Yeah, the bigger ones seem to be more active...

Definately oneshot,

Cricket... you, me and wrench need to get together on the Niangua.

I aint braggin but if there is a big one in there I'll find his butt if he's on the feed at all.

Ask wrench...I have no problem being the locator and letting you guys catch em...most of the time I do my best to keep anything less than 15" or so off my line, I don't want to spook his mom or dad, lol

I'm down like a clown Charlie Brown.. Even got the (16ft, aluminum) transportation all ready to go.. (though I do want wrench to check over my little johnnyrude for me, seems like it only runs on "ultrarich")

When?

Maybe wrench and I should come up ad hit the current with you, get a feel for how you do what you do.. ? How about next Wednesday (here or there)? Wrench keeps missing me on Wednesdays, maybe if we plan one?

The leaves are falling like crazy around here now. Maybe this little high-water period will coincide with the tree dump, and flush them out with a quickness.

Awe, come on now, sourpuss....

We could get my buddies (Vette and Phat) to hold a sein net upstream from us all day.. :wink: It's possible.

[brownieman]

You'd be suprised how cheap them two can be bought.. Bwah haha ha

The third one, Solus Vero, he's a little tougher to pin down... But he'll work for peanuts too. lol

Vette

Until you can get a camera that works properly I still don't believe you know how to catch anything over 6 inches! lol neener neener

And Cricket, don't give me that sourpuss crap.....you've pussed out like 3 times in a row....Mr. Sushi eater, Crappie fisher, Flu getter !

I'm like Doc Holiday.... "Say When".

Hey man, sick is sick.. And a little freakin' notice would be nice! But I'm your huckleberry, I promise!

Funny though, I bailed on Vette this past wednesday because I was sick.. then Wrench calls me on that same afternoon and says he's headed to Bennett. So I "bail" on two fishing buddies over the same flu on the same day! And now they are both on here jibing me for it!

Spose I got it comin... lol

Boy, I got some catchin' up to do! I promise I'm not a total loser guys, i'll make it up to ya!

So, about them big Niangua Rainbows and Browns? What would you consider BIG? Largest I have ever caught was a 5 lber, and it was at the public access and was an obvious stocked trout, so I hardly want to count that...

However, this is a photo of the largest trout I caught on the open stream this year, it was a brown around 15 inches.. Slim, but healthy and very angry..

(and yes, I know I kinda had my finger in his gills.. He made it back into his hole just fine and I hooked him a week later...)

Other than that I have come across rainbows and browns in the 2- 3 1/2 range (18 to 22 inches) in the past, but very rarely. You guys?

If the weatherman is right it will get flushed out at the end of this week. I think the bigger fish tend to be where the aluminum hatch covers the water, once the cold flushes them out one can actually fish for them. That is if the giggers don't get them.
