Awesome flies!

Flying up the river with that rain pelting your face is like an after-shave slap in the face.

Looks like Friday may be a little rainy. I'm bringing my rain gear.

The final holdouts of a group of monkeys that escaped from a research facility in South Carolina over two months ago have been recaptured safely, the Yemassee Police Department announced on Friday. The 43 rhesus macaque primates escaped after a caretaker failed to secure doors. All are back at the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in Yemassee. The last four, recaptured this week, “appear to be in good health,” Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard said, according to police.

LOL, Marty, where in the heck did you find that?

Great tribute to you dad.

I'll play.

You've got that crappie catching dialed in!

Rawhide!

Research is needed. 😃

Good stuff - one of these days I'd like to get down there and catch a tarpon.

I've recently been looking at Lake Sakakawea in ND. HUGE lake, 130,000 acres. Smallmouth, walleye, muskie, pike, chinook salmon, and catfish. Supposedly the smallmouth are abundant as everyone goes there for the walleye. Too far for me to haul my boat but looks to be plenty of shore access and camping of all types available. If you could time it to hit right around the smallmouth spawn I bet a guy could walk the banks and do well.

Cody, you are da man! I could bring some thighs and I think I have a bag of charcoal.

Which reminds me, indoor shooting range shooting pistols, even with ear muffs those things are LOUD!

Hunted quail, pheasant and chukar back in mine and your old stomping grounds. Opener for quail, we'd run across coveys of blue quail that would have 100 birds. Burned lots of ammo. That was fun, I really miss it.

Yep, earplugs. My hearing is shot anyway, I blame that on gunfire and loud music.

What about that Chinese place you mentioned in Springfield? Is it too far from Branson?

Yikes! A bear that attacked a man in Pennsylvania this week was confirmed to have rabies, officials said Thursday. The Pennsylvania Game Commission said on Facebook that the bear "aggressively approached" a man in the town of Jim Thorpe, Carbon County, in the scenic Pocono Mountains on Sunday and began to bite and scratch him. The commission noted this is abnormal behavior for bears. The bear was shot and killed by a nearby homeowner and the body taken away for testing. "Today, January 23, 2025, the results of the tests showed the bear was positive for rabies. The person involved is expected to have a full recovery and has received appropriate medical treatment," the commission said in its statement.

Sending up the Bat signal... @abkeenan @SupremeJCK

Spam? It's a fishing trip right?

What's for dinner Thursday? 😁

Neither have I.

Pulled this one off the AGFC fishing report. Chunky brown that measured 25" caught in the Calico Rock area recently.

Just noticed this, I like it. I'm a cheapskate but in spite of that, I may pony up the extra $25 for one of these for my truck. AGFC stocks Arkansas roadways with conservation license plate • Arkansas Game & Fish Commission
