Every time I think I am a mediocre fly fisher I am reminded how I just wish I was

Not only that I joined Pat and drove to another patch. Found a few more and some wild asparagus.

I told Pat she should look before tonight's freeze. Pick all you can before tonight. This was her haul.

Good luck JD

I like mine because Grandpa made them cool for me. I have a couple.

That will work, a classic hat that never goes out of style. Will be nice to meet you.

Can't say I don't like this. The rain of course but not the destructive foods.

They suck pretty bad right now @Ryan Miloshewski.

Here also. Pretty wide spread. Puts a real dampener on the tornado clean up in Nevada from a couple days ago. I sure don't miss doing what I used to do like these crews . Missed the assisted living where my mom is by about 500 yards.

Yes Welcome, Make yourself at home and enjoy this set of forums. Much, much more than angling. Something for everyone!

3 is out and I thought you were 9 and 3s only friend. 😀

Not so tacky

Are you all ok with catch and eat any legal bass? I know bass fisherman who catch and keep any legal walleye they catch. Are there more walleye in table rock lake than bass? Just asking not taking a side but I feel you all are being one sided? Seems like I see posts on 10, 20, 30 bass days but never see that for walleye fishermen. But incidental walleye catches are killed and eaten.

I take offense at that also. That @nessis just one of those young whippersnappers.

I think you have that covered. Wear something that makes you stand out so we can recognize you 😀. I will be sporting the white set of handlebars between my upper lip and snozola. Should not of told you that you might be looking how to avoid us.

Nice!

pat and i will be there Saturday. Always enjoy attending.

Then you should catch those feral housecats in the act and get her to compensate you. That or let those swine of yours graze in her yard.

I am sure you know what to do about that buddy.

OH yeah I forgot to share. Thanks Curt. It was another great trip. Except for the boat launching. Water had really dropped. I did take waders thinking I could at least push boat off of the trailer. Ugh no not exactly. Pat backed the boat and trailer down the ramp. We were first to launch pre sunrise but others were in line behind us. I told them go ahead, nope we want you to do it first. Okay boat showed water on the bottom on the trailer. I tried to push it off. Nope would not budge. I told Pat to drive up and back down and hit the brakes. Boat slid back on trailer four inches at a time. After four rounds of that I pushed it off. Pat parked and she got in big eyed how we get back on? I quickly responded no problem but in my mind it's like this is going to suck. Then we fished. Started out slow but when it happened it was a hoot. We caught a bunch, nice ones. Wind blown bank. So thinking why. Either thinking about spawn or plankton gathering bringing up the shad thus a shad buffet for the whites. These fish were from on the bank out to three or four feet deep. A few caught out deeper but much better response shallow. Grey over yellow and white or chartreuse over white. Strip as fast as you could. Hard strikes and good fight. Pat and I kept 20 whites and two big crappie. Bled them and on ice for trip home. Now to getting the boat on trailer. Pat backed out to the same spot. This time the bunks were actually out of the water. I pulled out the winch to the back of the trailer. Walked boat to the back and clipped it on. Then the winching began. Not too bad at first with wet boat bottom. Then it became the pits. Winch and rest, winch and rest. Finally within six inches of where it should be Pat pulled us up. Gathering everything for trip home and I got it the rest of the way back on trailer. No more launching of this place until a raise. Too darned bad. It's fixing to get awesome.

They are in the woods here. Last year setting up swarm traps I got a whiff of the callery pear blossom. Not a pleasant smell. I kept looking until I found it in the timber. Went over to it. Honey bees and other pollinators use them but not significant for bees. I asked the land owner if I could cut it down. Well yes certainly. That same area has many now.

Yes it is a big mess. Right now they are standing out like a diamond in a goats arse. Actually some here are leafing out an flowers a waining. When those are gone I'm afraid people will forget and not worry until next spring. I have neighbors I want to sneak in and go samurai on those trees!

Probably next to mine. Just let us know when you make that trip. Would be good to see you again.

Ear worm song for sure. Now really tell me what forum member were you thinking about listening to this song?🤣

Cool beans Ronnie! Watch out for those sculpin helmets. Ask me how I know.😁
