You certainly picked an appropriate sign on name.

What's a BTG fly? Is it a "Big Trout Grabber"? or did you mistype and it's really a "BIG" fly?

Aren't you a lucky duckydoty......

I guess we'll see. Just hope folks can catch fish with it!

Ok, I've decided on a dry fly, a Hackle Wing Caddis!

Must be the surface temp, although the graph I'm looking at does not specify that.

FYI--As of yesterday, the temperature of Table Rock was 53.2.

I'm in!!! Flies TBD...

I'm afraid that if I tried to hunt and fish at the same time, I might get confused, and shoot a fish and/or hook a duck.

Happy Holidays, Phil!

I'll have seconds on that potion?!

Thank you for this info., Phil. On a recent trip to Arkansas, travelling south on AR 21 just outside Berryville, duckydoty, my daughter and I noticed more than 20 bald eagles dotting the trees above Osage Creek to the east of the bridge. I know this is not a phenomenon that many people see in this area. It was incredible to see this many bald eagles at one time in such a small area. My concern, after seeing this, was that possibly the 6 or so poultry houses on the northwest and southeast sides of the creek may have been openly disposing of their dead poultry?, which, to my understanding, was once allowed but is now illegal in Arkansas. Does anyone have any other ideas as to why there would be so many eagles roosted in such a small area at one time?

Does anyone know anything about the Arkansas Watershed Advisory Group, good? or bad? or when their next meeting might be held? This issue kind of reminds me of an environmental battle I was involved with back in the 90's--the proposed Hobbs Mountain Landfill in Durham, AR. Back then, common sense and basic logical reasoning lead me to the thought that putting a landfill on top of a mountain was not at all a bright idea. Although this an energy resource issue and not just one of the potential for pollution of ground water and watersheds, the negative environmental impact sounds to be very similiar. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

Great photos! Thanks for posting.

You guys are quacking me up!!!!! Duck hunting with duckydoty should be a BLAST!

Dano~ Hey! That's my favorite call....eh, "ducky"doty....

What a great thing!!! Thanks for passing it along Terry! Happy holidays!

Absolutely beautiful Crane Creek specimen. Way to go!

Even though these fish are some of the ugliest creatures I have ever seen, they are very tasty IMO. The meat is white and has an unexpected sweet flavor. I think a commercial market is a great idea! I've seen some great videos of bow fishing for these fish--quite the challenge as they are flying out of the water!! How about a derby? FYI-not a good idea to do any water skiing in areas where these fish are abundant!
