How's Fishing?
It was a great weekend for opening of catch and release. The weather was
mild and the water, clear. From those that had the chance to fish this
weekend the report was that the fishing was amazing. Just stand in one
spot and cast. The lures that were mentioned were scuds (brown),
cracklebacks (blue or green) and renegades. Pretty standard stuff. I did
also hear about an 80th ounce gold plated gingersnap doing well.
Our store is not open this winter. If we are here at Bennett, call us and
we will be happy to open the store so you can get what you need.

A couple of the pictures
show divers and bubbles from divers. The Spring is a favorite spot for
divers in the off season.

If a new man is particularly attentive he can learn to fly fish in a half
hour. But then he will go on learning as long as he fishes for trout

How's Fishing?
The catch and release season starts on November 8th. The hours are 8 a.m.
to 4 p,m.from Friday to Monday each week. Hopefully we will have a winter
with warm weekends to enjoy casting a line.
I got an e-mail from
Mike Perry, the new assistant hatchery manager. He wanted me to let you
all know that there will be trout stocked in some of the urban lakes of
St. Louis and Kansas City sometime during the week of November 4th to
November 8th. Great fun for those who may not always have the opportunity
to spend time at the Missouri trout parks.

Quote of the Week
This one is one that has been on this report before, but George Sharon,
our photographer, sent it to me and I think it is a great one for this
time of the season.
With rivers as with good friends, you
always feel better for a few
hours in their presence; you always want
to review your dialogue,
years later, with a particular pool or riffle
or bend, and to live
back through layers of experience. We have been to
this river before
and together. We have much to relive.

Noted fly fisherman, Lefty Kreh was once asked by a
non-fisherman what was the sense of catching fish only to let them go. He
responded, "Do you burn your golf balls after a game?"
