I dunno, Bill... sounds to me like you should check into the B&B for a night just to get breakfast....

Doobies... Piano player Michael McDonald had some really good hits when he went solo... Duh... well... uh... could it be... Van Halen? The techniques and "stuff" Eddie used to play his guitars are the stuff of legend. He kept a lot of it secret... But some AWESOME guitar sounds came out of that... Speaking of Boston, I was neighbors with a guy who played drums in a band who toured a bit with Boston when they were just starting to make it big. He told me some stories of those days that would curl your hair... I haven't heard from him in years, but I know he was close to Brad in those days...

JD, I was shown that a couple of years ago by a fellow from Pennsylvania. It worked well with some kids about 6-8 inches above a San Juan Worm on Dry Run Creek... Since it has worked for a bigger kid on occasion in the Norfork and Bull Shoals tailwaters...

Will you autograph a copy for me and save it for me Your Honor Mr. Kyle Esquire sir? Oh... and do you deliver?

How's your casting? If you are a "good" caster, I'm sure you would like the pro. But before you buy, I'd take one out and give it a wave or two in the parking lot...

RICH! DON'T DO IT, MAN! SAVE YOURSELF! (Hope to see you down there...) Uh... did I say that?

Slow Ride or Fool for the City? Or that other song that I will not name here because SOME people might think I'm propositioning them... SHEESH! May have to throw a little "Tom Petty" in there for good measure...

Oh yeah? Well Skaggs Community Hospital was voted... Oh... never mind...

Hmmmm... Ronnie.... sounds like a "Seinfeld" episode.... Michael Kyle, The Fly Nazi! - "NO DUBBING FOR YOU!!!!" Anyone going down 160 between Springfield and Nixa look for Mr Ducky's seafoam green Taurus (?) at the "Hot Spot" C-store on the northwest corner at FR 182. Stop in and tell him to get his butt back on here!!!!

Speaking of gaseous fumes... anybody heard anything from Mr Ducky and also LMW? The levels of E. Coli, salmonella, sulfuric acid, phosphates, methane gas, cow manure, radioactive alien sewage, and cooties in Taneycomo have risen to levels making mandatory evacuation of the whole area above Fall Creek necessary. Anyone seen close to the water with any fishing tackle will be shot by Army Special Forces snipers located at various strategic locations along the banks... STAY AWAY FROM TANEYCOMO AT ALL COSTS!!!! Hey Ducky... forget Hank Jr.... I'm playin' Bob Seager... "Down on Main Streeeeeeeet!!!"

No need, Duane... I already know you want Hank Jr....

TC... you took the words right outta my mawf!!!... Besides... there's the Giant Man-Eating Taneycomo Killer Squid to deal with... not to mention bears... All the fish in Taney died... yeah... that's it... THAT'S the ticket!... They all died! From toxic fumes in the water... They all died... I swar-ta god they did... You can't fish in a lake that doesn't have any fish in it... it's state law... I swar-ta god it is....

Sometimes all that smoke is from that "oregano"... I just hope he doesn't spill a drop of A1 Sauce on the grill... (If you haven't seen the commercial, you won't get that joke...)

...and autograph each copy and charge $10 extra... Hey Rich... Michael: [fishing] "I had fished Taney for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours." [he stops and turns around] Young Man Fishing: "Quiet, quiet! He's gonna say something!" Michael: [pause] "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now." ********************************** Michael talking about Taneycomo trout: "Anyways, like I was sayin', trout is the fruit of Taneycomo. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, trout-kabobs, trout creole, trout gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple trout, lemon trout, coconut trout, pepper trout, trout soup, trout stew, trout salad, trout and potatoes, trout burger, trout sandwich. That- that's about it." *********************************** "Life is like a box of flies... you never know what you're gonna get..."

I guess that means a trip to the honey hole... There is a rumor that I just started that Taney will be closed to fishing for the next 6 months from dusk to dawn... They will be spraying toxic fumes and driving all the fish down to Powersite... It's true, I swear to god it is... They have to do it... it's state law, man... (kudos to Donnie Baker...)

Does this mean I have to supply the background music for Friday night? Molly Hatchet is in the CD player of the Dodge as we speak...

Yeah... I'm getting to be afraid of drivers who are BBQing while behind the wheel going down the freeway!!! They do everything else while driving...

... mixed with power bait...

Who is this "Mr. Kyle" you speak of? I'll have to pick up a copy...

GF, While those fumes are toxic, in many cases it is the lack of oxygen and burning of the lung tissue from the heat of the smoke that causes death... wood, charcoal, or whatever.

Should I tell him, Leonard.. or do you want to?

CAN it kill you? Yes... Ever hear of someone dying in a house fire due to "smoke inhalation?" WILL it kill you? Only time will tell... My advice, quit sprinkling that "special" oregano on the charcoal...

I don't think you were joking, GF... I'll argue with you on that one..

Al, Excellent explanation...

The White system (as well as other similar systems) have had the foursome (Bows, Browns, Cutts, and Brookies) co-existing for a long time. The world record brown is from the Little Red. The one before it, the Norfork... and you can catch world class bows and browns in any White tailwater...
