Date of Trip: 2/6/09 Times fished: 3:30pm - 5:00pm Air Temperature: Chilly Weather: Sunny Water Level: Average Water quality: Milky What worked: Glo-bug
I got out of work a little early this Friday afternoon and couldn't resist the
opportunity offered by the rare warm weather. I don't fish much in Stone Mill
because it seems like before the sound of the stocking truck has passed into the
distance every guy in Pulaski County who owns a Zebco has a stringer of 20 fish.
But it was close and time was a factor, so a friend and I made the trip with the
hopes that winter catch and release rules had been adhered to. The good news is,
there was plenty of fish activity in spite of the last stocking being in October.
I was able to outsmart only two of them with my Glo-Bug but I saw plenty more
silhouetted in the cloudy water and even more of the the tell tale surface
disturbances that indicate a fish lurking below. All in all an awesome remedy for a
late winter case of cabin fever.
Thanks, Walt for I attended your fly fishing class on Ft Leonard Wood a year ago
and appreciate the opportunity it's given me to enjoy this sport... my wife's not
so grateful ;)
Very happy that the class helped so much (and my apologies to your wife). Thanks
for the kind words and for the fishing report. Hope to hear from you again soon.

Date of Trip: 11/25/07 Times fished: 9:00am - 3:00pm Air Temperature: Comfy Weather: Partly Cloudy Water Level: Average Water quality: Slightly Clouded What worked: Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear
Caught 66 fish mostly 12-13 inches. Hits on almost every cast. Average 10 trout/hour. Just stocked for
catch and release. My neighbor and I had the stream to ourselves all day. He took 50 from one spot.
Holy cow! Thanks for the report Eugene. Stone Mill Spring always has a few fish
in it, but it gets cleaned out pretty good after the stocking truck leaves. Hopefully,
winter catch & release will catch on there.
