  1. A neighbor tried to straighten part of my creek about two years ago.  I called the county engineer and he came right out and put a stop to it.  Matter of fact, he had to repair the damage right away.  They, of course, had no permits to do it.

  2. This is the second in marshall county.  I live in marshall county.  I went to a public meeting about the first one.  First one located along a smallie stream.   Tons of people showed up and packed a local gymnasium and voiced their displeasure.  Some got up to the mic and really let the hog people and ag department have it.  The local board voted it down and the ag department approved it.  Total BS.

     

    But my question is this......................................what can we do if we voice our displeasure and the county board votes it down, but it gets approved anyways.?

  3. Beads are plastic...................You use a sink tip as the action of this fly under the water on the strip is very erratic.  This fly is NOT intended to be fished on the surface.  The foam diver head causes the fly to "juke and jive" all over the place.............and the idea that the fly is articulated helps the action as well......................gotta see it in the water.  Rich..........thanks for your reply.

  4. The river bassin tourney is this Saturday. I see that along with myself, a few other ISA guys are registered. Hoping to see more ISA members get signed up and join us in a fun day of fishing and fellowship after the tourney in Aurora. There is still time to sign up online. For some reason, I cannot paste the link here??? My computer is stupid. But, you can google river basin tourney and then go from there. Pretty easy to find the page where you register. Looking forward to fishing and seeing some familiar faces.

     

     

  5. Big Rig weighs a ton. You sure are not going to want to carry the Big Rig very far or lift it up onto top of car/rack/etc. I would go with Coosa or Cuda due to weight. If you plan to keep this boat for awhile, the lighter boat will become more valuable as you get older.........................

  6. I would not buy the automatic pfds as they will go off if you trip and fall into the water while putting your boat into the water our when you are out of the boat wading. In addition, had a buddy who had an automatic pFD. His PFD was laying in the boat and sitting in water, it went off and blew up like a balloon. Happened to buddy and it was quite funny, but he had to go buy another CO2 cartridge. In my opinion, a good kayak PFD has worked well for me. Many of them have little do-hickeys to attach tools to and small pockets.

     

    If you are going to wear one all the time, I strongly suggest you get one that is least restrictive and one that is lightweight and breatheable (part mesh).

  7. If you are fishing from a Coosa, small dumbbell is not going to work as an anchor as you will not be able to pull it up out of the water and have it rest in the boat........won't fit in designated anchor chutes.......................3/8 inch logging chain works much better.
