I rarely use them. Some have never seen water. Some have barely learned how to swim. 5 are Lucky Craft. The rest are a mixture Rapala, Smithwick, Mann, etc. I will take $50 for the lot, local pickup. $60 shipped to lower 48.
There have been pockets of them in Bull Shoals for decades. I’ve caught several just below the mouth of Cedar Creek where the channel swings into the bank.
My neighbor and I went this morning. It was tougher than last time. Places that gave up a dozen only produced 1-6. We only fished shaky. We wound up with 33. None were keepers. They were from 2-20’ deep. The water was 87-89°.
Oneshot I think your heart is in the right place but your knowledge has a ways to go. You might want to look up “the scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses” and figure out if or not they were Kinnites instead of Jews.
There is a vast difference between the lost tribes of Israel ( ten tribes taken by the Assyrians) and the tribe of Judah to which you were referring when you used the word Jewish.
I haven’t been back to know. However, with the lack of rain and the distance from the dam I can’t imagine there being any current unless you get above McCord bend which I don’t do. As for clarity I hope it is still dingy like James is supposed to be.
I don’t know anything about those McCloud trout. I never even heard the name until I read it on this site. All I know is when we fished it we used crayfish from the creek, peeled tails on 10# test mono if we wanted mid sized ones, full sized live ones on 20# test with a 3/0 hook for the good ones that lived in the root wads. We hadn’t even heard of a fly rod.
I’ve lived around Crane Creek since the 60s. I seen it low but never as bad as described. The water always seems icy cold to me. I don’t know about the headwaters up by Mrs. Leak’s house because I seldom went there. Our farm on the creek was several miles down stream. It is a couple of miles below the confluence of Crane and Spring Creeks.
