Ozark Trout Fisher Blog

ozark trout fisher responded o a post I made on another topic on this forun, I saw the website for his blog and clicked on it just to see. After reading some of his stories, and reading fishing reports from Phil Lilley, Bman, Bill Babler, and others, I think it's time I get the old flyrod out of the storage locker and start using it again. I was never a "Flyfisher", it was just another tool in my arsenal. Years ago I used to wade the Bourbeuse around the Hwy "B" bridge North of St.James. I had a ball catching goggle eye, bluegill, and an occasional largemouth bass on poping bugs and sponge spiders during the day. Fry up some gills & rock bass for dinner, and go out at night and gig some frogs to enjoy for breakfast. Now retired from a 43 year carrier as an electrician, I have time to get some waders and try my hand with the long rod in some of the wonderful, small, natural trout streams we have here in Missouri. Maybe learn a few tricks from Phil on fishing upper Taneycomo with a flyrod. Or take it with me on 4-wheeling trips to Sutton's Bluff to see if I can trick a few smallies in the Black River. Thanks ozark trout fisher, and others, for getting me into another recreational opportunity. Like I need it, with my other fishing, hunting, shooting, and 4-wheeling interests. And then there is the never ending "Honey-do" list. Oh well, I'll save that for when I need to get some rest, and stay at home!

I'm with you buddy. Ever since I found this site I've developed a hankerin' to learn to catch some brown trout. They sound like a really challenging species though, and I've still got my hands full trying to figure out smallies. I don't think I'll be able to resist much longer...I was looking at fly rods the other day. I'm gonna be in deep doodoo with the wife when she finds out I want to spend more money.

Appreciate the compliment.
