They've started to move up into the spring by Bennett.. Haven't seen hide nor hair of em otherwise, just floated Bennett to barclay recently and hardly any goggleyes or smallies..

You try gettin them darn suckers to bite! lol

For those of you who know the place: What do you think is the problem with the place? Why can't it turn a profit? Seems like it could be a world class destination, eh?

Well I'm not one to doubt a story one way or the other (I personally hope it was a Sasquatch who had smelled you and was coming close for a better sniff, maybe a lick or two), I just know that: Light plays funny tricks with shadows at night, especially when a light doesn't hit something directly.. Water reflects and refracts light which means everything in this situation. A beaver whacking the surface sounds like a 12 gauge going off. If you've never heard it in person you WILL underestimate it. (I'm guilty of that, And I'll admit I did have to change my shorts after) Beavers CAN get darn big anyway. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Beaver As I said, I'd prefer to think it was a Sasquatch or something, but beaver is more likely than bear.. (can't for the life of me think of what a bear would be doing in that situation.. lol)

C'mon, Greg! It was just starting to get good! Ya see: When pulverizing a deceased Equine, never forget to stop and "smell the roses".. You learn to appreciate each chunk of rhetorical flesh as it lobs toward unsuspecting posters who just stopped in on page 6 to see what the commotion is about.. You should remember to examine this tidbits as they fly by, see them for the unique masterpieces (or clear warnings) that they are. And the real good stuff, the psychological release of tension that comes from the (metaphorical) blood splashing onto everyone (bonding us in a strange way), THAT doesnt even come around til page 6 or so! Ya see, it's in kicking that dead horse that we all come to terms with our true thoughts, our true feelings.. Not just about the horse (cause after all, it's already dead) but about each other. (for instance, through careful examination of many posts I have come to the conclusion that Wheat and FlySmallie were star-crossed lovers in their previous lives) However, out of respect for one of the fly fisherman who helped turn me toward the righteous path of the Fly rod (and you did, Kind Sir) and a few others who apparently take that subject pretty darn seriously, I will now back away from this dead horse (the fly vs Spin guy debate) and turn my attention to riling up people about a different subject altogether. I hope you understand my comments regarding that subject were (usually) made purely in jest and that I have truly enjoyed my time on the stream with the fly guys I HAVE met...

I must insist that, if you are going to freely give out this type of useful information, you do it in person.. I'm sure this Mike fellow would love to hit the river with you.. You Gould make a date!!

Good point, Al. The light/spotlight can play tricks with varying shadows..

I thought about opening that can of worms, but decided against it..

Totally!!!!! Matter of fact, take me and the wife with you, Thom!

He-he-he

I (for one) will look forward to more updates... Keep us informed if you see any patterns to the game fish, eh?

Well, you're half right... (gimme a break, it's been a looooooong day)

I do enjoy a decent analogy...

Hey, if you don't want in on the pissing match then put it back in your pants, ya snob! Dillweed, trying to break up a perfectly good argument.. lol

And even that wouldn't work if I wanted to stand at the counter and eat my meal... lol

Welcome! Interesting group of fellas, eh? Chief should be around shortly... Don't tell him I got to you first! Enjoy the OAF, take care.

Wrench has a creepy photo of a footprint.. Wonder if he'll post it up?

Oh, he's just being pissy and generalizing... Posturing for effect.. lol

Never wanted a chance, thanks.. (I got cuzins that r barrel racers and bull riders.. )

Suckerfish. Glad to hear you had a good night, Seth.. How late did a stay out? Did ya see many other boats? See any big bass? Where are they hiding at night? Any of em out patrolling?

Why, if you "catch" the wrong one you just release it! Spoonbill snaggers apparently routinely "release" fish.. Or so I'm told. Believe it.... Or Not.

Depends, did they have any fruit in their dashboard?

Maribou jigs are the best bet.. The colors listed above, or try pink and white...

I know, Greg.. And so does fly flinger, I'm sure (I think, I guess, I hope.. :nervouslaugh:).. I'm just moping.. lol

Then you'd have never been in that situation, cause that guy wondered over into my spot, not the other way around. Check page 1, I think it got covered.. Sorry my comical nonsense distracted you. Feel free to ignore me.
