Thanks for the idea's guys, especially the fresh report from Bennett Springs. Instead of dreading the trip to central MO, I am just as excited as I can be.

By the way Dave... no need to call me Sir. we are all family here! And I indeed have a few white streamers in my fly box, so I can get up early the days I don't play hooky, and run out to the lake and see if I can't lay into some whites or wipers!

Thanks again,
Ed
