I don't think either of them will resort to that.  You don't mean enough to them to break anything.   You give yourself too much credit.  Carry on.

I don't care. Haven't you figured that out yet? C'mon man, you have to be smarter that this.

I'm devastated......Not really.

On a side note if a guy wants to shoot a bunch of Asian carp from shore I can point you in the right direction. 

Downstream of the barge by the Lewis and Clark Boathouse on the MO River there about a 100 of them in there milling around.  Where the drainage canal from Creve Coeur Lake runs under 364 there are hundreds under there too.  Both could be shot from the bank.

Regarding the title of this thread..

This guy (from Denmark I believe) has a youtube channel with some really cool fly tying videos and fishing techniques. While the flies or types of fishing may not directly relate to the ozarks area, there are definitely some tips to be gained! Here is a pretty interesting video about him catching big searun trout on dries:

    Congratulations to the winners!  They have taken out some invasive non native species. Well done. Yes some native buffalo too and I am sure the Wisconsin fisheries people have a hand on the impact and know if it has a negative impact on the native fish. The economical impact of such a tourney has to be good for the economy. Lets see 104 decked out bow fishing boats plus trailers and a nice tricked out truck to haul it. Two man teams? That would equal 208 rigged bow fishing set ups. The days of an old throw around recurve and a Zebco 808 taped on are gone. Got to do it right nowadays. So all these guys plus the media and sponsors need to eat and lodge while attending. That would be a nice shot in the arm to the state of Wisconsin !

   Yes I know Euro carp fishing is here to say and that is fine. I know too as you have told us carp are here to stay as they have been introduced 140 years ago. Still does not make it right. Bucket biologists seem to know better that educated folks. 

      Again congrads to the tourney winners even though this copy and paste story is almost a year and a half old,

Still haven't seen anybody doing it. Ever. Even on a lake that is supposed to be huge for it like Lake Fork, haven't seen it.

        I have not either Ronnie but have read about it quite  bit on here and other places. Most of what I see is Americas carp fishing. Guys and gals digging worms with a potato fork in the river bottoms. Looks like a bomb went off there. Most conservation areas have no digging signs now. Then there is evidence of forked sticks along the riverbank. Now and again I see the actual fisher person enjoying themselves doing their thing. 

     * Another BilletHead disclaimer* I am in no way dishing on MOCarp. I am just showing the rest of the story. For every action there is an equal opposite reaction. I think both sides of the story should be told. It isn't all unicorns and fairy dust. 

  Think of the Wisconsin story, Just think how much more of a challenge it will be now to catch a carp there?  More relaxing time in the reclining carp lounger. More practice with the bait chumming slingshot. More maggots and corn and prepared pellets cast out there for the fish to find. More time to munch on the special human edible carp bait between bites. Might have to turn up the lighted buzzer alarm on the Euro poles in case you fall asleep in the special half tent shade area set up. I know Chumming for euro carp fishing is pretty normal. What about the bow fishers doing this? Would it be poaching and illegal because you are actually hunting over bait? 

   See this smiley face ? This means this is all in jest,
