i have not fished in years use to love catfishing, talk about a good thing to fry up. and up here where i live we got bass, trout, catfish, walleye just gota know the hidden holes to hit

Catfish is about the only freshwater fish that I actually keep from time to time (luvs me some fresh fried catfish), everything else is catch and release.

I love some fly fishing. Even though I have only been a handful of times with my dad, I have probably tied hundreds of flies. Thats a fun hobby to try if you haven't given it a try. And it doesn't cost $50 to land your wooly bugger in a tree. ;D

truely a God's Country getaway. Never grows old. Sooooooo relaxing. On the clift, overlooking damn, silver bullit in hand. (I don't think I'd fly that ;D)

[fergie]

and to think i used to free climb stuff like that (no silver bullet though).
i quit when i got married and had kids, didn't want the kids to grow up w/out a daddy. ;D

last time i was in the area you could take jet boat trips up there I didnt get to do it but from what i understand its a kick in the pants by the way gorgeous pics love them

[fergie]

thanx alot phill, and yep they still do the jet boat tours, and it is totally awesome you can get to places not accesable by road ;D

Some great pics there, ferg.
We're just dam lucky to live in such gorgeous surroundings.

Hmmm, maybe it's time for a "pics from where you live" thread.

[fergie]
