BilletHead Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Terrierman said: Well we had a good time. In the cottage. Wednesday was fog and rain all day, finally quit around 4:00. Walked the dogs down to the ramp and saw a boat coming in. A guide and two sports. They said they had been out all day in the rain since 6:30. Caught two browns and three rainbows if they were telling me the truth. Thursday it was cold and WINDY. White capping in front of the place in the morning. Way too windy to fish a jig at all and just too windy to enjoy fishing especially alone. So the cover never came off the boat while we were at the river. Did not see one boat or one fisherman anywhere on the river Thursday. Which I think confirms the wisdom of the decision to leave the cover on the boat. We did eat well. The first night pizza and wings from Nima's - the new owners are hanging in there if you ask me. Thursday we went into Mountain Home and had lunch and a beer at Rapp's Barren Brewery. Top shelf food - a short rib/portabella mushroom swiss burger and a really good - and big - chopped salad with their housemade honey mustard vinagrette. The dressing really had a big musard bite! Definitely liked the beer too. I do not like bitter beer and they had several ales to choose from. I had their 1810 cream ale. Lovey had a salted caramel brown ale. Just a hint of the salted caramel - it was still definitely beer, not candy. After lunch, Lovey wanted to see Buffalo City so we did. She was impressed with the scenery and the "quiet people" on the way down the hill to Riley's. I think she's going to have some quiet people here fairly soon. Sorry Eric. Next time Amigo. John, here are your pictures. I believe they document the trip nicely. We needed to be out, we were and we had a good time. When the weather is better, I'll be back. It really is a favorite place of mine/ . That's all folks! Thanks Rick, There is always more than just fishing. Nothing wrong with that. Good eats and good drinks are a must in relax mode.

Quillback Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Rick that sounds great! I hear you on the wind, it was windier than heck here. JestersHK and Terrierman 2
netboy Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 After seeing the picture of your boat, I think I passed you yesterday morning around 8:30 at the Rim Shoals Road stop sign. I was towing my Blazer jet rig headed for the ramp.

Ham Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 tough weather, but as in almost all things I suspect, you made the most of it. Hopefully, I'll see you the next time you are down. Terrierman 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

Hopefully, I'll see you the next time you are down. It's not that hard to make the most of a trip to Rim, weather notwithstanding. Lovey and I are both comfortable there and so are the dogs. We were the only people there so especially easy to deal with the dogs. There have been tougher times for sure.😉 I know you are not a drinker but if you have not eaten at Rapp's, you should give it a try. It's outstanding. Ham and JestersHK 2
Ham Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 We probably go to Rapps a couple of times a month. We like and recommend it as well. Terrierman 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
netboy Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 X3 on Rapp's. We have some our Trout Unlimited gatherings there. They always put out a great spread. Terrierman 1
