Flatbottom Boy Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Hey all I'm new to the forum and thought I should introduce myself. Just moving down here recently from Alaska and looking forward to do some "normal" fishing again. Not really familiar with the area and the awesome people on the forum up in AK really got me started on the right foot, so I thought I'd better give this one a try too. I look forward to everyone's input and hope that I can return the favor down the road. Take care and God bless.
Trout Commander Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Fat bottom girls make the world go ' round... Welcome aboard! What sorts of fishing did you do in Alaska? One of the regulars on here guides in Alaska part of the year. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.

One of the regulars on here guides in Alaska part of the year. Trout Commander, I tried some of everything. I fished the interior for trout and grayling on the fly to the Kenai for Salmon and big rainbows (not real successful on the "big" rainbows). We tried to get out as much as we could for Halibut, but I didn't have the resources to do it on my own so we chartered a half dozen times. I learned alot and had some of the best times, but I was looking forward to getting closer to home and fishing/hunting like I did growing up. I just need to find some duck waters and I'll be set.... The fishing seems to be all around though, I'm lovin it.

If you look through his posts I am sure you could find some places. His screen name is DuckyDoty. And, you are right there are all sorts of fishing opportunities around this part of the country. Where are you located now? 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
duckydoty Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Welcome to the forum. Again, where you residing now? I'll be back up north for the summer, but ready to kill some ducks when I get back in the Fall. If your close to Branson, I will be more than happy to take you out and show you some fun around here.

I'm in the Waynesville area right now, but driving a couple hours for some fun is never a problem for me. Where do you guide from up in AK?

Where are you located now? I'm in Waynesville near base. I've done a little driving around and trying to scout some areas, but I'm gonna be hitting it pretty hard here in the near future now that I've added a small boat to my inventory. Where are you from, and what kind of fishing do you do around here?

Where are you from, and what kind of fishing do you do around here? I live in Springfield. I fly fish mostly for trout now. Taneycomo in Branson is always good to hit because of it's proximity but, my favorite river is the North Fork of the White River. I don't have a boat or canoe/kayak so I wade fish. I also like chasing bass on the fly wherever I can. 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
