"I've been out doing the same thing a few times, when I can.
Honestly, though, the Hex Hatch is in full swing right now. Do you have any areas that have a Hex Hatch, John? It can been a blast fishing that one."
Do you love big bluegill?

"N/P. I just went and looked at them today. The one to get is the only hammer drill offered, it's $159.99 with a 4ah battery and charger."

"You want a hammer drill with a 1/2" chuck, a battery with as many amp/hours as you can afford, and as mentioned, at least 750 in/lbs of torque. Don't use the hammer setting, leave on Drill, setting #1. I have a buddy that uses…"

Glad to hear that little jig-fly catches fish. If I remember right, you lost it to a toothy predator, right? Let me know if you want/need more."
"Tailraces are good fishing! Depending on how the water is released, the temperature of that water is more stable than in a stream, so fish use tailraces as a thermal refuge. Also, the bubbling from water mixing provides aeration, and…"

"I have an Okuma Avenger ABF 65 spinning reel that has a bait clicker. Love that thing. It's a little big for Bullheads, but Channels, Blues, and Flatheads it's perfect."

Arkansas River 10/24
Well, Keystone Dam released some water yesterday, and sure enough, there was a good bit of water coming downriver when I got to my spot. I walked down the emergency boat ramp and saw two swarms of seagulls diving on bait in the water; good signs.
I get out there, and a gent I know catches three before I can get a line in the water. Started out with a Powerbait swimshad, and managed to catch a small Sandie on that. Then, after seeing a bunch of fish hit top, I switched over to a…

Arkanss River 9/17 Zebra Mussels!
Headed out this morning, first full day of my 2-week vacation. I had three goals that I wanted to accomplish today:
1) Catch some minnows to take home for use as bait.
2) Catch some Shad, again, for bait.
3) Catch some Skipjack, to process into cut bait for catfish.
I knew it was going to be LOW, as I’ve been watching the level on the internet.
BOY, was it low! I haven’t seen it this low in awhile. Walking out, I…

Arkansas River, Keystone Dam
I decided to go up to Keystone Dam and throw out some of the cut Skipjack Herring I have, and see if any cats were feeling hungry. I didn’t know how the bite was going to be, as there was no water moving, and we had a cold front come through the day before.
I rigged and baited one of my surf rods. I tossed that bait up near the turbines, and set the clicker. I then baited up a smaller rod that had a float rig on it. I knew from previous experience that I can at least play…

Had to go back today....
And see how the size 8 BH Wooly Buggers that I tied up last night work.
I started off with a size 6 Gurgle-Pop as an indicator bug, with a size 8 BH Wooly Bugger on a dropper about 2’ below the Gurgle-Pop. The first fish decided to go for the Gurgle-Pop:

- Allen, I got my copy of, "The Book of Fly Patterns," by Eric Leiser. To my nimrod eyes, it is very thorough and conciseOf you don't have it, I recommend it.
PS I got it used from alibris.com 6$, shipped. It's the 1993 version and isn't really internet savvy. Aside from that, it's golden.
