Greg Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 The family and I were in Branson this weekend. On Sun they were running water on Taney so....... We packed up and headed to the White today. Fished the Wildkat Shoals area for the 1st time. Very nice area. Not many people out today. We were there 4 or 5 hours and I probably picked up 25 or 30 on a variety of flies. All rainbows. Nothing big but some decent 14/15" fish. Unfortunately it was VERY windy. So my wife and son were having a tough time casting. They managed a few too though. Stopped at the Mountain River Fly shop on the way. Chatted with Steve Dally for a bit before heading to the river. Michael - if you see this - were you on the White today by chance? I saw a BCO truck in the parking lot at Wildkat shoals. If so how did you do?

Micheal Kyle Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Yes it was a myself and my wife with a buddy Barry. Very windy had a great float down to Cotter. Kristina caught 51 fish and we had over 100 fish to the boat between the 3 of us so yes she kicked our butts. Great stripping streamers the good old 56er and a type 3 full sink fly line.

Michael The last time that I talked with you, you told me that you were wanting to take Kristina to RB so that she could learn to fish streamers. Maybe she doesn't need as much "learning" as you were thinking. Way to go Kristina! Glad you all had a good day.
Micheal Kyle Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Yep she had a great day she deserves it, SInce she gets to fish about 1/5 of the time I do. I still want to get her down there to Rb She would love it To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!
Terry Beeson Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Kristina caught 51 fish... so yes she kicked our butts.... And what's so unusual about that? She usually DOES!! You only take her 1/5th of the time because she catches FIVE TIMES the fish you do... and they are all BIGGER than your fish... (Oh... btw... the secret's out now... ) And HEY... .I was in the shop Friday and ERIC WAS ACTUALLY WORKING!!!!! FO SHIZZLE!!!!!! (I'll be by the shop to pick up that $10 Eric...)

Greg Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 It was good visiting with you today Michael and thanks for the fly recipe for the 56er. Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell
