Members Old Stumbler Posted October 21, 2006 Members Posted October 21, 2006 I spend a lot of time reading the posts and have met a lot of you. With the help of my wife Pam and fishing partner I was able to negotiate this technology hurdle and am now able to visit a bit. We have fished for a long time and have adopted fly fishing as our favorite old folks pastime. I am a retired teacher and with a part time job. I have been doing some night fishing and thus doing a lot of stumbling around at Tanycomo down by the Dam in the dark. Thus the name Old Stumbler. I ran into Leonard last night and met his father. That is a great thing to take your Dad fishing. My wife and I are members of the MTFA and are regulars at Back Country Outfitters. I'm keeping Michael in business. Well I won't dominate your time. Keep your batteries fresh and the line tight. Thanks to the young man who helped me jump my pickup battery about 11 pm last night. Must find out whats causing that. Catch a few and enjoy the moment. I hate those "toe stumblin" rocks!!!
Danoinark Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Stumbler I don't know if I ran into you are not. I did come up the stairs at outlet 2 about that time with a gentleman and we both commented on our hips and backs .. was that you. Were you in a small white or creme colored pickup? If so that was me parked next to you. Also I left before you did and if you couldn't get it started then I wish I had stuck around. You know that is a good idea and I try to do that sometime when people are leaving when I do. I would hate to think someone got stranded down there and no one around. Anyway welcome to the forum and hope to see you on the river one of these days. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Members Old Stumbler Posted October 22, 2006 Author Members Posted October 22, 2006 Well I fished from 12 noon till about 11 P.M on Friday and I was getting pretty tired. I had not sat down the entire time. I would have stayed longer but I still had to drive an hour back to Springfield. I drive a green quad cab Silverado with a bed cover on it. I even had to get it jumped when I was ready to leave. A young man from Dardenele (sp?) Ark. helped me get going with a jump from his truck.Thanks again. I caught a few browns that evening on a black bunny strip. Seems they would pick it up when I was letting it just sit on the bottom. When do the browns start to slack off on spawning? Well I have re-rigged and I am ready to try again soon. I hate those "toe stumblin" rocks!!!
Terry Beeson Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Welcome to the forum Old Stumbler... (dang... that should have been MY screen name.... ) Oh... and it's Dardanelle... That's near "back home" for me. And home of John Daly for you golf fans... And, if you're a John Wayne fan, you might remember in True Grit that "Baby Sister" Matty was from "Dardanelle in Yell County..."
