trout fanatic Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Well, as i alluded to in my earlier post we went to Bennett this morning. Walked into the office to collect our tags and noticed the big sign that informed us that they would be cutting weeds from 9 am to 3:30 pm. Had this happen to us twice last year and it is not fun. Despite the frustrations of dodging 10 pound clumps of weeds every 2 seconds I suspose it wasn't too bad. We both caught about 10 fish each and both of us got broke off by our biggest fish of the day when they tangled up around (guess what). Lots of other fish got off too from tangling up in the weeds but several nice fish were brought to hand so I'm not gonna cry. Trout crack, caddis larvae, wet ants and white zebra midges all produced. If anyone knows of a web site where we can find out the mowing schedule-please post it (please please please). Thanks and tight lines all
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Check out Weaver's fishing report at http://www.missouritrout.com/weavers/report.html they usually keep up on that information and will post the schedule. They also post twice weekly fishing reports with the hot flies for that time. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
trout fanatic Posted July 12, 2007 Author Posted July 12, 2007 Don't know why I didn't check that out. I usually do but my brain disengaged on me. Thanks for the reminder
Members GregSTC Posted July 12, 2007 Members Posted July 12, 2007 Google Bennett Spring Fishing Report and click on the link to Weavers. The put out a twice weekly fishing report. They have been warning people for a couple weeks that they were schedule to cut the moss today. I wish that I could have warned you. Sorry.
patfish Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Man TF, sorry to hear about the moss infestation. The Weaver's site is one of my top 3 Trout Porn sites.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 13, 2007 Root Admin Posted July 13, 2007 First time I've seen Weaver's site in season. He puts alot of work in reports- pics and all. Most people copy/paste reports and change a few items to save work. It is a good resource.
trout fanatic Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks all. I shoulda knowed better. Oh well, it was still a lot better than working

Members BrowningFisherman Posted July 15, 2007 Members Posted July 15, 2007 Yeah I am new to this sight but I would have warned you that it was rough fishing last friday as the moss was too high to fish as deep as you needed to led alone while they were cutting the moss. However Weavers is a great place they are as nice as anyone I have ever met and I have never used a lure that was posted on the web page that I did not a least get one bite on. try the pearl grizzly crackleback now that the moss is short almost gauranteed to slay them
