MrDucky Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Howdy all . Well today i had to work (got called in out 1:30 am last night , and today was a schedule day off) . So about 2:00 today i decided to check Jolly Mill park out . It is a awesome place , Very clean water and alot of historic things to see and read This I think is the main water way here at the park This Photo is of the old dam , there were a couple of big fish in the run off , If you can wade there with a fly rod you could have a blast This photo is of the mill , It runs once a month on a Saturday it would be super cool to see . The rest is down stream of the mill . I fished there with not alot of luck This picture is pointing up stream towards the old dam So very sorry for the crappy pictures , not sure whats wrong with it This picture is from the old bridge pointing again towards the old dam , That bridge really makes alot of noise when you walk on it This picture is pointing down stream from old creeky bridge , I and an other fella fished down under the bridge u see in this photo Okay now the fishing Report , these 2 fish were caught using a salmon egg . The bigger one seemed to be around 14 inches or so . I used my fly rod for a bit with a red San Jaun . a couple of strikes but not really any takes on it . I switched to a midge and caught 1 about a 7 inch . It was extremely cold and hard to cast with frozen eye lids on my rod and my EYES . I then switched to my spinning rod and power bait , caught another mayby 8 inch . All in all it was fun and i do think its a great place to fish , Waders would be very helpfull and probally a little warmer aswell anyways hope i didnt bore you all with this Mr Ducky Yikes!!!

Steve Smith Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Great report Ducky and pictures. It looks like Mrs D will finally have some fresh fish for dinner. I've tried Jolly Mills [Capps] a couple of times and basically struck out on anything over six inches. I just figured folks cleaned it out right after the stocking truck left. I'll have to give it another shot sometime. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
