TroutSpa? As funny as it sounds, I consider standing in 45 degree F river water as “therapeutic”.

Hey, everybody, can I put a plug in for Fern Campground this year? I know it's a higher fee, but there's a benefit. They have a really good bathroom/shower. (Now, I'm not saying any of you all "offend", or anything. Don't get me wrong.) Camp wouldn't be adjacent to Hickory, but it's about adjacent to the Day Use Area, which is nearly the same thing. Disclaimer: I'll probably pull a small camper. It's not like I have ulterior motives, or nothin'! Oh, just to add: I think my wife will not plan to come. If that's the case, I'll have a couple of extra bunk-spots that anyone is welcome to use. Anyhow, I don't really care one way or the other. Just consider this a very small plug for Fern.

Jonbo, you implying my a$$ needs to be washed during trout camp? You got it man, I’m down for Fern. We just need to make sure we’ve got a central firepit for everyone to be around. Anybody have an issue with fern?

Fern works for me assuming there’s a central firepit like you said.

There's a firepit at each campsite. Will that do?

Is there a date set yet? My older son and I would like to join in the festivities since y'all got us hooked on fly fishing this year. It'll be nice to meet everyone, we have learned a lot from y'all on here.

U seen those ads for all women fly fishing retreats? They actually include yoga classes! Anyway, the your suggestion, Dec 7-9 looks good for me! Sooner we can all kinda agree the sooner everyone can make their arrangements.

Fly fishing with good folks in December weather sounds lovely right about now. I'm in for any dates around the 7-9th.

I’m not very good so do y’all think they might stock by then.

I’m hoping they stock that weekend. I plan on following the stock truck. I’ll make it sporting though and use a Mepps. Would never stoop to using power bait. That’s like cheating. Keep me a limit too. Them stocked trouts is good over a campfire. Lil butter, lil lemon, mhm

Here's a secret: fish powerbait and tell everyone it's an egg pattern. Oops!

Nice! My first fishing outing as a single man (Unless something else develops before Dec 7th!). Maybe we can call the ODWC and get them to tell us where, when, and how many fish will be stocked? Maybe we can have a designated stock truck scout?
Let's hope for stop log removal, seasonal weather, and good graces from the fishing gods.

Can I start saving and making plans for those days? I just hope they stock a few times before that weekend and the log stops are out.

Ain't ever fished any part of the river that gets affected by the stop logs. When I fist started I mostly stayed up Spillway and around cold hole through Lost Creek. Every once n a while I'd venture out to EH. Course the floods changed up my MO a bit. The logs coming out and the different opportunities that'll be available are of great interest to me.

Were the logs in or out last year?
edit: 7,8,9 is good with me, unless something unexpected comes up of course?
