Cow In The River

[yaknar]

Kayaked down to Shelvin Rock this week. Had a nice float. No one else on the river. Topwater was working until around 1:30. The cat surprised me. I caught him on a 1/4 oz inline spinner. There were two places on the river, where there was about 7 - 9 cows in both places. Does anyone think it effects your fishing down stream with them pissing in the river? I guess its called fishing in the Ozarks. The smallmouth were sucking down my swimbait, I had to cut the line on two. Just before you get to Shelvin there is a tree across the river, no problem getting around it.

There's a lot of cows in the river down below Galena too. Doesn't seem to affect this fishing but it's nasty. Some pretty good gravel bars down there covered in patties.

So, what's your fave 1/4 inline? I tend to prefer the Mepps Aglia dressed in either Silver Black or Silver White. They've produced in the past for me.

As for cows, all I can say is yuck...., especially in the rain when the water carries it downstream.

Those are my favorite.

No but they make a nice fire to roast marshmallows over.

My favorite 1/4 inline spinners are Joe's Flies. I have tried Mepps and Rooster Tails. I just like the way the flies look, the trailing treble hook, and have confidence in them.

Yeah.....let's do all that next time we're down there.
