Members zonker Posted October 17, 2011 Members Posted October 17, 2011 A couple of wonderful days on the 11pt Thursday and Friday. Weather was perfect and the fish were certainly cooperating. Those bows are looking healthy, coloring up nicely, and have been eating well for quite some time. Brought to hand several nice ones, including two at 18+". A couple of pics attached. Can't wait to get back. Thanks again Brian for the shuttle. Go Cards! Out.
Justin Spencer Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Nice! Good to know there are still fish in that river "The problem with a politician’s quote on Facebook is you don’t know whether or not they really said it." –Abraham Lincoln Tales of an Ozark Campground Proprietor Dead Drift Fly Shop

Gavin Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Good for you! Floated Greer to Turner with Granny Ruth on Friday & and a bunch from Ozark Fly Fishers on Saturday. There were allot of people on the water both days but we caught enough to keep things interesting....Dozen on Friday, 22 on Saturday...best in the 16-17" range. Not bad for a bluebird day with lots of people on the water. Caught em on a wide range of stuff on Friday, but olive mohairs and eggs produced most of our fish this weekend. Cheers.
TroutRinger Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the report. Where did you get those huge dry bags from? "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy." "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot."
Members zonker Posted October 18, 2011 Author Members Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks for the report. Where did you get those huge dry bags from? TroutRinger, Those dry bags are what my Water Master rafts break down into, however, one can also be purchased without the raft.

The older is pushing 10 yrs. old and neither has needed repair to this point. Extremely well made. Many pros, including portability, durability, stability with a wide footprint and low profile, can haul alot of junk, and able to stand and cast whenever needed while the raft stays put. The only con that I can think of at the moment is the drag while rowing through long stretches of flat water....certainly won't cut through the water like a boat or canoe. Have used the WM on the 11pt, NFOW, Current, Niagua, Gasconade, & White River in the Ozarks. Roaring Fork & Arkansas in the Rockies. Would say it performed very well on all, except perhaps on the White. A larger craft works better on the really big water. A couple of pics attached of it handling some white water on the Arkansas.
