Hmm, think I'll fish with you next year.

About a week after the N'folk, after doing about a thousand miles
through the Ouachita's, looking at leaves and SEEKING THE SUN, we
spent a night at a private campground nest to the Swinging Bridge in
Greers Ferry AR, backed out over the tail water from the dam. Water
was HIGH and did not respond to usual trout spinning gear. The next
morning, water was still high, so I ambled over the the fly shop
across the road and asked what was going on. Guy says the monsoons
have raised the lake and the water will be running full bore for at
least three weeks. (I was to find out, later that day, that Bull
Shoals and Norfork were having the same problem)

Have any of the inmates fished the Greers Ferry tail waters? It was
my first time through the area and it looked lovely, but, as I said,
way to high for significant fly fishing -- I don't like to fish from a
boat, preferring to wade.

cheers

oz, watching the colors change in my woods.
