Members Matt Tucker Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 What was supposed to be a weekend down on the White River ripping streamers on sink tips; ended up with St. Louis receiving a late March snow and the wild trout streams being blown out, and me and two friends on one of the private trout waters that Missouri has to offer. Private waters often find a way to spoil you; but in Missouri where crowds are often found during the spring and summer months; a nominal rod fee is an easy way to find some solitude. We showed up with 3wts, and quickly found out we may have been outgunned. Below are some of the photos from our day trip. --Matt Tucker Photo # 01 Evan Muskopf with the first of a handful of nice fish he landed today. Photo # 02 The reason we started carrying bigger nets. Photo # 03 The fly-fishing gods were smiling upon Evan today. Photo # 04 A successful release. Photo # 05 The obligatory fist bump. Photo # 06 Craig wanting in on the action. Photo # 07 Rock Star. Photo # 08 Another Release. =================================================== The pursuit of Ozark trout on the fly. http://www.OzarkChronicles.com =================================================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matt Tucker Posted March 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Matt, What were the fish takin' that day. Great report by the way. How many other anglers werer there? Later, FFM We caught fish on a variety of things. A wiggle stone that we use on the NFOW (yes, that big) and drifted without an indicator (on a 3wt....yes we were asking for trouble....but the water was up higher than we thought it would be), did ok for me most of the day. Small leech patterns did well as well. Walt Fulps was teaching some sort of class that day. I was hoping to meet Walt (I never have), but didn't run into him that I know of -- if i did, i wish he would have said hello. I think he had 7 guys in his class. We pretty much left them alone all day and fished the creek section of the property away from people. Cost I think was $50 or so to fish, didn't really pay attention. =================================================== The pursuit of Ozark trout on the fly. http://www.OzarkChronicles.com =================================================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
