What did you accomplish today?

Any trout in there? Out west it would be chock full of them

yeah, you have to buy a trout stamp to fish for them, though, on top of the regular license, and another stamp to fish in the park if you want to, which drastically limits what kind of bait/lure you can use, but they're there.

I believe I have proven that time after time...

I was thinking when I saw that eddy behind the rock that there would be a trout there.

I'm very close to @Roger A. Shrubber's latitude - we held the world record Brown for years and Bow's 30+ are not that uncommon. Brooks & Cutts as well.

One of my favorite is playing with big Brown trout on a 7 wt w/ a streamer (Clouser or Lefty's deceiver)

Ozarks trout.

Rainbow trout in Table Rock Lake? Well, yes and no

Table Rock Lake is not first on most people's minds when they go trout fishing in Missouri.

Freaking finally found a f'ing fishing boat engine.....a monster 6 horse.

 

[curious2garden]

Yeah, I had toddlers and we visited a friend. I had two poles and reels of my own I took for my kids and I borrowed my dad's nice Abu Garcia setup for myself. He loved that rig and never allowed me to touch it as a kid. But young family and broke so he allowed me to take it. One of my kids got a fish and I hurriedly set my dad's rod and reel down on the pier to go help them set and reel it. No sooner did I do that then I got a strike and I watched my dad's beloved rod and reel fall into the lake.

But for our friend stopping me I would have dove into the lake after it. I still regret the fact I didn't. I have my mom's brand new identical, unused set stored in my garage but it's not the same. My dad was so disappointed in me. To top it all off I was so distracted by that loss I lost the fucking fish and the toddler had a f'n fit. After that I restricted myself to chasing fireflies.

I think it's time to break out the AC units though....

Wife's family reunion this afternoon. Felt good and still felt strange to be around more than a small group of people.

Watched a pole I had "borrowed" from my Father get pulled into a river one night fishing for Carp. Lady friend had stepped away from it to help me land a fish, forgot to have her loosen the drag, bounced 3 times hard and on the fourth it was gone! Daiwa Black Widow rod with a Shimano Sienna with the "new quickfire" casting system, was so bummed..

Outch, did you consider diving in after it? I still remember the slow motion, sinking.
