris (Egg Car)

Mike, You gonna be in the Red Colorado truck?

Heh, you can use anything I've got, Rich. I don't have many Cracklebacks but some. The weather looks great for next weekend!!! Heat is breaking a little.

Well, fishing is getting closer for me. Can't wait. I just spent the last 3 days in Branson and I would have sure loved to fish but it was Granddaughter time. We had fun, but now I'm ready to fish!!!! I have some cool Midges I've been tying using "stretch magic" from Michaels on the body and ice peacock dubbing on the thorax. They look good so now I want to see if the fish feel the same way. SEE YA SUNDAY NOON AT THE BENNETT SPRINGS DINING LODGE

Cocry, all are welcome! I'll be in my little silver Yaris egg...3 door.

I love the reviews!!! you'd think it was a Winston.

Great Report FFF. Hate to hear about the smaller fish!!! I thought I have noticed I've caught some nice ones this year.

Heh Cricket, you know your always welcome!...sans boat in zone 2. I have one of my Grandfather's solid steel rods I was thinking of donating to JJ.

Hope you can make it! Have her bring a good book. Jerry

Just to recap this ordeal. The Get together will be AUGUST 29TH SUNDAY and 30TH MONDAY. WE WILL MEET Sunday the 29th AT 12:00 AT THE BENNETT SPRINGS DINING LODGE (just behind the store) for lunch and general fishing talk and lying. We can meet for dinner late that night if people want to. Looking forward to seeing you guys and meeting some new folks. JJ, I was planning on staying at Sand Springs but I could tent it if it's not 90 degrees at night. I am so ready to fish!!!!

I've heard of them doing good on windy days, under overhang trees. Black with Ginger hackle at the middle. I tied some but have not given them a fair shake yet.
