justlearning 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 Howdy all Just found the fourm while surffing for information on fly tying. Live in central Missouri, work in EMS 2 24 hr shifts a week so I have plenty of time to tease the fish. I have been fly fishing for about 3 years on a regular basis and now decided I want to start tying my own flys. I have made a couple so far that dont look to bad, the bluegills likes one of them. The more I study and pratice the more I like doing it. The girl friend is even getting into it. Look forward to reading and posting. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justlearning 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 I have not duck hunted since the mid 80s when I lived up by St Joe. A place called bean lake right next to KC power and light tons of ducks and geese. Do a lot of deer hunting though. I don't know much about west of columbia but just east a place called Little Dixie lake, about a 12 acre lake, has some hugh blue gill and big crappie.
