laker67 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Those decisions will be made more than the MDC is banking on, I am sure of it. The expense of new boots is going to set me back a C-Note and that is money I could put elsewhere, however, I enjoy our wild trout. Hey Drew, to offset that C note, you might fish for some of them feral trout as well. You might even like catching a few of them. They look just like the wild but only bigger.
drew03cmc Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I love catching our wild trout, but the stocker holdovers are just as fun or as hard to get to. Where would you recommend Laker? Andy
laker67 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I love catching our wild trout, but the stocker holdovers are just as fun or as hard to get to. Where would you recommend Laker? RR is probably the closest to you and always fishes good. Plus you could always fall back on the shadow bass water that you and Chief fish. Montauk would be second choice with a the upper current as backup. If you get close to bssp or meramec, just turn your head and keep going.
drew03cmc Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Yep. I could probably hit Roaring River in about 4 hours from home, per Mapquest, however, speed limits are for schmucks. The problem with the shadow bass water is that it is a warmwater fishery. I would figure a 3wt fly rod would be ideal on that water, however, this time of year, I don't know if it is a feasible option. Perhaps I should try RR rather than Crane in a week and a half or so...

Flysmallie Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Perhaps I should try RR rather than Crane in a week and a half or so... You could always do both, not that far apart. Â Â
drew03cmc Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I know that. They are about 40 minutes apart or so. I could also hit Crane, then on the way home hit Capps...They aren't that far apart and I can run down 60 to 71 and head home. Andy
Al Agnew Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Well, I just bought a pair of Hodgmans with the soft rubber soles, cost $80. I think it was Ron Kruger who said they were the best he had tried for slick rocks other than felt but that they wore out pretty quickly. I figure that I don't fish the MO trout waters all that much so they should last me a couple-three years used only in MO...I'll keep using my old felts in Montana, since as many anglers as fish these MT streams from all over the country, if they haven't been choked with didymo by now I don't think it's gonna happen...although MT is talking about a felt ban, too.
drew03cmc Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I bought some Korkers so I can be set for anywhere I go. The boots came with a rubber sole and a studded rubber sole. Andy
Wayne SW/MO Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 You're kind of all over the place OB. Rapidly over several continents? Dead in 48 hours or several weeks? ?? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Outside Bend Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 You're kind of all over the place OB. Rapidly over several continents? Dead in 48 hours or several weeks? ?? Not sure how. In two decades the diatom has been spread from its native range to systems throughout North America, Asia, South America and New Zealand. I'd call that rapid transmission. If you take no measures to treat gear, it's possible for viable didymo cells to persist for weeks or even months. If you freeze your gear, or heat your gear, or disinfect your gear, It may only take hours or minutes for those didymo cells to be killed. It's not that I'm all over the place. It's that, not surprisingly- different treatments have varying levels of efficacy. <{{{><
