The boy and I decided to make a trip to Springfield tonight. Just wondering if anyone had been out there lately? I will post results later.

hope im getting this to you early enough. i live about 15 min from Springfield and try to get there about once a week or so. no luck the last outing and fishing is getting a little tough due to the weeds coming in but I fly fish from the banks. I saw some tubers batching by the back side of homers bar but no idea what they were using. most of my luck lately has been on damsel nymph with a dropper. hope that helps can't wait so hear any reports

The fishing started out slow, but picked up. There is not much open water, but if you can find open water there are some big fish. My boy hooked into a couple of nice ones he couldnt land. This was his first time with fish over 12".
We started with various leech patterns and then switched to pheasant tail nymphs. Even though we did not land any we hooked into a few and my boy now has the fever and wants to go out some more.
We are headed out somewhere this weekend. I will post later.
