We had a blast and caught a ton of fish.<br /><br />Our favorite spot though is fishing southern Missouri. We have a time share in Branson and go there as often as we can. <br /><br />We've also caught a lot of fish in the Brazos River, just east of Glen Rose, Texas. My wife caught a nice 7 lb striper in there few years ago...<br /><br />Great site, keep up the good work!The Impulsive Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432309044008971942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-71308879432407228122011-07-01T08:07:50.597-05:002011-07-01T08:07:50.597-05:00I recall a big man-boy named Harold who loved to k...I recall a big man-boy named Harold who loved to kiss dogs and pet babies married a girl with an evil cat that was as pretty as he was (the girl not the evil cat).

I use equal parts of brown sugar and kosher salt along with just a little garlic and cloves. I rub the turkey with olive oil and put my homade brisket rub on for seasoning and do the slow smoke process. It does take a lot of time but it works.

I am sure it gets cold in October but the latter months are a better bet.<br /><br />You know, I have never bank fished with a fly rod that lake. For one, there is a lot of trees along the banks and second, those pesky joggers just may grab your fly on the backcast and test your drag! :-)<br /><br />Anyways, I am sure there are spots but I have not really been there enough to tell you. However, the only spot I could think to try may be under the Mopac bridge.<br /><br />As for wading, I seemed to have read somewhere that it isn't allowed on LBL and I have never seen anyone doing it.texasflyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807956251544952743noreply@blogger.com
