Howdy there brittsnbirds. Not meaning to start anything, but I think that story is just a story in a long line of stories to buy time. First it was a voluntary 4 fish limit in order for the hatchery to catch up with demand. Then it was mandatory 4 fish limit in order for the hatchery to catch up with demand. Then all of a sudden we need a new and bigger hatchery to catch up to demand. Now we have a new and bigger hatchery and they want to stock shorter fish until the hatchery can catch up to demand. I don't buy it.

Well Pete, I would have to say that would be true. Of course this only my opinion, based on history and my discussion with him in 04. As Noluck says, we are long overdue for a change. Time will tell with the next manager. Will bssp finally be allowed to keep pace with the other parks? Lets hope so.

Just heard this from a reliable source that Mike, the hatchery manager for the past several years, is on his way to a desk job in Jefferson City. Leaving at the end of this month is the rumor on the creek. Have not heard any thing on the reason for his sudden departure.

I use vanish and invisx for tippet at night. Almost always 4lb. Landed several big fish up to and including 13 lb. -
That's a good tip on the dr pepper fw, I'm guessing feeding them wheaties might do the same.

Article in springfield paper says that trout are hungry at bssp. From the looks of the skinny ones in the rearing pools, I would say that is correct.
-
For a good "suggestive" match the hatch pattern, I would recommend libbys or green giant.
-
The first two weeks in november each season, we have an exceptionally large trout park hatch.

This is the highest lake level that I can recall. Several feet above my 661 seawall, and over the stationary part of the dock ramp. Turned off power and water to the dock. I do not expect it to survive much abuse. Stiff arm post is completely underwater. No power means no blue light, so boaters need to use some caution on the water after dark.

They are good for bait, on loz we use them for buzzard bait. Works great. You will never use anyting else.

Never seen anything like that. Not sure i have even heard of anything like that.

Very tragic and sad. His topics were always friendly and helpful. I enjoyed reading them. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Most commercials these days are as ignorant as the tv shows. Gunsmoke, death valley days, and wyatt earp, now there is some shows worth watching.

Some, in that part of the country,use a lunker sized treble hook. Anywhere south of the dorsal fin is considered a fair catch.
-
I am not sure that a flood could wash out that sea of moss they have let take over. It is a sad sight when the only gravel bottom to be seen, is from the shufflers.
-
What a fish. I wonder how much the minnow weighed.

Distance and accuracy, that leaves me out. -
I say corn does kill, especially when you add a number 4 hook to the diet. I saw many a dead stringer of trout in the seventies, from the white river guide boats. Just saying.
-
In a recent survey on shuffling, It was noted that shufflers who are right handed, lead with their right foot, and make their fly presentation with their left hand.
-
This could be true fw, moss covers up most things a trout would normally find crawling along the bottom. I stood at the dam and looked upstream recently. The only patch of gravel to be seen was from an obvious shuffler. And from the looks of the daily stockers, they are not getting any extra meals in raceways.

In the 70's and 80's, I caught alot of big fish on gut flies. Some really big. But I agree on the cleaning stations. Nothing looks worse than a bunch of filleted fish carcass in crystal clear water. It takes a long time for the water critters to eat up skin and bones.

Even though you may never meet, people here, become friends. Wayne had lots of knowledge to share. No doubt he was a fine sportsman. Prayers to the family. We will miss you Wayne.
