Let's keep this in mind. You will need to let me know what flies to bring....
LJ >>> "Don Ordes" <f...@tribcsp.com> 11/4/2010 11:17 AM >>> Larry, There are two places here that deserve your attention, but lots of places to do well- in this near vicinity. Lake fishing sounds out for you, but I do fish them from time to time from the shores for big cruising females feed on crawfish. River-fishing is different. The N. Platte has been very privatized, but is highly prolific if you drift it. I have a Gruman wide Sport-canoe with outriggers that makes a very stable platform to fish from. You are welcome to come paddle me down the river any time. LOL The Miracle Mile can be floated, but we need to watch the flows and levels- lots of boulders & sandbars. Some biggies can be caught, but most are little ones in the 12" to 20" range.
