ness Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Way to make it personal, Chief. It's one thing to knock a stream, but you have, again, turned it into a personal attack. Like when you called me dick weed because you didn't like something I said. Time to act like an adult. John
Brian Wise Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 I will simply re-post what I posted last night....no personal jabs. I do however want to thank all of the people that have given positive feedback--yada yada yada...being civil here. Guys, seriously thank you for saying what you think, good or bad. I personally take no offense from anything that has been said and like I said above we didn't have to catch a fish to completely and thoroughly enjoy being on any given stream....I personally didn't enjoy Hickory either---I don't know if I would have put it as colorfuly as Matt did in the report but it isn't a stream I would pursue, if I lived closer maybe. I guess you can look at it this way, on this trip we take we see 20 trout streams (21 this year) and out of those 20 all of them have their own little thing that will catch you even if that stream is not your favorite....I will be the first to give Hickory Creek a "holy crap I can't believe how GIN CLEAR" the water is (the hole on the upstream side of the bridge in town and almost directly under the bridge is deep and you could count the rocks if you wanted to) which is seriously something cool to me considering it runs through a town. The purpose of this trip isn't to get intimate knowledge with every stream we fish and we for sure don't claim to be experts on any of them (minus the North Fork of the White and "expert" is probably a little steep on that one too ), it turns out after doing this trip now for 2 years we have a more intense appreciation for the the state as a WHOLE, the trout streams that we are lucky enough to have in this state are CRAZY AWESOME and stepping foot on all of the (except Stone Mill) in 4 or 5 days is one whale of a good time and I hope and pray that someone else decides to do this trip to maybe understand and physically see what we have gotten to see in the last 2 years. Thanks guys! Brian By the way, I was the one that fished Hickory Creek this year and I guess got my butt handed to me or something like that......I simply can't fish. Brian My Youtube Channel
ozark trout fisher Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I'm now feeling very sorry I piled on with this one... I disagree with calling any trout creek a dung hole personally but I do enjoy your blog, and I really like the videos. Keep it coming. It sure ain't a huge deal worthy of lengthy personal attacks.

Like when you called me dick weed because you didn't like something I said. Time to act like an adult. After reading many of his attacks. I feel I have a pretty good idea about how much I would enjoy an evening with him also. But I could be wrong it is just an impression after all. Thanks for the Vids guys you do a great job.

drew03cmc Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Way to make it personal, Chief. It's one thing to knock a stream, but you have, again, turned it into a personal attack. Like when you called me dick weed because you didn't like something I said. Time to act like an adult. You have attacked Chief on at least one occasion, so I don't see how you have a leg to stand on in this dispute, but that is neither here nor there. I know Chief personally and he is one of the most conservation minded individuals I have ever met, and while brash at times, one of the most genuine good guys I know. I feel that calling a stream what it has been called is nothing short of calling those that spend their time doing conservation work to improve the stream in all aspects the same names. These guys spend their free time, time that could be spent fishing, cleaning up Hickory Creek and to hear from someone from St. Louis that the creek is a ____hole, is a slap in the face. I wouldn't expect them to be happy about it, but rather to be a little p'd off by it. Andy
Paola Cat Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 This thread started out killer .... it's a pointless thread now .... but ya gotta admit it's funny to read at least once. I ate at a restaurant in St. Louis a few months back ... it was a real ___hole. I probably won't go back ... I hope nobody's offended. Anybody got my back? PC Cheers. PC
ozark trout fisher Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 It's just not that darn big of a deal though... It just makes you all sound like really angry folks. When someone says something you disagree with, it just has to be a huge fight.
drew03cmc Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I have contributed to the foolishness, but just to let my feelings known about the blog post. I suppose it has gone too far, so I retract the barbs that came from my side. Andy
