ruthead Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Guess nobody went!! "Pretty soon we may not have any rights left because it might infringe on someone's rights"
Members fishbobber Posted March 3, 2011 Members Posted March 3, 2011 Guess nobody went!! tough fishing, water up and murky. very few fish and what was caught was in the 8"-10" range....hard to figure when we went to the 4 limit and the trout just keep getting smaller. I guess budget cuts everywhere!
FishinCricket Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Plenty of fish in the water (though decidedly smaller), they just had their noses to the stream bed... Once you bounce a jig or run a swimmer past their noses they'd give chase and take a swat at it... If it looked enticing... I ended up with over 20 yesterday... 10 above (or on) the dam on a grey/denim 1/16th oz maribou, the rest while I was hog hunting "Pete's Blue Pipe Hole" in zone two... I fell in, too...

Trout Commander Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks for the report Cricket but give us a heads up the next time your going to sneak your Ugly Stik into a picture like that See any lunkers? 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
mhall02 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I think I'm going to give it a try tomorrow afternoon if the rain isn't too bad. Thought I would try the traditional white 1/32 or 1/16 jig in zone 1., gotta go deep and heavy I guess?

flyfishmaster Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Cricket, By The looks of your picture, it appears the Rapala tore a real nice hole in your net. So did you catch the fish in the back or what. Ugly Stik... that's not the rod I was training you on the other year. Later, FFM Woo Hoo Fish On!!

But I do need a nice one... lol And it's a bit difficult to pitch the x-raps and such with a fly rod... cricket.c21.com
mhall02 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Did make it down to Zone 1 from about 2:p.m - 4:30 p.m. and man it was slow. Caught two winter leftovers that were small and skinny, kept them anyway and had one get off. A few other hits and that was it. Beautiful day, wouldn't have missed it for the world but hit some nice storms on the way back up to the St. Louis area.
