Elaborate. How can you almost get killed from a prop? Unless it came undone.

But 3 of them are still in the driveway.

Both Il and Mo have activated the National Guard now in prep for the incoming disaster.

Never "catastrophic" if you look at the real data and don't look for the opinions. NWS.gov is the only weather forecast I look at, and a radar image. Lots of moisture and stuff coming from down south. We are looking at .2 of ice, then lots of sleet which weighs a ton. I have seen it pancake pole barns at 6 to 8 inches. Makes driving a pain.

I have had 4 Tracker boats, but Johnny never sends much more than a catalog or a statement.

Probably putting it up in the catch and release part, just to generate more revenue. Noticed the Didymo boot cleaning station near the Hatchery bldg that cost 30 grand is dug up an gone. More money on a worthless cause. But the tax money generated from the sales tax on all the new waders and wader boots made up for it I am sure.

You can't tell me the "real pros" toss their clothes each time they wear them. Have them send you something worthwhile, not the Billy Bob Trucker Hat. Tell them you bought the real motor, not the little transom 36.

Companies I deal with in St. Louis are already off for Weds and Thurs. Its the end of the world if you look at Wally World. Between the first of the month welfare and the sheep getting the bread and milk, its a madhouse. Lines at gas pumps. Traffic backed up. If it is like the one 2 weeks ago, we will end up with "some" rain, then that will freeze the car doors shut. They were hyping that one to bring 6-18 inches here. Missed us by 300 miles

Send it back and tell them you wanted a jacket.

Funny you bring that up, the west side was not posted well and the east side looked very well used and partied upon two weeks ago when I was up driving around looking at places I used to fish 30 years ago. There is a cable across the stream about 100yds below the bridge. In my county, I can't press trespass charges for a game cam pic clearly showing a vehicle and license plate with a driver, .3 mile down a private lane past 2 clear "No Trespassing" signs approaching a dead end at a home. My response, no law against driving down a road??? But, I can shoot them if I feel my life is in danger and need to protect myself, property, or family.

Looks like the intake project is on a 4 million dollar budget. You can access the expenditures here, its on the 2021 page down in the documents. Looks like they are spending 10 grand on a fish cleaning station at Montauk soon also. https://mdc.mo.gov/about-us/business-information

Missouri used to do it onsite at Montauk. I have watched it happen and have been in the room with the large glass containers watching them suck out the dead eggs from the mix. There was some talk about having issues with production in 2020 because they could not strip eggs and milk and keep social distance. Walked around the hatchery runs with the grandson Saturday at Montauk, there is a good mix of trout being raised. Most stockers are down by the lodge in those runs, youngest fry in runs near hatchery building, and brood stock and next size up near the lake. Not sure about the Arkansas system. I know that Mammoth and Norfork merged their system a few years back in some ways. There was a problem with a disease at Hinkle and the supply was coming from other locations. Feds would only raise trout to a certain length, so State had to follow suit and only produce the smaller trout to release. Hinkle used to release some of the brood stock in late summer into the river and you could pick up some big ones. Missouri has done it also. You would think there would be some mixing of the brood stock to keep genetics from getting too inbred. Not sure how they handle that.

I have caught Horny Heads on the fly. I have caught Buffalo on spin gear.

The mad scientists turned the rainbows into browns...

Throw a couple thread wraps over the chart foam on ants and it will hold.

Like everything, open to analysis by everyone else.. Anyone notice that cold south wind today?

Careful there, fishermen are some of the biggest liars. You are slinging alot of mud.

Offense is always a good defense.

Maybe you have a natural immunity. Have you been to any Chinese Labs selling them pipes? Played with bats? Voted for the other side?

We are so touchy feely any more.

Just to kill time....

Don't chew them, suck them down like a big snot wad. It helps to marinate yourself in alcohol before you eat them, makes them more easy on the palate.

Boat shows are cancelled because of no boats to show.

I stayed in Rolla at the motel by Sirloin Stockade. Nice clean room. Motel in park is open, Reeds Cabins, motels in Licking.

But there is a 5 or 6 hour time zone change. Its still afternoon there...
