Kansas Fly Fisher Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Since my plans have changed and I can't go to the Sowbug this weekend we are planning a trip to Roaring River for some camping and fishing. Anyone else going to be there? I'll be staying in the campgrounds next to the fly only zone. We'll be in a slide-in camper on a Nissan Frontier. I'll be wearing an olive green vest with a olive green Tilley Hat. Hope to see some of you there. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM

CaptainT16 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 My father and I were talking about coming down, but think we are going to make the trek down there next weekend. Do you camp down there very often. It would be our first time fishing Roaring, usually go to Bennett or Taney. We were going to fish Roaring and then head to Taney the next day. Are their campgrounds usually pretty busy during the weekends? Hope you have a great time, let us know how you do.

Steve Smith Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Captain; I would suggest you reserve a campsite at 417 847 2539 or on-line at www.mostateparks.com. You may be okay, but I would reserve to make sure. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
CaptainT16 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Yeah, this is kind of what I figured. Looks like some good camping areas there. Pretty excited about fishing Roaring River. We might just fish Taney both days, too early to tell? Anyway we go I know will be a great time.

Kansas Fly Fisher Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 John Sorry you can't make it down to the bug! Dano So am I! My father and I were talking about coming down, but think we are going to make the trek down there next weekend. Do you camp down there very often. It would be our first time fishing Roaring, usually go to Bennett or Taney. We were going to fish Roaring and then head to Taney the next day. Are their campgrounds usually pretty busy during the weekends? Hope you have a great time, let us know how you do. We've stayed there a couple of times. Like you we usually go to Bennett or Taney. Our granddaughter is coming with us and I think Roaring River is a little better for the young ones. At least her age, 6 years old. I agree with Steve . . . make a reservation if at all possible. It can be busy on the weekends. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
Steve Smith Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 John; Roaring River would definitely be better for the grand daugther. They jusr installed a concrete ramp almost completely around the gate area. Perfect for handicapped and kids. Enjoy. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 Steve, I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements. The last time we were down was Kid's Day last year. We haven't missed a Kid's Day at Roaring River in the last three years. Look me up if you make it down. If Aspen's fishing (our granddaugheter) we'll be up by the store area. If it's just me, I'll be in the fly only zone. So, I guess to put it easier, we could be anywhere John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 Leaving for Roaring River in about 15 minutes! Yipeeeee! We're making a long weekend of it since the plans changed for going to the SowBug. Hope everyone attending the bug this year has a great time. Maybe next year! Anyone else is welcome to stop by my campsite and enjoy some coffee and story telling. We'll be in a black Nissian Frontier with a slide-in camper. Should be staying somewhere near the fly only zone. Look us up if your down. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
CaptainT16 Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Have fun, wish I was going down there this weekend, have to wait till next weekend though. Let us know how you do.
