Yeah, dude, imagine that! :0
Steve, my man...do you know I still have some of your flies? Love them little guys, I call them "Crosby's Nymphs" because I don't have a clue what they really are!
The bass on those streams respond to No. 6 poppers, of the Accardo Spook variety, in yellow/black. These are small creek bass, two pounds is a big 'un, three pounds is a jaw-dropper. My jaw has NOT dropped yet!

Suzie and I reserved a cabin on the Norfork. We're going to be there for a week in fall. We're planning to fish the White, Buffalo, Crooked Creek. I also think I know where, in a broad area, Harry Middleton lived with Albert and Emerson, and I plan to make what can only be described as a pilgrimage there, with a couple hard boiled eggs and an IBC root beer.
Best,
