Bluegill Fest?

If I knew how to use photoshop I prolly could have drawn some boobs or a vagina on the bluegill pictured to keep with the trend on the OTD blog. Sorry guys, yes this is actually a post about fishing. Anyway I talked to BL on Saturday about hitting the lake by my house one night this week(maybe Thursday?), and I drove by the lake on Sunday to see what it looked like. It is still a bit murky and I didn't stop to talk to anybody about the fishin', but hey I'm down if you guys are. If anything its a chance to throw a few flies around. Give me shout and let me know the consensus.

It's been too long...

So it's been almost a month! The last post was on March 24th. In order to keep the site fresh and keep people interested I thought I better get this up on the site.

Trout Fishing in the Midwest Acknowledged!

Nice little blurb from an Arkansas paper from a seminar led by "Skip" Morris inventor of the skip nymph(Isn't that correct BL?). Anyway some good tips on nymphing for lunkers and a glimmer of recognition from a westerner that the Midwest does have big trout.

Ready to freakin fish!

Catch This

In the past two years or so OTD have had the luxury to stay in the friendly confines of Denny B's Snake and Tick Ranch outside of Licking, MO. Conveniently located near Montauk State Park. While staying at the ranch we have electricity as well which makes it easy to throw something in the crock pot before heading out to fish all day and returning to hot meal. Below is one of our favorites:

Carole G's Italian Beef:
Boneless Beef Roast just the right size to fit in the crock pot
one can beef consume
one can of beer
one packet Italian Dressing (dry)
one jar of pepperocini (juice, stems and all)

combine all items and cook on low for about 8 hours.
use a fork to shred beef once cooked and serve on buns.

If you follow Paul's lead you can smother with rotel cheese dip as well.

Next time you are taking that fly fishing trip to Patagonia or need to update that fly box or try to compete with Hammer's fishing supplies, you might need some extra money. Start saving today.
