Anyone care to join? 4pm to 7pm ish.

Flows are looking slightly up, but wadable. Crossing at the pipes. I might bring bait (cigars) and see what (who) bites.

Water level is fine. Seems to have leveled off at just a hair over 1000.
That means the flats area should have walleye hanging out just off the current edge.

Can't seem to get motivated to get my ass out the door.
Was thinking of hitting a creek on Wednesday. The wintering hole.

That's if I can get motivated.

I might make you a mod for when I get bored with this again.

Trav, I think I have that comic book issue in my collection of comics. Looks familiar.

I used to have The Rifleman's rifle, toy of course. Nothing like swinging it around and smacking yourself in the face.

Ken,
Thanks for opening this up for us fools again.

Ed,
Let me know the next time you're going out there. I have some nice, heavy clousers I can toss for walleye.

I'm hoping I don't regret it John. I'll just let you children play and if you want to do nothing but beat the crap out of each other, so be it :D

I don't know what I'm going to do if someone wants to register. I'll run it past you guys, yea or nay.

I deleted a number of former residents because they used aliases and I can't remember their real names. There's a few that are still allowed to use them, but I'm going to be very picky.

Almost went and fished out the crap plant ahead of Ed, but thought I'd be nice. Did a couple of creeks near me instead, slow, but one 17 inch smallie made up for it. And a bluegill out of a little nearby pond.

Did good out there on everything but walleye and bass.

It was all you could catch carp, catfish, gills and shad. lol

I got some pictures but they suck for the most part. I'd like to get back out and hit a different stretch soon. JD, maybe we can do that and I can deliver your 4wt. as well.
