Opening Day at Roaring River

[Steve Smith]

The best I can do on the dog situation is drop off some tacos for dinner from ole Mexico. If I'm real lucky, and don't end up in a Juarez jail, I might make it before the closing horn. They are forecasting sand storms with 60 MPH winds. That should be a challenge

Fly Smallie; I only sit in the truck when it's freezing, raining, or otherwise miserable outside. That is also where I store a cold brew or two, and a shot or two of snake bite cure. I know it is unlikely for snakes in the winter, but I need to be prepared. I guess you folks will have to make up for my absence.

Ah... just like a boy scout... ALWAYS prepared...

HEY Steve, those "snow snakes" are quite deadly, ya know!

[Steve Smith]

Terry; it's a medical fact that a shot of Knob Creek or Crown makes one immune to the snow snake's bite, but doses have to be frequently taken to insure proper protection from the venom. I told the wife that whiskey is needed to thaw my frozen fingers. She told me I had to have my fingers on the inside, not around the bottle. Spoiled sport. You guys enjoy the fishing, and remember to duck errant cast. Disinfecting a hook jab is a waste of good spirits.

[Whodat]

Been there done that. The hail woke me up at 4:00 then came the wind. Limited out though on the blue/green roostertail and then the rapala. Tag 047

Steve,

Keep the Knob Creek and pass the Crown Royal! Them there Cannucks shore knows how to make good whoooskey!

My wife makes sure Crown is on the grocery list... I LOVE my "Little Whiskey Girl!"

"She ain't into wine and roses

Beer just makes her turn up her nose

And, she can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne

No Cuervo Gold Margaritas

Just ain't enough good burn in tequila

She needs somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain

She's my little whiskey Girl

She's my little whiskey Girl

My Ragged-on-the-edges girl

Ah, but I like 'em rough"

Roaring River Special.

It's the train that runs from Cassville to Roaring River.

'Well look a-yonder comin'

Comin' on down the track

Well look a-yonder comin'

Comin' on down the track

It's the Roaring River Special

Bringin' my baby back"

Really, it's a wooly bugger tied on a jig head.

[snkrohn]

Thank you for the response. I'm glad it wasn't the train. I've never atempted to tie a train.

Any color recommendations/combinations?

[Terry Beeson]

Really?

I thought a Roaring River Special was as follows:

1 cooked biscuit

1/2 cup Vienna Sausage Gravy

1 scrambled egg

2 oz vodka

12 oz can of beer

Put above in a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.

Pour into a coffee thermos and drink through a straw.
