Members Adam B Posted January 20, 2010 Members Posted January 20, 2010 Hello, I was wondering what an out of state 3 day pass and park pass costs here? I never really have fished here but I would like to go this Sunday since all the other waters seem to be running pretty high. Anything I need to know? Will it be crowded? Certain spots I need to fish or stay away from? Any certain flies I should bring? Thanks in advance for all the help! Adam
Zack Hoyt Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Adam, Tim;s the man with all the answers, but I will throw a few out there. We had really good luck on chamois San Juan Worms. Figure out about how deep they are in the water column and adjust your indicator accordingly.....or better yet just site cast to them. A cracklback skitted across the top of the water brought a few up in the shallower sections. Watch for midge hatches.....a spinner pattern works well when they are taking flies just below the surface. The normal wolie bugger or other sculpin imitation is good for larger fish. Don't discount the egg fly's as well.....Tim mentoned yellow was a good performer. The last few times I have been up there, the other anglers were scarce. Don't spend too much time at one hole and get a good feel for the park this round. You can always come back to holes later on in the day or on another trip.

Members Fishing Milwright Posted January 21, 2010 Members Posted January 21, 2010 Daily fishing permit $7.00 a day plus a trout permit $7.00 is required. There is no place to get permits at the park. Sportsmans Corner at the intersection of 112-76-86 sells them its just outside of Cassville toward the park about 4 miles north of the park.
timsfly Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I'm a little late on this conversation, but the guys told you right on everything. glo-balls, chamois and san juan worms, buggers(olive, brown, and black) have all been good. Caddis, blue wing olives, crackle backs, adams, and griffiths gnats have all been working. Copper johns, zebra midges, pheasant tails, burlaps, sow bugs, hares ears, brassies and about any small(#16) and smaller are working very well. Good luck.
