Yes same thing. As soon as they hear or even see that truck the fish go crazy. Heck walking the raceways at Taneycomo, Bennett, roaring River and Montauk plus the raceway at Westover those pellet eaters began to froth the water when you pass.

Multiple goodies, Smoking cheese this is Sharp cheddar and Colby Jack. Seven pounds. Next a batch of BilletHeads BBQ sauce and cowboy candy, Some fried dove with mashed potatoes and dove gravy, Hen of the woods mushroom (maitake) to be separated and cleaned, Made a couple burgers out of some meat sourced form a new meat market that is now in town (warden's meat) 80/20. Flavor was great but trying to get past the fat content. I know fat has flavor but we are used to a leaner grind. Maybe try the 90/10 next time. This being said it's been literally years since we purchased hamburger meat. Sides of fried hen of the woods and smoked cheese,

Yes some good natural trout food in that stream, yes some scuds about like your closest trout Park roaring River. No trout pellet feeding once turned loose until the runs in the trout stock retaining areas feed which is not happening at this time. Then all heck turns loose as the uneaten pellets flush into the spring creek. The hatchery fish go crazy even though some of those fish have survived the onslaught of fisherman for weeks. IMO the only fish that truly began to go feral are the ones that drop into the Niangua or get stocked there.

You know that section well and weren't bumping into people!

Come on buddy, Pat and I were over there for two nights camping and fishing a couple weeks ago. Looking at the building area, you are still going to have the same amount of spring creek to fish as you always have and even though no fish from the down hatchery the fishing was good and size was great. I was actually kind of tickled that fish was coming from another place. Word was out some of the fish had orange flesh. Sure, enough the carcasses in the water of the bigger fish had orange flesh. The spring creek park hatchery fish were as always enjoying the guts. Wherever MDC was buying fish they were feeding something other than what MDC feeds. You will have more fish stocked into your spring creek than all the urban ponds that Bennett supplies fish to. Face it is what it is. It's a park.

In my world a stocked rainbow does not equal a wild native rainbow, cutthroat, or greyling caught in their respective native habitat. Like I said some of these urban fisherman don't get out very far from home, just like you Glen. You just happen to be close to a spring Creek.

You know how I feel on this subject. I do like places to catch trout that occupy a niche on all of our spring creeks and man made tail water cold water fisheries. Let me rephrase what you said. There is nothing "natural" about catching trout in Missouri period. As far as stocking ponds in urban areas the monies brought in is for all the people's. There are people that would never get to rural places and fish like you and I and everyone else on this forum. I'm fine with these hatcheries spreading the non natural trout around for everyone.

This one closer to home. It was released and no official weight. Big one none the less! Mad Katz Unlimited | Breaking news out of Kansas City, Missouri, Jesse Lance might have just broke the state record | Facebook

Very, very tasty and like you our number one favorite fish to catch on the fly rod. White bass right behind. VID_20240725_141428655.mp4

Next thing you know one of the pelegic species will be the next thing to bash.

Pretty cool! He did a good job. Thanks for sharing.

It is my friend.

What will we be doing with his @Foghorn?

For sharing but especially for @Foghorn since he was baiting me to post here. yesterday morning I went grocery shopping. My cart was full, and it was the limit. The legs, thighs and wings were put in the crockpot with the broth from the last couple of chickens we had saved. Some dried rosemary pitched in too. When falling off the bone Pat picked the meat. She got it out for a late lunch and took half of it and made turkey salad. 4d6d253a-980b-47dc-9cb0-5a0670d00331.mp4 She kept stirring and added the picked turkey, mayo, celery seed, craisins, dill relish, some salt, chopped pecans, and chopped onions. Made some skillet toast out of sourdough bread. Time to eat out on the back screened in porch during this windy but nice day.

How did you guess this? 😆

My step grandma was of Norwegian descent. Her and Grandpa spent many years in Minnesota. When they moved down here for awhile she made Thanksgiving dinner. Put oysters in the dressing. I know this is a thing but I didn't like it.

Anything we can catch is fun, but the long-term effects has not come to light here yet. We will see fingers crossed. European honeybee is an example for the good. What we all have seen the common carp do to clean water is not a good thing.

As much as we dislike otters they were here before we were and actually belong. Snakehead don't and otters can't even control the European carp. They try though. I've watched them hunt and kill carp. Ruthless killers.

Fall turkey grocery shopping. Young jake and a hen. Good eating pair. Two for one shot. Let them line up and let them have it. I knew where there was a flock hanging out. Waiting for a cool morning. 45 with a north wind was nice. u

Things are so stagnated at the CIA they are now the grammar police.

Just another food plot .

We were at a yearly event called trout bust over the last few days. Saturday afternoon the kids were asking for donations for the fireworks display for that night when the band took a break. I threw in a ten in the can. Like did I know this display was going to be a good one. I hope this attachment of 20 seconds goes through. The total show went on for quite awhile.
