Nortrad Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Weather wasn't as warm as I had figured, and got a late start, so, every place was filled with anglers. Guess everyone had the same idea. Tried above Tan Vat and got a pretty 'bow with a smaller Pig Sticker variation. Also landed a stocked brown on a midge. Moved down to Parker and fished a nice stretch that has produced in the past, not this day, only managed another planter brown. Moved back to Tan Vat and had lunch, then hit the trail downstream to 'The Wall' and the nice turn/dead fall below it. Landed a nice rainbow. Switching flies produced this beautiful brown that measured from the top of cork to my first set of guides. This fish gave a great fight and was a great catch to finish out the year. The fly in the pic is a variation of a pattern from a tier from the state of CO whose initials are CC...heh heh. Happy New Year and I hope all your fishing days in 2012 are memorable.

ozark trout fisher Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 How did you do on the Meramec ozark? Not too awful bad I guess... I got into a whole bunch of stocking size rainbows, not much else though.
