Members Aaron Mills Posted November 10, 2010 Members Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've been thinking that I'd put a lot more stock in fishing reports when I saw a bad one. Well, I went out Sunday and waded above patrick. I got a new rod and wanted to throw some streamers. The CFS was about 300 and the sky was blue and clear. I'm sure the fish were a little spooky and the big hairy ugly crap i was throwing wasn't exactly subtle. My dad tried princes rubber legs and a caddis emerger. We were both skunked. I was suprised I didn't even move a single fish. It was an absolutely beautiful day, though. There were a ton of white caddis egg layers flying around and a good hatch of midges. I didn't really see many fish moving around at all. It was interesting to actually see the river structure at low water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danoinark Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 ...but it ain't about the catchin' right? The fact you were doing something you enjoyed and with your dad to boot outweighs it all in my book.

One of these days I will have the extra coin for gas and licenses and the time to just keep on trucking past Taney. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.

Justin Spencer Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I still haven't fished the White yet. One of these days I will have the extra coin for gas and licenses and the time to just keep on trucking past Taney. You may be thinking of the White in Arkansas, this is the NFoW in Missouri, no new licenses needed. Different style different results from tailwaters, if I put up all my bad fishing reports for this river no one would come here. Might not be a bad idea since I'm not a guide!

Trout Commander Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Doh! Yeah I never have been able to keep them straight, and haven't fished either. And yes I was referencing the AR licenses. I will have to do some research on public accesses down your way! I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.
