Steve Smith Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Great report Mr. Ducky. Spring break is about over so the park will clear out a little now until probably Memorial Day during the week. It will pack next weekend for Easter and the following weekend is the annual Dogwood Car Show. During the week is the best time to fish Roaring River this month if you can get there. There have also been some big some big hatches of mayfly and stones mid morning to early afternoon. Dry fly heaven! ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Members Tim Strunk Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 Fished 3/31-4/1 and had a great trip. Saw fish stacked up in places as thick as I have seen in the 15 years I have been there. Crowds weren't bad, especially on Sunday when it appeared most forgot that the start time moved to 7 a.m. from 7:30 previously. Made for a fun first 20 minutes. Caught fish all day with a Chamois worm, beaded Wooly Bugger, and Pheasant Tails producing the best. Best dry action was on a beetle (Thanks Tim), the fish were absolutely inhaling it at times. One of my best trips in years, can't wait to get back. Tim
