  1. I was run off a while back at Vida. That was the only time it's happened though.
  2. Wow, that's a bit different than the last time I was down there. Thanks for the pics!
  3. I felt it in South City too. Seconds after the quake, I heard loud noises that sounded like gun shots. It turned out that they were gun shots and a police chase down my street. Awesome.
  4. I have no idea why they like the magic berries but they do...my dogs do too. I'm seriously with your flies - great use of beadchain and barbells.
  5. Mic, little piney is lousy - you wouldn't like it. Great report, I've wanted to try out Mill but haven't yet.
  6. Jeff, I have to say that I'm more than a little bit jealous! If you caught good fish like that, I promise it's not a fluke - but you should go back just to make sure!
  7. Wow, what a great trip! Very rare indeed to find such a nice piece of water!
  8. Over here in west St. Louis county I spotted some in the tall grasses of a field. I hope to check them out closer tomorrow.
  9. I'm selling my Recycled Waders Big Fanny waist/sling bag. $30 shipped in the lower 48 I've had it for almost a year but it looks hardly used (there is one subtle stain I tried to show in the bottom picture). It's a great medium sized bag that is mostly water proof (except for the zippers). Dimensions are: Main Compartment: 14"W x 9 "H x 4"D. Internal Pocket: 7 "W x5 "H External Pocket: 14"W x 9"H contact me via PM or email (faster): czarbarclay @ prodigy . net Here are some pictures:
  10. That's good to know - thanks guys!
  11. Good one, Gavin! (the Barclay clan motto is 'either action or death')
  12. Good points, JDM. It usually comes down to $$ for me. Although it's only a few bucks it matters. I believe the medical term for my condition is 'titewad'.
  13. No you don't. I don't keep trout so I don't buy a trout permit and have clarified this with conservation agents. If all you're doing is C&R all you need is a MO license.
  14. Hi Sean, if you were closer I'd be very interested. Unfortunately I need to stay somewhat local.
  15. I'm looking to buy a float tube or pontoon in good, floating condition and preferably in the St. Louis area. If you have one or know of one please pm or email me (czarbarclay @ prodigy . net)
  16. I've found the same thing as well. The gills want to set up to spawn but the weather is really screwing with them. Should be an interesting season for sure.
  17. That was probably a wise choice. How'd the gills and bass treat you?
  18. I'd say that as long as you have a green light, GO! You can always have a seat and watch the debris go by.
  19. If I were you, I'd go out to Busch to Lake 33 and rent a boat (only 5$). however with the weather we're scheduled to have this weekend it may be a bit dicey. You may do okay from the bank but it won't be quite as productive.
  20. I was out there yesterday afternoon (lake 16 - C&R lake) fly fishing and noticed that a lot of male 'gills were shallow and getting quite aggressive. I think they are preparing to spawn at all the lakes.
  21. My impression is that fluoro is denser that mono, that's why it sinks. I use Feather-Craft's fluror and it's VERY high quality and reasonable priced ($10 for 50 yards) and consistant from spool to spool. If I am using dry flies I use Orvis Super Strong.
  22. I noticed that, and I hope they do!
  23. Great video, Brian! I'll make it down there one of these days!
