I was run off a while back at Vida. That was the only time it's happened though.
-
Wow, that's a bit different than the last time I was down there. Thanks for the pics!
-
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.

Mulberry Trees Dropping Now!

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. -
Mic, little piney is lousy - you wouldn't like it. Great report, I've wanted to try out Mill but haven't yet.
-
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!
-
Wow, what a great trip! Very rare indeed to find such a nice piece of water!
-
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.

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:

That's good to know - thanks guys!

Good one, Gavin! (the Barclay clan motto is 'either action or death')

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'.
-
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.
-
pm on the way
-
Hi Sean, if you were closer I'd be very interested. Unfortunately I need to stay somewhat local.
-
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)

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.
-
That was probably a wise choice. How'd the gills and bass treat you?
-
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.
-
Great video!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I noticed that, and I hope they do!
-
Great video, Brian! I'll make it down there one of these days!
