Leonard Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 WHAT A DAY.... we got there just before 7am and had alittle time to look around and toss a fly a few times.. then to work we go.... Let me tell you... IT WAS WORK!!! we had somewhere between 85 to 100 people...ages ranging from 8 up to 70+ yr old... church group (thanks) school students (thanks) The City of Neosho provided lunch for everyone... (A big Thanks goes out to those guys!!) They even Jumped into the water with us.. Also a contract company was there to haul of the trash (trees, limbs, and trash).. A thanks to those guys too.. Also need to thnk Walt Phelps (Missouri trout hunters.com) for his and working with us in getting the word out.. Last I heard.. we gathered up 25+ bags of trash.. a muffler (from a car) a hood maybe a part of a door (from a car) a washing machine and a dryer drum hubcaps from cars, plus more.. we got close to maybe a 1 mile (total) of stream done.. It needs alot more work so we are planning another cleanup within a month or 2... I just want to say thanks to EVERYONE who had a part in the clean-up. Phil thanks for letting us use this website to promote the clean-up All-in-ALL a big success, I will post pictures soon... Leonard http://www.taneycomonights.com

DOITLOOKIT Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Leonard, Sorry I missed the cleanup. As a child I grew up learning how to fish on Hickory Creek back in the early 60's. Richard Brewer, who owns the monument company in Neosho is a dear friend of mine and we spent many hours on the creek. Let me know and I will see if Richard will join me. It would be great to remember those days with great memories. Back then the trout fishing was pretty good in the spring when they released them for trout opening day!!
