On bait? Jigs?
-
Very comprehensive report. Many thanks.
-
Hope the fish are finding places with enough water to survive and reproduce.

A five-foot juvenile, former pet was an imminent threat? Since it was killed, why not retrieve and grill the thing? (The meat makes delicious barbecue, and the ODWC could've sold plates to help fund . . . something.) You are about 120,000 times more likely to die in the wreckage of your vehicle than you are in the jaws of a 'gator. If you don't even think twice about jumping into your ride to drive to the fishing hole, does getting all worked up over the thought of a reptile make much sense?

That's a heap of persistence, rpike. Many thanks for the fine photos and report.

Excellent.

Excellent report. Here's hoping the baby browns grow into really big browns.
-
Nice variety, Gregg. Especially with smaller flies pulled near the bottom, you ought to be running into some sauger any minute now.
-
Please don't eat the cows!! If you are hungry, save your beef money and buy a fly rod.
-
Yay!
-
Sold.

Several stellar, borderline breathtaking photos there. Many thanks for sharing.
-
Man . . . those could pass for ocean-going fish from the Atlantic Seaboard somewhere. Great going, and thanks for posting up.

That's too bad. Challenging is one thing; near impossible, another. I have a small pile of large rainbowish trout streamers that may not see much use.

Anybody target or luck into any over the last few months? One Tulsa fly fisher says February is usually the best sauger month in that area. Pretty colours on this one from February 2008:

You don't hear that every day. Very nice report.
-
What about sauger in those two fisheries? Very interesting.
-
Nice report on some fine fish. Kind of surprised no one piped up about it. What's happened in the last three weeks? Fished moved up shallower?

September 8, 2009 Stockton Lake Fishing Report
swellcat replied to Thompson Fishing Guide Service's topic in Stockton Lake
Any idea what kinds of bugs? Mayflies? -
So, "brownies" are smallmouth bass?
-
Some of the best materials are free. How about an alpaca shad?

Water, Weather, And Whether?
swellcat replied to swellcat's topic in Upper and Lower Illinois River (OK)
Thanks for the replies. Kinda what I would guess. The extra current flowing into the Arkansas might sort of ring the dinner bell for stripers as it seems to for catfish and draw 'em on in. Thing is, if the water is muddy or extremely turbid, how much good could a fly flinger do? Seems like cut shad or chicken liver conditions. -
Missouri has both warmouth (Lepomis gulosus) and rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris). To distinguish the species, count anal fin spines: a warmouth should have three; a rock bass, six. Scroll down at this site for info on and pics of several similar sunfish species.

Feel your pain, but, more striking, what a smart, funny post! Hilarious. Hope to see more of your work. You might work the pop guns into your next CaRbela's* riff. *There is a crusty old Karl Childers like rod repairman in the Fort Worth area who says "CaRbela's."
