Flysmallie

That’s what you call a douchebag.

I don’t think the good smallie water starts until a little past Barclay.

I was just thinking about those the other day and wondering why I haven’t made any in a while. And then I remembered. It’s Russian roulette with those things.

There is a band out now that is all AI. I don’t know what it is, never cared to find out or listen. But as despising as music executives are, you know they will do it to cut out bands. And I hope their world comes crumbling down because of it. But real artists are still out there. They have stories to tell and are still writing music.

It’s a beautiful place. I’m ashamed to say that’s the first time I’ve been inside.

Bingo. If you’re just planning on day floats you could float both. But if I had to choose one it would be Jacks.

I figured you would know. It’s a cool spot.

I rarely drink anything anymore. I’m not against it but I just never do. Wednesday night my daughter and son-in-law wanted to grab a drink after dinner in downtown KC. That was the best Old Fashioned I ever had.

I remember that swap.

He’s not wrong. It’s not the exact fly but it’s from the same guy. IMG_0496.mov

Yep. Same here.

Many years ago my dad and I were fishing a tournament on Table Rock. Things weren’t going well for us. So I went to the rod box and grabbed an ultralight with a white rooster tail on it. My dad was like what the hell are you doing? Well I was frustrated and needed to catch something, anything. If I could just catch one fish I knew my attitude would change. A gill, a minnow, a baby bass, whatever. First fish was a 16 inch largemouth. Second was over 18 inches. It didn’t rescue our day. We did not cash a check. But I did catch fish.

See I told you that you were wrong!! LOL Not around weeds or cover? What are you talking about. They work fine around weeds and cover. If you would have grown up fishing them where I fished them that cover wouldn’t scare you. You know I’m just harassing you. The best lure you can fish is one you have confidence in and that typically equates to what has worked well in the past. So in the past inline spinners have worked great for me and I will throw them in some cover. I carry and use all kinds of spinnerbaits and all of them work well at times. The only ones I don’t use are the smaller ones. Those smaller, traditional spinnerbaits, are horrible. A river bass will eat a 3/8 ounce just fine. When I think I need to go smaller than that I use an inline. And as I mentioned before, a snagless sally will go through anything.

You ever used a Snagless Sally? We caught tons of fish on those in the farm ponds of Oklahoma. Buy I always have my mepps collection with me.

You are wrong on inline spinners. There’s more to them than rooster tails.
