hoglaw Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Woke up this morning at 6 to a beautiful day and a beautiful girl beside me. Cool but not cold, cloudy but not rainy, breezy but not windy. Hopped in the car and drove down the pig trail, a drive worth driving for the ride alone. Got to turner bend at 8 or so - the Mulberry was at 4 feet. Floated 14 miles of EPIC whitewater and monstrous standing waves in two hours - flat. Made it through in one piece. Drove back to Fayetteville and had an old crow and ginger ale. Girlfriend went to a country concert on campus at the U of A, so I called a buddy, hooked up the flatbottom and headed to Oklahoma. Cloudy had become sunny. Cool had become warm. Breezy had become dead calm. Went to my favorite lake in Oklahoma and found only a few boats on the water. Caught a dozen bass including a 6lb largemouth and a 19 inch smallmouth. Saw a family of otters. Made it home, posted about the awesome day, about to snuggle up with beautiful girl and sleep in tomorrow. Doesn't get much better than that.

Anytime you catch a 6lb LMB and a 19" Smallmouth in 1 day is a great day! not to mention the beautiful woman! "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Brian K. Shaffer Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Sounds like an all around excellent day! Keep em coming .. all of them just like this one. A 6# largemouth and 19inch 'green trout' ?!?!... sounds you have a banner day! And seeing a family of otters is the icing on the cake in my opinion! Where abouts were you fishing ? Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
