NoLuck Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 It would appear that what we have been seeing on the cam with very little people has gotten the attention of the higher ups. Sooner or later it has to catch up to them. I begin to wonder if the people running the concessions want people to not catch bigger fish. That way they people would stick around longer and spend more money in the process. Hmmmm

Rodgers/Mitchell, or Mitchell/Rodgers. Who is leading who around by the nose ring? But I can tell you this for a fact, they have tried real hard to ruin a perfectly great trout stream.
upstream Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 What's up Pat , is it a secret or are you going to tell us. Can't wait to here a real report .
timsfly Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Fished Bennett today, lots of little fish, but they appeared to be healthy, they were mostly little 14" torpedoes, they fought well. Fished from the dam down to just below the hatchery outlet, caught most on a white Roaring River streamer, AKA gut imitation Tim Homesley 23387 st. hwy 112 Cassville, Mo 65625 Roaring River State park Tim's Fly Shop www.missouritrout.com/timsflyshop
FlyFishinFool Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Finally spoke with my friend who was down fishing last weekend (Fri-Sun). He and his buddies fished primarily Zone 2 from the outlet down to above the Whistle bridge. They found fishing was pretty tough Fri & Sat with warm weather and clear bluebird skies. On Sunday, with overcast and sprinkles, they hammered the fish. Caught tons of 12"-14" fish and several BIG keepers, including 2 lunkers. They fished both flyrods and spinning gear using black & yellow jigs and mini-jigs, light colored thread jigs, marabou jigs of various sizes, midges (mostly dark), glo-balls and a smattering of other flies and lures. Overall, with the great final day, they were happy with how the fishing went. * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time. Then I remember what an old man told me... " Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown, fuzzy, about 1/2 inch long and underwater."
NoLuck Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Headed down for a day trip on Saturday. Then it's off to KY for a couple weeks. Can't wait to wet a line.
rcguy Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Good Luck Rich!! I am dieing to go but I am going to wait unitl after June first when I am retired and can spend a few days down there. Sat. weather looks Ok.
NoLuck Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 The weather don't really matter too much . I've been working 7 days a week since March 4th, 10 hour days. I've driven close to 8000 miles in that time span. Needless to say, I could care less if it rains or the sun shines. Hope we can get together and fish this year.
