Wading

[OzarkFishman]

I have been hitting any piece of Finley that I can wade the past 5 or 6 days. I found a few good places. One trip I caught 8 goggle-eye and 3 smallmouth (one being what would have been my personal best that quick released just feet from me ... chunk rock plus smallmouth equals broken line). Tonight, I hit the Finley and caught my personal best for the Ozark Bass. Most have been hitting on soft plastic. Some colors work better than others. I have picked up a few on a small jig.

On a different note: I repaired my neoprene waders with Hodgeman. It fixed a dime-sized hole in the crotch. No leak ... perfect.

Good Fishin,

How is the water below the dam at the park. I have not been out there in since the rain this past week. I am guessing from your post it is still wadeable.... "wadeable? Don't know if I can use that one in a scrabble game" Nice pic of the goggle.

Below the dam is good-to-go. It may be up an inch or so.
