As always the 11 Point Canoe Rental put on a first class event. I wish I could get a BBQ like that every time I came off the water. The apple dumplings and apple crisp were outstanding. Fishing is always GOOD! Cook better luck on that rod next year. It was good to see everyone until next time - FISH ON! Superfly
I am not an expert but I bet the river will be fishable on Saturday. Just a guess 900cfs. The big rain is South. Someone should catch a big fish this weekend. Just my 2 cents. Superfly
John Berry posted a nice article on the 11point River on Ozarkanglers.com home page. Sounds like you had a great trip down a great river. Thanks for sharing. Superfly
I think we need to have a seance to raise the ghost angler for the new Tito Crawdad pattern and where the ghost casts his mystical line to the monster BOW. Superfly
Ghost Angler great story with a big fish. Now are you going to give up the location of the gaint monster BOW. I am looking forward to seeing some of your ties. Superfly
Greg I read that article too. I think it was in an old issue of fly rod and reel or flyfisherman mag. I think the research was done at a MT university. With the better nutrition they compared the trout to being on crack when hooked up. From my experience the trout in the Big Horn fight 10x harder than any MO trout. Why is that? Nutrition?
ozark trout fisher you asked for trout management changes? any ideas. I believe those 3 ideas would produce more and larger trout in our blue ribbon waters. Missouri needs to follow some of the western states laws for trout management.
I would like to see "no kill" catch and release in all Blue Ribbon Areas. Along with single hook use ownly (no treb hooks)! Also ban all motorize boats in Blue Ribbon Areas. I don't think motorize boats do any good to the stream beds.
Brian got a nice article in the July Issue of Rural Missouri Magazine on the Eleven Point Canoe Rental Guide Service. Check it Out! Superfly

HYDE, DON'T HAVE A SOFT PLASTIC LURES TIED ON YOUR LINE IN THE BLUE RIBBON AREA. THE MDC WILL GIVE U A TICKET IF THEY CHECK U. HAVE FUN ON YOUR TRIP DOWN THE SCENIC 11POINT.
That really sucks that they locking up the Graveyard Hole. I really liked to fish that area. That makes it a pretty good hike now. Brain do you think FS would give us/you a key? Ha! Ha! Superfly
