That is really good news. I, as a fairly new fly fisherman, after not haveing any luck the last couple of times out had just about given up on fly fishing. This news gives me the encouragement to continue on. Morton

I don't know what the schedule is suppose to be but if there is no generation around 11:00 am, using this link, we are going. river level

No generation Saturday and Sunday. If I did not have a cast on my foot, I would be going. Wife and I went last weekend. She caught her first trout. Quite exciting. I did well after changing from woolies to san juan worms.

the 4,5,6 reel is 16369 I don't see a number on the tr3 I have on ebay. What does that tell us?

Hi, I have put a few more items on ebay. You can use this link and then check my "other items" to see it all. If you see something you like and it does not sell. Let's talk. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT I also have an Abel X-Stream 4,5,6wt reel and 9" 4pc 5wt rod combo set that I have not listed yet. The reel is loaded with SA air cel WF-5-F Thanks

I was there sunday. I think I was fishing across from you. I was using a brown wooly. Did you ask me what I was using. I too, am from Owasso. Morton

I wondered if anyone made it out this last Sunday. If you are getting restless and tired of waiting for the water to slow down you may want to consider a day trip to the Blue River near Tishomingo in south central Oklahoma. http://blueriverok.com I say a day trip, because it was a 3 hour drive for us from Owasso. We caught a couple of rainbows, one was decent size. We are beginners, I am sure someone with more experience would do a lot better. We saw a few good stringers from people fishing from shore. We did not get to try the catch and release area that was supposed to have more larger fish. I think it is worth the drive if you have the time.

As many of you have probably noticed, the 24 hour discharge cycle seems to be ending, which brings up the question as to when can one get into the river to fish. What would be the maximun gauge hieght and discharge to watch for? Thanks. P.S. did anyone make it out this past weekend?

I forgot to mention that my wife was with me and fishing from the shore with natural bait. She got tired of getting hung and trowing off the bait so she rigged up a bass worm and promptly caught a rainbow. Who would of thought of that:

OH NO my Manford friend, let there be no misunderstanding. After last weekend I am totaly immersed in the art of fly fishing. It has become an obsession with me. I recently met a fellow in Tulsa that was selling out of all his fly fishing gear, so I bought the whole enchilada. What I am putting up for sale are items that I don't need or want. I bought new waders and boots a couple of months ago that I am using now. I also have a fanny pack, a chest pack, a creel bag, over 400 flies, some fly boxes, and some rods and reels, plus a ton of tying material that I may never use. I will list them some time later.

I have listed a few items on ebay if anyone is interested. Simms waders size L-King. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Simms wading boots size 10. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Filson fly fishing vest. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Thanks for looking.

OK...44 Sounds great. I hope they get back to a regular release schedule so we can plan something. Morton

Did anyone else fish the LI this weekend? I did, Saturday afternoon, and it was great. I caught 5 rainbows in about 3 hours. I was at the gravel pit area, used wooly bugger, san juan worm, and microlite jig. I talked to another fellow, and he said they were hitting real good in the morning. By the way, this was my first outing with my waders, boots, and fly rood. First time to catch trout with a fly. It was wonderful. Can't call me a wanabeflyer anymore. Morton Hatch

I have been fishing for a long time including warm water fly fishing. I am just now starting to tie. I have been looking at Wooly Buggers and San Juan Worms, mainly because they seem to be easier to learn, but I would like to know what else to use to fish for trout in the Oklahome and Arkansas trout streams. Say, a couple of patterns that would be easy to learn. Thanks

I came across and Abel TR3 reel with spare spool and an Abel Xtreme 4pc 5wt rod. I am not familiar with this brand. Does anyone know anything about them. thanks
