Opening Day

[binman]

Well we arrived saturday in the park at 9:30 am and got camp set up I just wanted to say for those of you who stayed in a tent should get a survival patch or something cause man it was cold!! We were fishing in zone 2 when the buzzer rang my hands were so cold I could not hardly cast but I did manage to catch 3 real nice trout with my biggest at 3.5 lbs and the smallest is probably 2lbs. We had 6 people in my group that braved the elements and we came back with 14 fish total so it was a cold but good morning well worth the trip.I did how ever notice on the way back to springfield this morning that there was a total of about 9 cars wrecked in the ditches and revines that small amount of ice we got last night sure made for some un safe road conditions.

The whole way out of cassville up until we got to 39 we was doing about 25-30 mph at most but sure got chilly bones still.Saw 3 eagles watched them for most of Saturday.I also did notice that campsites went up 2.00 dollars and I personally thought that we should have had a discount to the snow but that's niether here nor there. I heard on the radio this morning that there was a deadly crash so my prayers are with there family and to all that made it and had a safe trip home God Bless.

Yeah they showed up at 8:30-9:00 SAT night then took off in the morning to go fish down by the dam so I never saw what they caught but man it was tough to fish the line was so cold and wet it was freezing up in the bail so you could not even cast.All eye's on my rod were frozen plus had some ice on the rod it's self but I managed a good stringer.One of my buddies caught into a nice brown we got pics but I can't get them on here for some reason next time I see you I will show you.Also where was you at I told dad to call you and see if you was going to head down?
