Fishing Forum

Hey gang... I'm in the process of planning out a 3-day, 2-night retreat for some of the guys in our church group.

In looking at the maps I see where there are three zones mapped out for the Lower Mountain Fork river. I've canoed (or should I say unintentionally swam with a boat in tow!!) down parts of the river there but have never fished in that area and I have some questions that I was hoping y'all could help me with.
[ul] [li]Are there any sections of the river where the touristy canoeists and kayakers are not allowed?[/li] [li]What flies (patterns, sizes, etc.) are most recommended?[/li] [li]Are there other activities such as horseback riding or hiking? Because some guys may not want to fish (the horror!!!)?[/li] [li]Are there any rental shops in the ares that some of the guys can rent equipment from? Some guys have never flyfished before and to break them I'm going to get them hooked up on "modified" fly rigs.... (e.g. ultralights with flys...).[/li][/ul]Well... those are my questions for now.

Thanks for your time & inputs!!

[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3][cool]Hi there awmiller and welcome to the FF&T board. I know that you are from that great state of Texas but I don't know the area of your reference. I also know that there is a Lower Mountain Fork River in Oklahoma. Is that the one that you are refering to?[/size][/green][/font]

Well, let's see.... 50 years ago I first attended Glover River Scout Camp (now Dirks Camp) near Broken Bow.

We caught fish there. Some good fishing on the rivers and creeks along the Kiamichi Trail (river).

I'm still around now that the Boy Scouts are 100 years old.... I still fish and I'm guessing the Glover and Kiamichi Rivers still have fish after all these years.

Wish I could go back there one of these days.
Aloha, You all.

I remeber catching pansized Brookies out of the Grand Tetons when I was a Boy Scout.[cool]
