Members Jeff Hearn Posted January 4, 2011 Members Posted January 4, 2011 A little scruffy one for tomorrow somewhere in the mid-river
gotmuddy Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 This probably doesn't help you but I did good on triple olive zigjigs today around norfork everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
taxidermist Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 With the low low water. they fish are hitting everything, to include suckers hitting rapalas.
gotmuddy Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 If your in a power boat and are unfamiliar with the river be very careful, there are lots of places you just cannot go without a jet, and even some you cant go with a jet. If you launch at buffalo city forget going up the shoals. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
Terry Beeson Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Nice tie, Jeff... Good luck with it!

Members Jeff Hearn Posted January 5, 2011 Author Members Posted January 5, 2011 The water was off and eventually fell out......The place wasn't ready to fish as the water was too high......Went up on the flats above Dew Eddy......Fishing was a little slow at first but really picked up about 1:30......Fished 'til 1620 with a large number touched.......All Bows with a couple of 18's.....Broke in the Greys 11' 3 weight and love it.....It mends really well and can move alot of line indie fishing......caught all the fish on one fly.....a small french nymph on an 18 2499 SPBL........Lot of Bows were dark males to almost black.....A great first trip in 2011......The Czech was just too heavy for this area.....Maybe Friday Shooter
Trout Commander Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Nice tie indeed! Glad to hear you had a successful trip. However, we need more pics Jeff, of the fish French nymph, but especially of the Greys! I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.

I am trying to learn/use the itsy bitsys also. I don't have quite the presentation and mending capabilities as you do though, with my 7'6" 4wt. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
