However, since @cheezyridr looks just like Lurch and he approaches pond owners for permission to fish, I'm wondering how that goes. My guess is he gets permission to fish wherever he wants and doesn't have to ask twice! 1 Quote

Blue Raider Bob Posted February 7, 2023 Author Posted February 7, 2023 Duck River near Henry Horton State Park, middle Tennessee. The water is clearing up and soon it will be river time! I've got to shovel mud off the ramp before that can happen. Every time the river rises, it leaves a coating of mud. Nature makes me work for my leisure! 1 1 Quote
