North Fork issue

Ray Krouscoup was a hoot. He used to tie all the Don's Crawdad's for Hargrove's shop. Not sure if anyone ties those now.

Crane Creek was probably chosen because of the railroad, the main form of transportation in the 1800s. Records show that tracks crossed the cold, clear creek by the time the Missouri Fisheries Commission began stocking rainbow trout. The area was already an established thoroughfare, with a leg of the Butterfield Overland Mail route passing through in the mid century.

“Rumors became facts in 1903 when grading machinery and gangs of laborers moved in. The Missouri Pacific Railroad reached Crane in December 1904, and made a division terminal there in June 1905. The roundhouse was built in 1906. The Springfield branch was built in 1905 and 1906. J. H. Taylor became the first agent and later built the Hotel Portland.”

I don't know why they even teach History in schools, because once you get older and can practice a little deductive reasoning on your own, you'll likely figure out that what you were taught was complete BS.  

If you think the truth gets twisted terribly NOW, just imagine how twisted it was back then.

My quote was from the link above, actually went there from your post, I did note that it was written by an Englishman, so had the potential to be either unbiased research or just rumor picked while he was in the area. I would have guessed that the railroad he referred to was SLSF or some  early defunct system, but hey I know nothing about railroads or Crane.

Then chances are the first stocking was after 1905?

I had a buddy that went to Wash U and got a degree in history.  Think of how much that cost!!   He worked at GM on the line😂

I have no way to prove it, but I have a feeling that Crane cr. receives a stocking every 3-4 years.   It definitely has within the last 7 years.

Good ole Ernest T Bass. . . . . loves to come in and throw rocks and then run off cackling and a giggling.  😆

I found this in the Crane section.  May @trythisonemvor @drew03cmccan chime in?  They seem to fish there a lot.

Once again you show your lack of independent thought.   You're literally a programmed drone.   You really are. 🙄
