I used to work about a mile from his shop on Manchester Road. I spent many lunch hours over there. He was a great guy!

I agree. Several years ago, I spent a weekend in Arkansas at a school put on by Dave and Emily Whitlock. I know it helped my casting and drift control.

Thanks for the input!

I have been looking at Spider Creek's website and thinking about a trip there. Would you go back again?
Thanks,

First, let me say that trout are pretty low on my list of eating fish. They are just a little too oily for my taste. With all due respect to your professor, suckers have a more delicate,...
Some time back I took a class at Dave Whitlock's place. He has a pond in the back yard where you do casting practice. I n order to practice fighting fish, Dave chums up the catfish and you cast a...
Fished the Meramec River (South-Central Missouri) at the Cardiac Hill access this morning. Started around 6:00 AM, quit about 9:00 AM in order to avoid the canoe traffic jams. Beautiful morning,...
Thanks Ron -

Hi -
Haven't been visiting here, or fishing much lately. Things have slowed down to where I should have more time for both. I'm in the market for some new breathables. Could I get some...

Good luck, and please post a report when you get back. I'm vacationing in the Black Hills area the week of 9/5, and I think I remember Betty H saying she would be up that way also.

I have lower back trouble too. Physical therapy is what finally helped me the most. After a while, the exercises get to be part of your routine and you don't really mind them. The other...
The Meramec (Central Missouri) where I do most of my fishing has lots of suckers. I tie a marabou streamer that is silver-gray on top, white below, with just a little bit of yellow marabou on the...

Thanks for the info! I don't think you need to worry about me depleting the fish population. Betty, I've seen your fishing report on Bennett Springs. Are you a Missourian? I...

Nice fish! The boss lady and I are planning a trip to the Black Hills area in early September. I would appreciate any recommendations and/or advice for fishing, sightseeing, and...
I second the Joe Brooks recommendation.
