So many goals so little time, GOOD FISHIN..

  My goal this year is to take a two day  overnight fishing trip on the Buffalo River in the Arkansas Ozarks , Americas first National River , fishing for all varietys of bluegill and smallmouth bass, under 400 ft bluffs and waterfalls, the bluegill are to eat and the smallmouth are for fun. Camping overnight on one of the many gravel bars and frying up the days catch over the crackling campfire and the next day doing it again , who knows I might spend two nights out. The shore lunch will be pretty good too, and sleeping by the noise of the river only interupted by the calls of the whipperwills........ aha   , fly rods and smallmouths, bluegills and hot grease, I've done his before , time to do it again, maybe this spring before it gets to hot .  Catch me on the water.   LOFR

Sounds like that would be lots of fun, wish you the best of luck.

I concur

 

 Thanks, I'm taking a Wounded Warrior Vet from Afganstan  and a friend from Oklahoma  with me , this will be a great time,  plenty of room on the river for more.  Here is a pic from an earler trip,  we will be further downstream this time .  LOFR

Don't have to catch much to enjoy the Ozarks...great scenery and kudos to you LOFR for helping a Wounded Warrior (an American Hero) enjoy one of our greatest assets, bluegill fishing, frtiendship and the great outdoors........

Amen Jeffrey

 I know how beautiful this place is, but I will be practicing on my local river at the crappie cabin , this view on the Strawberry River is right below me,  and since hardly anyone knows about it's in all mine,8 miles upstream I'm working on my Hillbilly Fish Camp, in 2 years I should be ready for guests to fish 22 miles of my river. I'll have  world class trout fishing  on the White river 32 miles away, oh yea we have so many turkeys some of them have to sleep on the ground, for any of you that  turkey hunt, but back to the Buffalo River, it's our first National River and everyone should see it at least once.   LOFR
