Default Oklahoma fly fishing...

It seems to have worked out OK at Lake Taneycomo near Branson, Mo.. That
one was developed in 1958 before yuppies existed. Was it a bad idea
there also?


Nothing there "worked out OK". That whole phoney-baloney, so-called
"trout" fishery below the Table Rock Dam is a friggin' travesty and
a goddamned shame. Have you ever been there ? It's a joke. That dam
ruined one of the best smallmouth streams in the world to create
electricity for air conditioners in Oklahoma City. There ain't one
damn thing about that stream that's "worked out OK". I've fished
there, ran from the sirens and dodged the jon boats. It's a zoo,
not a trout fishery.
