Why do we wait for Phil, I think Dano has the authority.

It relates to my mastery of the Google Search Engine. Except I rearranged the letters too, should be Google Fu.

Dam. Somebody stole that yak out of my back yard. Good looking boat, glad to see it back. Did anyone figure out who the POS was that stole it in the first place or did it just float off? More pics of the boat would be nice, it looks like a work of art.

Just my 2 cents. I camp many nights a year in both public and private campsites. Private owned and managed are far stricter and are patrolled more than public. State Parks tend to make sure they collect the money, they let dog owners have barking dogs, don't enforce quiet hours, and have no security in sight if you would need it after the fee collection times end. Private camps usually don't allow dogs, have security patrolling or accessible at a guard shack all night, controlled access to the park, and are usually more suited to catering to individual campers with a more relaxed atmosphere. Neither should be held liable for what happens at the location that is out of their control. Unless they or their agents are the ones instigating the illicit activities. We really need to see "the rest of the story".

My Google foo is better than your spell checker.... I typed in Camp Zoe in my Google Search bar in Firefox and it popped up this article which actually had the link to the court document filed. Pretty ominous if you take the time to read it, "The United States of America vs ", lets you know right off the bat you are pretty well in deep sh. The whole US of A is going to court against you. Then I looked at the Homepage for the Wild Hunt thinking it may be an outdoors site with a name like that and find out it is a Pagan Worship Website. Same misunderstanding when I paid to see the "Girls Gone Wild", some names are misleading.....

I used to play the Deerhunter series by Sierra and a Duck Hunter game on the PC. I had a Flyfishing game at one time that was pretty lame also, but it passed away the winter nights. Of course, they were DOS or Windows 95 era games. New processors would have to be stepped down to get them to play right.

They would be temperature dependent, deeper water or spring locations would be the first places I would try. Gravel bottoms or areas where crayfish will be located. Is this the lake near Carbondale that used to get stocked with trout? I can't remember the name but have fished it a few times, its either Devils Kitchen or Little Grassy if I remember right.

Interesting thread on another website with an actual link to the document filed in the court, looks like there was some pretty serious drug action going on, even with the owner Tableau present. I am sure Zoe's side of the story is a little more innocent in order to try to prove innocence. It looks like the land grab should be a little harsh, why not just file charges against ownership or actual dealers? Maybe because it was incorporated. Of course, this comes off of a devil worship website.... The Wild Hunt Article

Now why did you have to make it a political issue and drag politics into it?

If they can seize property on the basis of another's drug use, then I guess I am liable now. We found a mobile meth lab on our property a few years back. They come in thru private property, went up a stream bed out of sight on a 4wd jeep, built a fire and made a batch, then left the mess. Did not even know it till I was fishing up stream a week or so later and found it. We also had someone burn a vehicle on the same property one night, did not even find it till next rabbit season. Local law enforcement did not even bother to make a report. Of course, we would be covered by a trespass law, the land is posted and they were not invited. Owner's of the event could be held liable. If you hold a party and let an underage person drink your booze, then you are liable. If you give a legal person booze and they have too much, take off driving, and kill someone in a wreck, you could be liable. This did apply to bars unless it has been changed. I would assume there are other things involved in this than what is making the news. I read a little about it on River Hills Traveler. I would assume a crowd like this would draw may have had some ill effects on the local population. While most were probably upstanding persons, I would assume local law enforcement probably saw a spike in crime during the events. There is another event that draws this same problem over in Ill. at a Saltpeter Cave.

Salute to the good guys, happy Veterans Day.

Jackson Rotary Park Lake in Jackson, MO.

It could very well be, depending on the depth of the lake. Nights have been cool but it warmed up to 75 today here. That would be too warm for them to feed well, but the wind here kept the lake stirred up and the water was still cool to the touch. I have noticed in 4 trips to the local lake, my fly has out produced all of the spinfishers.

Trout still fishing well this week. Nice weather but only have about an hour after work to fish before dark and the time change. Took the Daughter last 2 days and caught several apiece on bead head nymphs under an indicator. Lots of rises, could not see anything on the water.

I will see what falls out of the sky. Goose does not open up here till Thanksgiving, then I will target them also.

It was pretty slow this weekend, sunny and bright all weekend. Ice froze on the yak Sat. morning and picked duck Sun. after dark in short sleeves and 70 degrees. Not much to push them thru, but it is still early. Drought is helping local MDC areas, keeping birds concentrated where there is water.

Shoot them before they reach the coast! It's DUCK SEASON..........

There used to be a chapter in Rolla, did it disband?

Does drying out the felt actually prevent the spread of the diatom? I thought it could cyst up and resist drying.

The forestry service has been doing controlled burns along with the MDC in area where they see the need. Not all of the timber needs a good burning, especially our farm. My concern is the 1800 acres of 10 year old clear cut that joins our land that was divided up after the cut into 40 acre hunting plots. I don't need some city slicker starting a fire out of ignorance.

How would you define the "High Water Mark"? Is it where the stream ends and the land begins? If you were to define a high water mark on the creek that runs thru my property, you would have access to all of the creek bottoms and my fields also. It is normally a stream that you could wade across a riffle and not get more than a shoe wet, less that 1/2 knee deep. But in flood stage, that same riffle may be 100's of yards wide. Almost all of the streams are the same way. If you follow that train of thought, someone could leave the stream, cross a few fences and be out in the middle of my fields on dry land and still be "not Trespassing". I think what we have now is more than adequate, and more liberal than most states.

The boundary used to be the bridge as you come in to the park and above, when did they change it?

We have a local dealer that sells CAMOCLAD, puts it on boats, atv's, trucks, guns, bows, etc. Its expensive and I feel a little too shiny to be of any real use other than decoration. Nothing beats flat paint. CAMOCLAD

If they could not smell, powerbait would be unscented! I really don't think a thread sealer keeps its smell long after it dries, it is the part is evaporates in the drying process. I too use Sally Hansen, and painted all my beads with Love My Nails Pearl for trips to Alaska for Trout and Dollies.

The horn blew on Monday at the local winter trout fishery at Jackson, MO. MDC Stocking rig arrived around 11 and did its dump. I met up with a friend and his young son for a little after work fun. Little one caught one on 2nd cast with the snoopy pole and a orange and gold spoon. I landed 10 rainbows, 23 blue gill, and 2 bass in the course of an hour and a half. Past years have had the lake silted with mud from construction upstream and fishing poor. This year was clear and good fishing. Pressure was light with about 10-12 fishing at any one time. Suspended bead head nymphs were the fly of the day.
