retroaction man

yeah it would be nice if they fixed this

Thanks for the update zhoyt. I was down there sunday morning and it was a super slow day. They were not hitting the midges so i decided to try to top water flys. They seemed to key in on my brown grasshopper flys but i only caught a few. one thing i did notice were a lot of dead fish on the bottom of the river. Im guessing this is normal to see after they stock the river though. that is the unhealthy ones dying off.

Took the kayak down to the tailwater yesterday. Fishing was a little slow but i was able to catch a few nice ones. Tan and Blue dun midges worked best for me. Early in the morning we had no drift flow what so ever and i think that might have affected at least my fishing. About 10:30 it picked up. Tons of fish are in the tailwater right now due to the stocking. Lots of people were yesterday but i think it also had to do with parker being closed for construction. does anyone know when they plan to be finished with construction ? just thought i would throw out an update for everyone see ya on the river

i would advise to go fore a sit in kayak and go to a longer rod. bu that would just be my opinion. I pretty much hate everything about a SOT kayaks when it comes to fishing rivers ans streams. Now if we are talking fishing on a gulf or along inter coastal waterways i would totally say use a SOT. Also the "hybrid" kayak/canoes have really been catching my eye. I know Mohawk and Mad River have roto molded hybrids and this right here might be the next boat i buy http://www.madrivercanoe.com/product/index...s/adventure_16/

i recommend picking up a couple of these http://www.thebeerbelly.com/

im not suprised one bit that came out of the little sugar.

not looking good. lots of rain coming this weekend as well

HAve you taken a look at crazy creek seats ? i use the kayak seat for my sit in perception swifty and its very comfortable and has great back support http://www.crazycreek.com/product/3/24/ this is the one i have but check out the other models

i really like the new format. Great job guys.

http://www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil/WCDS/plots/Web/bea.htm this is the correct link the link at the top of the forum is actually the chart for Norfork looking like we might get some low water this weekend ( fingers crossed ) i plan on heading down sunday morning as long as there is no generation. Wind permitting i may also bring the kayak because im guessing quite a few poeple will have the same idea.

Just picked up a Lefty Kreh Signature Series rod 5 wt. I think i want a fighting butt on this rod just for the sole purpose of protecting the end of my rod. I looked on tfo's website and it doesnt look like im able to just flat out buy one from them. Where would be a good place to go ( real place or internet ) to get one of these for my rod ?

Fishing is decent in bella vista but if you want to get into the bigger ones you are better off fishing the parts up in mo. Those areas hold really nice fish ( and a dung load of snakes also so be careful those snakes dont seem to be too afraid of people )

Last year someone showed me how they used a needle to connect their fly line to the leader. He took the needle and heated it up. stuck the needle up into the line and let it melt to a certain extent. Then he glues the needle to the line where they met. I thought it was kinda cool but personally i dont think i could ever trust it to really hold. He said he had never had any trouble with it though. Anyone else ever used or seen this being used ? I just tie a small loop at the end of my line and use the loop to loop leaders

Get on down to paradise Maybe once, now maybe twice

Ive seen a couple of these down on the beaver tailwater. Always wondered exactly what they were. And ive only run across them dead. I could totally see brown trout eating these things
