Steve Smith Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 At Roaring River, some of us local folks will be down by the old dam in the Fly Only Zone with biscuits and sausage gravy at 7 AM this Friday morning for the opener. We’ll have bowls, napkins, salt & pepper, and utensils. There will be plenty to eat for anyone that wants to come down and join us… just let me know with a PM. All you have to bring is an appetite and something to drink. If it’s raining or threatening rain, we’ll switch to one of the shelters in the trophy area. Anyone from the OAF that will be in the park is welcome to join us. Look for a cream color Explorer with “OGRAT1” plates in campground #3. I stopped down by Roaring River Park at lunch time today and the water is low and really clear with the lack of rain. There are a lot of stockers right now in the upper end, and I will check out the lower fly only zone tomorrow and report. I didn’t see many brooders like last year when construction was being done on the hatchery. Of course, they may release some big bruisers tomorrow… don’t know. The water is really low along with flow, so the leaves are thick and stagnant on the water. Light 6 – 7X tippets and the aggravation of hooking leaves will be a given. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Terry Beeson Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Dang, Steve... what a bribe! If I didn't have to work... Do you deliver? To Springfield? (I know now what I'm havin' for breakfast Saturday mornin'...) Hope you have a great time!!

Steve Smith Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 Terry; after slaving over a hot stove makin' [canned] biscuits and sausage gravy Friday morning, I don't think I'll have the strength to deliver. Seriously, if you can make it, I'm sure we would enjoy your company. I can't make homemade biscuits, but I can throw together some mean gravy that makes up for it. You can use it for construction glue to build a house. It must be good 'cause there never any left, and that's a good thing. The last thing I want is for that stuff to setup in the skillet. Tell the boss you have to visit Dr Smith. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 8, 2006 Root Admin Posted November 8, 2006 How long will you serve? I may talk Marsha into a nice drive Friday morning but I know it won't be a 7 am arrival.
Terry Beeson Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I can't make homemade biscuits... Great Value brand or Pillsbury brand frozen biscuits... more expensive than canned, but dang near as good or better than homemade... for real... But then again... beggers can't be choosy.... but I can throw together some mean gravy that makes up for it. You can use it for construction glue to build a house. Just like Momma use to make.... Dang... Now you're gonna make me cry...

Steve Smith Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 Phil; the horn goes off at 8:00 sharp, so I would guess 7:45 or so. Stop in if you're around ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
gonefishin Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Momma's gravey...just like homemade...Ohh yeah, wheres the lumps? Giving away my age I reckon. Heh heh I really enjoy good gravey, but never did acquire a taste for gravey with the dumplings made right in it. I would rather be fishin'.

Danoinark Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Steve are you going to stick around and fish or do you have to get on to work? Dan Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Steve Smith Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 Dano; I'm fishin' man. I put in for vacation that day months ago. There will be a couple of friends with me, and Tim Homesley from Tim's Fly Shop maybe. Well, Tim's a friend too, but he may be heading for Taneycomo for a while that morning. He's been catching some nice fish, and I mean lots of them. When he says he caught 30 -40 fish on Taney, it's the truth because I've seen him do it too many times. He's been helping me do better on Taney, but he's got that sixth sense. Come on down if you can. Gonefishin'; my gravy ain't got no lumps, but it will stick to the walls. It'll do the same in your belly. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Danoinark Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Steve I am sure considering it. Thanks for the invite. I will let you know for sure tomorrow sometime. Are you going over to Taney with Tim later? I shop Tim's store when I am up that way. He is a nice gent, Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
