Matt,
I was hoping to meet Tony, but he had just gotten out of the hospital, back
operation.
He lives near Wild Cat Shoals and Tucker Shoals. He said there's a resort
nearby, the Wild Cat Resort. (870) 453-2321.
When I was at the local Arrow Awards (direct marketing) last week, I sat
next to a guy from a local agency who fly fishes. He said he goes to the
White River many times a year...and he sent pictures of 20"+ trout he's
caught. He thinks it's worth the drive, and he said he seldom fishes
Missouri waters. I told him about my experience with the high water and all
the gates open, and he recommended the tributaries.
I was thinking about going next week, but the lakes are full, a few weeks
ago the area was flooded, and more rain is predicted next week. I may stick
with the bass creeks. Good luck.
---------------------------------
You almost hit a home run.
Will try to send you a shot as soon as I can.
They are in the Global flyfisher. Go to www Globalflyfisher.com Do a search

Jerry:
Did you hook up with a guide when you went -- or did you fish it yourself?
Also, did you meet up with Tony at all -- i was hoping to meet him (always
like to meet list members whenever possible) while I was in the area.
Thanks for the info on the Chili Pepper. I am off to FeatherCraft either
today or tomorrow to buy the materials. Thanks!
Matt Tucker

Matt,
Tony Spezio told me to tie Chili Peppers. Once the trout started up,
on my
one trip there, I was catching one on about every other cast. It's basically
a bronze woolly bugger. You can find Tony's pattern somewhere on the
internet...I used sparkle braid for the body, burnt orange marabou for the
tail, and I palmered a brown hackle. I used a few wraps of lead too.

I am taking my first trip down to the White River tailwater system in a
couple of weeks and was wondering what patterns are "must haves" for June on
these waters. It is my goal to catch the "ozark grandslam" -- but like any
fisherman going to new waters, I am really hoping only to not get skunked.
At any rate, other than the sow bugs and scuds, what are your must have
patterns for the cutthroats and brookies in these waters?
Thanks,
Matt Tucker
