I've looked at the White from both sides now

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.

Oh......and one thing that irritated me no end in Greers Ferry:

In 1989, while finishing up in grad school, I was offered the
chairmanship of the math / science dept. at Arkansas State Univ branch
at Beebe. For various reasons, I didn't take the job. Three years
later, the record brown was taken in the Little Red. Grrrrrr.

Then, last week, I find out the the Beebe campus had gone 4-year a few
years later and then in '03, or so, ASU opened a campus in Greeers
Ferry. double Grrrrrrrrrr. Many schools have a tradition of
upgrading those about to retire to prez of new campuses, so they can
be the big cheese for a year or two and brag about it in the nursing
home. Ahhhhh, well. Missed my chance.

cheers, anyway

oz, waiting for the water to go down
