*Yo* being the north of the Mason Dixon line method of pinging.
Mr. Claspy and myself are contemplating a meeting on the Mad June 11th or 12th. We need a guide, does your retirement make you available? Or anyone else stuck in the midwest for that matter? Wayne |

We need a guide, does your retirement make you available? Or anyone else stuck in the midwest for that matter? Wayne Check this link: http://www4.wittenberg.edu/academics...er/report.html GPS locations, access points and check out the map link on the page. The info was for rec. canoeing but most useful to the fisherman. If it's trout you are after I kind of like Primtown Rd (bridge south to RR / north is ok too) just south of West Liberty. This spot is especially good if it is windy (you can fish with 30 mph gusts and not be bothered by it). Sullivan Rd (upstream) is good as well but you need to go to the Mad River Farm Market to get a parking pass(pretty sure its free) but this can be avoided by parking at Pike Rd bridge. From this bridge upstream TU has done some habitat repair/placement. There are all kinds of access points in Champaign Co. Just about anyplace there is a bridge, and the land owners are pretty good as long as you stay in the river and out of their fields. SR 36 has parking and a good spot at dam downstream from bridge, but this seems to get fished a lot (but still holds trout). Dallas Rd upstream is a waste of your time don't bother. County Line Rd. is good too. If you are going to fish it on the weekend, get there early. If it is nice it will get fished hard. (I like hitting it on Wed. & Thurs.) Other links of interest: http://www.madriveroutfitters.com/fishing%20reports.htm http://www.dnr.ohio.gov/wildlife/PDF...hing%20map.pdf http://water.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/waterw...=real&state=oh Flows around 240 to 330 cfs are good. Gage Ht. 3.44 to 3.62 ft. I have only fished the Mad in Champaign Co. so any info you need south of that is Asadi's bag, and is more Smallmouth water more so than trout. If you change your dates to the 9th, 10th let me know.(I work 14 hr shifts both 11th &12th) ~Chad |

I'd love to change the dates to a non-weekend but gotta put the time into the office. But since this appears to be the closest semi-decent trout water to Indianapolis, other trips and chances to meet up might be in order. |

Wayne, you have been given better advice by Goat than I have to offer. I
would only add that I often chuck wooly buggers downstream of the route 55 access. If it were me, I'd try to be there at daybreak. wherever there might be. Mapquest shows the things pretty well. As I am getting off work that morning (FOR THE LAST TIME!!!) I couldn't be there before 8:30 or 9:00 and I expect you folks would be on your 2nd spot by then. I would like to meet up with you folks, if not for fishing for coffee or other libations. cell: 937-750-1106 john "Wayne Knight" wrote in message ups.com... *Yo* being the north of the Mason Dixon line method of pinging.

Damn sure stinks I will have to miss this. Would love to meet up with you
guys but what's a guy to do? Bills to pay. Work, work, work... FWIW, If you end up at Primtown road at any time the parking is on the west side of the bridge ( some on the edge of road east side too). On the east side of the bridge there is a access trail that will take you a 1/2 to 3/4 mile downstream before it peters out. From here I bushwhack a bit ( I said "bushwhack" not break rod tip) down to the old farm road bridge and fish my way back to the truck or beyond. It should take a couple hours at least to fish your way back out. If you all find yourselves looking for the scenic way back home or you are looking for all you can eat Walleye, the rattlesnake sampler or you just get lost and find that you are near Covington Ohio, or you want to fish Greenville creek or the upper Stillwater River for smallmouth, rock bass or whatever, this is the area I will be working ( and I do get paid to talk to the fishermen. I consider this a major perk of the job ) Here are a couple of the main spots I will be in. http://www.miamicountyparks.com/Stil...terprairie.htm http://www.miamicountyparks.com/Gree...le%20Falls.htm We will have to do this again sometime. My schedule comes out about mid-month for the next month and I work a lot of weekends but I can ask off days no problem as long as I know it is coming. John, I will email you my cell # just in case. Oh and one more thing....there better be a TR posted. "asadi" wrote in message m... Hot Dam! First ever mid-Ohio mini Clave! want breakfast? "Wayne Knight" wrote in message ...
