RSBreth Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Finley is up, actually over what is the winter low water flow. They closed the gate at the Ozark mill dam a couple of weeks ago, now it's full. Good winter fishing ahead.
pvspmo Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Here are a couple of pics from yesterday on the Upper Finley. Did not catch any fish, but it sure was a good day to try my new boots that Michael sold me. Also a nice quiet day to relearn how to cast a fly rod. It's only been about 10 years. Lots of rust gathers in that amount of time pat

Terry Beeson Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I would think the water temp would need to climb a bit before fishing the Finley would be productive. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course. What stretch is that, pvspmo?

pvspmo Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 That is downstream from Braden Rd. out by Brunner. I used to fish it years ago and do pretty well(later in the year). I knew it was early for catching, but I only live about 5 minutes from there and I knew I could practice my casting with no interuptions. Makes for a peaceful few hours by yourself this time of year... not too mention it sure is pretty. The only thing I heard while out there was the sound of the ice falling from the bluff(and my line snapping on the water during my backcast) I guess it will take some time for my casting abilities to come back. I hope that happens before the fish start biting! pat
Terry Beeson Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Sounds like a place I need to check out... Never been that far upstream on the Finley... Of course, I've only lived here 9 months...

pvspmo Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 When the water warms up lets go! I'll take you there and you can catch the fish and I'll take the pictures. I think I am better with the camera than my flyrod. pat
