Members Stu675 Posted January 28, 2013 Members Posted January 28, 2013 So I dont post here much, but I figured I would post up my trip from Friday. I drove down early in the morning from Kansas City, which is like a 3 hour drive. Started down by the spring, and after getting the useless pre made leader I for some reason used, fishing began. All day I just used #20 - #18 sized white dry mayflies. The morning started slow, I worked my way down the stream and on the other side of the small dam, found the place to be, I caught 4 or 5 fish in that area. park was pretty empty till about 10am when the weather started to warm up and it ended up being a very beautiful day. I am typically not big into fishing the parks since they are usually just over packed with people and I am a loner when I fish, but it was very peaceful out there and once my new furl leaders come in I will be going back down.
duckydoty Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Sounds like you had a great day. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Wayne SW/MO Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 It can be nice in the winter. The first time I fished it in winter was the first season and we were already in the area. There was a 4-6" snow and my son and I had it all to ourselves that day. At that time fishing was Fri.-Sun. and the hatchery wanted to save money on food and they loaded the stream up. The spring hole looked like one of the hatchery runs. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
rcguy Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Sounds like a good day. I like the winter and usually head down 2 or 3 times a winter from Kansas City. Usually just a 1 day affair. It's usually very peacefull. You're going to love a furled leader if you haven't used one. I like these : http://thesimontons.com/ModelsandPrices.html I use the thread ones but I see htey have some new ones. Good people and a great price.

I usually make my own out of mono and flouro, but I got a contact her name is Joni, and gets talked highly over on the flyfishingforums. and her pricing is awesome. Basically got 3 leaders for 16 bucks for my first purchase. But this will be my first time using them, so can not wait. I also made the mistake of going into KK fly shop over by me in Overland Park, ended up leaving with a new Hardy DD black edition haha
rcguy Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I live in western Shawnee so Cabela's is where I end up spending money!

Members Stu675 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Members Posted January 29, 2013 I live down in Leawood/Overland Park area and kk fly shop is off 87th, I try to support little shops like that rather than Cabelas or Bass Pro, especially since their pricing seems to match everyone elses which is nice.
NoLuck Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Jerry just think if you lived in St.Louis. 2 of the best flyshops I've seen yet. Talk about trying to not spend money.
