Yeah, it's a beautiful stream made ugly....kinda like some women who change
their hair to look like everyone else or some such similar...I seldom fish
that river...

Except for the reaches down below Springfield. It's killer for small mouth.
Big holes fish deep.

We have the Mad and the Stillwater and the Miami...good fishing all. I live
several hundred yards up from where the Stillwater joins the Miami and
usually get a little fishing in every evening weather permitting. I just
walk down and start chucking wooly buggers. I was starting to get into rock
bass and last year's smallmouth when we had this last weather change.

Let's definitely hook - up. Tim Carter lives up towards the Big and Little
Darbys - reputed to be among the best in the state...

A great spring jaunt is the Grand up on the Lake. Decent fishing, excellent
access and a lot of pubs. If the hearing goes well (and I expect to be
totally exonerated) I'll have June 11 - 15 free for a mini clave... probly
be the first in Ohio...

john ... spending a lot of time at the University of Dayton Law School
Library...anybody need a good paralegal?

I will be unable to attend the clave this year, to quote Waylon and

"For reasons that I'd rather not disclose." Hopefully, these shackles

Sorry to hear about penns. I am not going as well so I can't help you at
all
in that regard.
However....
I only live 45 min to an hour from you tops. We should terrorize some
Stillwater smallies sometime. My schedule is in a constant state of flux
and
the river is blown out now anyway but I am around.
I have made one trip to the Mad this year. I was only there for a couple
hours but still managed to land a nice little 12.5" brown. I was pressed
for
time but it was worth the trip. But I still have trouble with the
channalization. Damn is that ugly to look at. There are spots that are
like
fishing a flooded gravel driveway. But just in the last year I have seen
improvements with the structure and habitat placements that have been
done.
Like I said I'm around....
I ain't near as much fun as a clave..... but I do hit my head a lot.
