Sure, John... Be my guest.

If you check the vacuum cleaner bag for "interesting dubbing possibilities".... You might be a trout bum... If you keep your waders at the ready by your bed just in case a fishing buddy calls at 4 am.... You might be a trout bum... If you think a "stock tip" is the end part of your Bass Pro 5 wt.... You might be a trout bum... If your master bedroom is now your tying room.... You might be a trout bum... If you've ever cast a fly to a roadside ditch because "it looks promising" .... You might be a trout bum... If you trade your wife's car in for a '72 IH Scout.... You might be a trout bum... If the Corp/SWL generation information phone number is on your speed dial.... You might be a trout bum... If you have more fly boxes than your wife has pairs of shoes.... You might be a trout bum... If you have a designated parking space at a walk-in access.... You might be a trout bum... If your wife thinks Conclave is a business trip for you.... You might be a trout bum... If you ever got strange looks from women while shopping in the cosmetic or sewing section at Wal-Mart .... You might be a trout bum... If you've ever had a guide ask YOU to take HIM fishing .... You might be a trout bum...

Hello all... Some of you I know from John Wilson's forum, but for those who don't... Greetings! I live in Jonesboro, Arkansas and have been fly fishing for about 6 years now. I am this year's president of the NorthEast Arkansas Fly Fishers club. I fish mostly the Spring River, along with Bull Shoals and Norfork tailwaters. I just accepted a position with a company in Springfield, so Phil will be seeing me in front of his place a lot in the future... at least I HOPE so... I know a little about the Springfield area, but would like some advice/comments on relocating there. I have a step-daughter going into the 6th grade. I don't want to live IN Springfield, but want to be in an area with good schools for her. She also likes horseback riding and just bought a new (to her) horse to learn barrell racing and poles. Anyway... I've looked online at real estate and have seen possibilities outside Springfield within a half hour commute to the airport area. Any comments on areas to avoid, good schools, or anything else will help. You can post them here or email me at tbeeson (at) hotmail (dot) com Look forward to fishing with some of you... OH... and DuckyDoty... HEY NEIGHBOR!!!
