Here's mine!

Jerry.

When all else grab a lawn chair cooler and a dipnet and sit below the spillway .

[rcguy]

Sometimes I have felt just like doing that! At least before I learned about midges from you guys!

That box looks exactly like mine. I might have a few more green ones. Sometimes they love the right color green with black wire. Can't remember the Olive i use but

it's not the dark olive or yellow olive.

[NoLuck]

Probably just standard olive then Jerry. I'll just stock my box with brassies and glo-bugs this year. Of course ill modify the glo bugs with the hook turned out a little so the fish can get hooked an little easier. Maybe I'll even add a couple chamois bugs and pellet flys.

[rcguy]

Yeah, right!

[NoLuck]

I guess you don't believe me Jerry. That hurts....LOL

I fished an egg pattern a couple weeks ago. Does that count.?? It was good until the current went ballistic and the level came up about 6" in about 4 hours. If the water would have been a little more clear I would have tossed a flo pink brassie. It usually does pretty darn good in stained water.

[rcguy]

I remember when you told me about the Flo pink brassie's. I always carry a few for stained water. They worked great. I looks like this might be the year for Glo Balls and Pink Brassies if this rain doesn't stop. Actually that pic in my avitar is from one day I was catching the heck out of them on the Pink brassie. I have lots of glo balls but no true Florescent. They are not quite that bright.

[NoLuck]

You know Jerry I stumbled upon the flo pink brassie thing one day after a hard rain. I noticed a few worms being washed into the stream from that little creek down after the high bank hole. I didn't have any San Juan worms so I found that in my old stuff from way back. I put a good point on it with a file and caught a ton of fish that day.

With all this rain if it ever does clear up a little it will almost have to work pretty well. The campground where I'm getting a lot for my travel trailer may never get done at this rate. They are adding some new pads and I reserved one so when they get it done I have a nice new spot. Hopefully it will clear up so they can get it done before I get back there.

[rcguy]

Wow, you're going to really like having a spot and trailer there. No towing or anything. Will you have Elec., water, dump??

We had a lot at Truman for many years with a trailer your size. My son was practically raised down there. Sold it 11 years ago.

I still miss my home away from home. Where is the lot? I sure hope to make it to the reunion!!
