Annual One Fly Competition

Is there a good site with details on location, map of the river that you all use?

I must confess, I know very little about the fishery, just what I've read on the forum.

The only map I know of is on the oklahoma wildlife department web site under the fishing link then they have a link of maps under trout areas.

Here is a picture of the Lower Illinois map. This fishery is about an hour away from my house. It is an OK fishery but it doesn't hold a candle to Taney, White or Norfork. It does, however, satisfy the need to wet a line. The challenge is that you have to catch the fish before the striper can get to them. As Chance mentioned in one of his posts, sometimes you even have to keep them away from the stripers when you have them on your hook. This is a mostly Rainbow stocked fishery with a few Browns. It is recovering from the last big summer rainy season, that we had a few years ago, that resulted in killing all of the Trout in the fishery.
