  1. Re: Inspired by FG's Passing Lane Post - Holding Up the Line

    Amen, Joe! And drive on, brother...drive on!

    I actually get a big kick out of slowing down in front of tailgaters. And I waited in line as long as the folks behind me will. I OWN that spot...

    Re: Organizing your fly boxes

    I have a box of nymphs with a few streamers in the lid, a dry fly/soft hackle box, and a warm water box that contains streamers and poppers. I usually carry 2 of the 3. I won't need the warm water...

    Good. Tell her to lay on that pain pump, JC. No need to be shy. :lol:

    #18 partridge and orange

    Thanks, Doug. Restoring a little balance is a good thing.

    Re: The Missour Fish-In page is up!!!

    If you mend upstream until it's quartering downstream, of course most strikes (that you are aware of) will occur on the rise. But you are probably missing a LOT of takes. If I am fishing a soft...
  15. Re: Your thoughts on the fish and fishing ethics...

    In the Ozarks, this cleaning fish streamside and leaving the offal in the water is considered the RIGHT thing to do by most. It's an old cultural practice that goes back to the hillbilly days of...

    I fished Bennett Springs last week. I must say it was a far superior experience to what I recall from the past. This was my first trip there to fish in about 6 years. Fish quality was MUCH better....

    I can see Norman Maclean. Even though it was one novel, it was a very good one that had a distinct impact on fly fishing.

    Taken out of context like that, no way I'd run that in the local paper! However, my point (IN CONTEXT) is that if we don't change the way we train and/or pay our critical job skills people like...

    Re: Another small shop bites the dust.

    Hate to hear it, Ron. But it seems to be going around. Here in the Ozarks, the indies seem to be holding their own...which is a bit ironic here in the shadow of Bass Pro Shops HQ and flagship store.
