February 2022 Ozark Anglers Crane Creek trip

[tjm]

Never was a picture taker although over the years I have bought several fairly good cameras with the intent to use them. You've all seen little fresh stocker trout any way and we know that's all there is there.   They averaged ~7.5" and still par marked, though I missed a few better ones and had knot failure on a hefty fish that might have been a trout. So, my first fish of the year was bait.

Wind right  at the ditch wasn't bad and it was shirt sleeve warm, but the trees were howling til the noise  drove me away.  I'd planned on a Capp's Creek stop on the way home but the legs had had enough, so I'll do that another day. I need to lose fifty pounds, give my joints a rest.

p.s.- get better soon Brian. I almost tumbled twice today.

I am so glad to hear the fish cooperated - the fishing was the best part.

Being a game time decision sucks... deciding on the fly not to go made me sad.

I had every intention of joining you guys that day....even had my stuff set out and ready to go. Unfortunately a last minute work thing got in the way and I wasn't able to make it. Hopefully we can do this again soon. Sounds like fun!
