We used to go to Rockaway every Saturday morning, get there before dawn, catch trout, head home and have them for breakfast. That was good eating.
-
Nice looking trout. Do you C&R or eat?
-
Mill Creek down by KC or Campbell Point?
-
Wow heck of a string for any time of the year. Congrats
-
We wound up catching 34 but only 2 were bonafide keepers. A couple of others would have been measured before going back if there had been a monetary reason involved. I’m hoping for half that today as the boss will be today’s passenger and she doesn’t fish any longer.
-
So that’s where the keepers are. My neighbor and I fished between Cape Fair and Thompson on Tuesday. We caught fish on plastics all day long but keepers were rare.
-
So how did it go for you on Wednesday? I’m heading down in about an hour.
-
Cape Fair clarity is just the way I like it, about 2’ of visibility, It was a plastic dink fest for us.
-
I’m heading down there this morning. I think I will go down to start.
-
I guess none of the locals are on here now.
-
Yes they had one. That is where we locals met tourist girls.

I was at Stockton Lake yesterday and could see a little change in the water color around Rouark Bluff. The Sacs were running muddy from the recent rain. I know Springfield and Ozark got quite a bit of rain also. I believe Cassville did as well so Flat may be rolling. Has the James been muddied up? If so has it reached Cape Fair yet?

Cope Marine at Reeds Spring and Whites Marine at Pittsburgh are the two area dealers. I don’t know about the current situation but it used to be the case that Lunds weren’t ordered with a trailer. The trailer was ordered separately from a different company. If it were me I would ask them about buyers who live on the lake and don’t have a need for a trailer. Lots of people have trailers setting around with the boat in a slip.
-
Thanks for the info. I’m heading down there next week. I’ll have to give it a try.
-
That's interesting about the plastic. I've never really been able to catch bridge fish on plastics.
-
So I assume that you know that a lot of the coves especially up Lindley are covered with timber just under the surface like Haverstick, the Doc Bailey coves and Cooper’s Cove.
-
Why are you asking about them on a Crane Creek topic? Do you believe that they are in it?
-
I don’t know how far down the go. They go at least to the confluence of Crane and Spring Creeks because they come up Spring to our farm near Hurley. My information is old as I quit fishing for them a long time ago.
-
We normally have them in the bull pen in the slew in Bland Spring.
-
I have never sees a rattlesnake in Stone County. There are plenty of cottonmouths. Up around the Wire Road access there is public land and some below Crane. The rest is pretty much private.. There are several bridges where you can gain access (Swinging Bridge Road, Langley Ford, Doc Eaton Road).
-
Have you been to Pomme de Terre?
-
It has been up all year. It’s about 3’ high right now. I don’t normally go up there except spring and fall looking for whites and eyes. With the resurgence of whites at Pomme de Terre I may skip Stockton this fall. I need some fillets for the freezer.
-
Yes unless you change companies.
-
I never try to run the channel. I run the fields and can skirt the channel bends on the outside.
-
My thought is, it is a pita to switch companies. They have to shut off you gas and run some tests. That means redoing pilots and getting gas back into the lines. I did it one time. That was enough for me.
