Creek wading in the Ozarks
I managed to get away and fish a small creek that's one of my favorites for a morning trip Monday and caught a few, missed a few others, but really had a good time with my 6-weight fly rod.
I did get one halfway decent picture of a gorgeous Ozark Smallie, but it wasn't having it and wiggled half out of my grasp so I let it get away before I got a great shot, but still, a nicely marked Ozark Smallie.

Super, Randy!! What type of fly did you catch him with?
I love fishing creeks with a fly rod great report.
That was a foam popper, one in Black/Gray/White with lots of blue sparkle flash in the tail, a color I like to call "Wall Cloud".
Caught a couple on subsurface flies, but the popper was doing better, and it's much more fun!

Wow, beautiful fish Randy. Thanks for sharing.
That is a pretty fish.
Wow, beautifully colored fish, and even more beautiful water. Can't wait to try an ozark river again. I maybe fortunate enough to have a couple days to explore while passing through the area August 30th, 31st if you'd be up for a float trip.
Nice, I think i'm going to string up the fly rod this weekend and try some of the poppers I made not to long ago. I hope you won't be upset if I ripped off your foam popper design.
It'll be fine as long as I get 1.00$ for every fish caught on that design.Originally Posted by T. Johnson

Then I already owe you about thirty bucks. Those things were great on post spawn fish down at Table Rock this year. I wanted to get in touch with you about the tackle shop in Ozark, The Anglers Edge. I stopped by last week and checked the place out and it seems like it maybe a decent little tackle shop. Not much selection on factory stuff but he is willing to customize hand tied jigs, both hair and rubber. Maybe I can finally get a flawless design on a rubber jig.
Nice brownie!
