Should do the 2013 Fall Fling in Arkansas

[Tentwing]

Really we should do the Fall Fling on the White and Norfork Rivers.

I am game...with a few conditions.

1. The date would have to be after mid October
2. We should have a minimum number. If we have less than say 5 guys going because of the distance we will bail.

The reason for number one is my book. the reason for number two is that there are a lot of us who may have a hard time cutting that much time out to go such a distance. That is why the SoHo has always been a winner. Good fishing at the best time of year, and it is close.

That's funny TDub. I just replied to your message and at the bottom I mentioned........

Interesting......fished the White for 4 hours- once- in Feb 2011- killed 'em chuckin' wooly boogers wading just below the upper dam.

Tdub, if you manage to pull this one off finally (and I hope you do), I can already tell you that I won't be able to make it. A certain arch rival of Alcoa has me locked down to be the new play by play man during football season. Between that, the book, and work, no way I could squeeze in a trip that far from here. From my front porch to the campground is 9:39 minutes. Hope it works for a fling though.

just plain ole UGLY in the Ozarks....






MUCH younger but still not purty in the Ozarks ...... ;D...






And finally BEAUTY in the Ozarks.... ;D

[Petey]

wow.. that brings back many a memory. TDub I think i will have a hard time pulling that trip this year. beyond the fact i fell from a boat and fractured my left wrist this past weekend... i am just not in a good place vacation wise with work and all. especially if i have to take off time with surgery.

I'm ready to go. Sounds like a great trip to me.

Gotta promise we can wrangle Ghost and River man up for this one.

I can pull the drifter out there.

[Tentwing]

Rocky;

I call Ghost and see what he says, but I dont have Marshal's phone number. If we can pull this off I might be pulling a boat too.

I really hope we can put this together. Those are two really good tailwaters, and I think the members here would have a blast.

Depending on the date, I'm all for it.

[clincher]

Me too! The half day I got on the White in 2011 was just not enough. 18 fish that half day. Nothing huge, but pound sized, 12-15 inchers and aggressive.

Any updates on the fall fling?

[Tentwing]

Guys depending on the date and time of the Fall Fling we may have to push this to late fall or even early winter. Those are actually the best times of year for low water wading except for the hot part of the summer ,but that is usually the worst time to fish out there.

We will try and work out the times and days that will best make this trip possible without people having to take large chunks of time off work ie. (Thurs thru Sun) maybe ?

At the Fall Fling would be a good time to discuss it.

Any way we will re-visit this later it is too good a trip to let go.
