    Well I have fished several days this season but it looks like I will fall 64 fish short of my goal. Still it was a great year fishing with my wife Sandy. She landed her first lunker rainbow this season and ended the season with a total of 6 lunkers. As soon as cold weather hits she is done. Great job on completing your goal Daryk.

    Pick the narrowest channel between you and truman dam. They have to pass through on their annual migration upstream. Once the spawn run is over, I have no idea.

    We bailed early because of the wind and cold. Didn't do as well as on Friday but some decent fish was a pleasant surprise. It was good to finally meet you fishinwrench. Hope to see you on the creek again.

    I think this is exactly why it works on the white and not at taney

    I can't deny that Pete.

    I think that mo browns do spawn when you have several miles of spawning riffles and other suitable spawning water. That being said, Arkansas white river below bull shoals has several miles with the influx of other tail race water to help maintain a good water temperature. The norfork and little red tail races offer a few miles of good spawning water in addition . It might have something to do with the different strains of brown trout between mo and ark. Good question. Maybe some of the fishery people will chime in.

    Harv and I fished Columbia's city pond on Friday. We quit around 1:30 only catching a few dinks between us. I stopped in at Mckay on my way home and added a few more to the tally. Felt like I should have saved time to visit the zoo just to round out the day.

    that stuff used to be red hot in the 70's and 80'. now it seems just kind of average compared to other egg pattern materials. Did you tie those streamers you sent? I caught many a bass on those. thanks

    Yes that would be whatever hits the water just prior to the guy fishing beside you.

    Are you trying to make me feel guilty? I should note though, that Foghorn gave a secret fly that I caught 19 lunker brown trout on.

    There was a discussion once way back when on 'suggestive" patterns. With my skills at the vise, my scuds are suggestive at best. But I can tie several in a short period of time. Pick out the best looking ones and head to the creek.

    For trout I tie scuds in size 14, 16, and 18. Color is not important as long as it is gray.

    Yes december 10 1976. What I meant was that I didn't know when the 2nd friday in november started. First they added friday then followed by monday. The first season or two was zone 1 only.
  14. laker67
    In answer to Gavin comment. Not sure when it began, but the second friday in november is the start, and the 2nd monday in february is the close. The shut down time in november allows them to deliver fresh fish to the city ponds.

    Like you and Pete, I agree. Not sure what purpose it serves compared to the lower ones. It seems that dumping that extra water into the lower ones would have been a better option. Someone had one of them million dollar ideas.

    Standing on the stairs at either outlet is the only option. That is if the wooden stairs at #2 are still secure. Normally in conditions like these, the locals meet at the pavilion and take bets on whether the stairs will survive this flood event.

    Didn't know that Westover was involved. How about Crystal Lake near West plains? When I talked to the hatchery at bssp, they mentioned several north and northwest lakes that they took care of. I fished Mckay lake and recognized the pathetic and pale 8 to 10 inchers they stocked. Every one looked like a faded out Mcloud with Jaundice.

    Them browns might be headed north. And you are right, I can count on one hand the number of browns I fished for this past season.
  20. laker67
    When MDC tells you in February that there is going to be a shortage of fish for the upcoming season, and that numbers stocked will be reduced. They must have already pulled out the tens of thousands of fish, and most of the lunkers, that they send to city ponds.
  21. laker67
    They sure as heck don't at bssp. Unless of course it happens to be out of state free fishing weekend.
  22. laker67
    Bssp has the perfect water for a c and r but it falls on deaf ears. The rock hole to the dam apron is ideal water . But what the heck do I know.
  23. laker67
    All of the above. It was easy to find 30 to 40 lunkers in a day of fishing at bssp. Out of those 40 lunkers you would have an opportunity to fish for several. On a good day you might hook 5 or 6 and land 1 or 2. If you just wanted to fish for numbers, 50 nice size fish per day was not uncommon. Wasn't any of these dinks running around, most fish were in the one pound and up category. Most lunkers averaged 4 to 7 pounds with one or two 10 plus. That was a typical weekend day at bssp.

    People who did not fish in the 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000 have no idea how pitiful park fishing has become. It seemed for awhile, recently, that things might be headed in the right direction again, only to find the creek full of 8 and 10 inchers again. Why promote the urban areas to gain more fishermen, when they can't handle the situation they have now. I say just buy fish from the private suppliers and forget about trying to raise, ugly, non fighting, faded out dinks.

    Put them ten pounders in them ponds. Don't you dare put any in the trout parks.
