Subj:	DonMac, some news from the Northwest- fishing is good! I could get used to this! 

   YO! DonMac. Ok, time to take you up on your offer. I have an entry 
for you for the notes file from the Great Northwest. Place it where 
you wish for this "read only slave":
 
YO!
    Yes, that's right, it's me. NIGHTCRAWLER~~~~~! Back to pollute 
this squishing file. DonMac offered to place a note for me if I had 
any fishing trip news from Oregon. Here goes:
 
CONDITIONS: MISERABLE (Perfect for steelies) 36' outside pouring rain.
            41' water temp. High wind, some snow. COLD & WET. I'd 
            never marry those type of conditions.
WHERE: The Clackamas River, Escantada Ore., lower fork area.
 WHY?: Why not? Git down.
  HOW: Drift boat fishing with hot-shots,flatfish, salmon egg clusters 
       and shrimp with 17lb test maxima. The first three produced fish. 
       Fished slack water outside of heavy current & class 3 rapids
       and the seams of currents. Bottom bounced the lures in the same 
       place with a controlled drift, beer spilling.
BOTTOM LINE:
     There were three of us in the boat. We caught 5 steelies! My two fish
     both went 10lbs! Yes 20lbs of trout is my freezer. Two is the tag 
     limit. Can't wait to go again. Truely a fighting reel burning 
     fish. Great on the BBQ! 
          YO TBDW, the offer still stands if you ever get out this 
     way. Next its after the mighty STERGEON on the Colombia river.
     size limit on these babies is over 40" and under 4 feet to 
     keep....then Walleye on the Colombia. Then Salmon, shad and oh my 
     god BASS naturally. Boating all year ain't so bad, just cold.
     The tracker FS1800 is still running strong! 
Well, if any of you coneheads make it to the Great Northwest give me a 
call. I'll hook you up. YO!, to Coonass, Holeshot, TDBW, MOOSEFACE, 
Molestah and the rest of you ugly kiver pluggers. Hey BDW, I am 
thinking about an Alaskan fly-in in a few months....right after my 
trip to the San Jaun Islands for Salmon. What do you think? You know
where I am.
                          NIGHTCRAWLER~~~~~~~~~~~ !

Yo Don Mac-
 
(some stuff deleted. dm.....................................) Yes this
means I am leaving Oregon for New Mexico. Yes I am keeping my metal 
flake monster. Heard they have "sand Bass" that are huge.
   I am deeply concerned however. The LeDgeNd has contaminated the 
file. And Pardoo-doo-doo too! Gadzooks. Is there no deity?! Zombies 
really do exist! Next thing you know we will have people diving for 
their trolling motors in their underwear! Remember THAT! 
   Well give my worst to UnLeDgenD and my best to the rest. Hope to be
tuned in in the Southwest.
                             Fish on!

    Donmac - 
 
         "THE ALBUM" showed two VERY OBVIOUS things.
 
1)  TBDW was fishless in his pictures as usual :-)
 
2)  The 'lEdGeND of the lost' found a good buy on plastic Bass 
    replicas. (nice matching green shirts by the way, are they 
    engaged?)
   > The white out I put on Waters face should rub off. 8^)
 
        Good album, but where is the picure of my parter Juan Corozon' 
hurling, launching and spewing beer and blackberry brandy @ Monofish?
 
ps; who has the 1800fs Tracker? Good taste man!

Subj:	OZARK Trip Report. Beaver Lake, Bass Pro Shops. Did someone say HOEDOWN! 

Trip Report:  * Beaver Lake, Eureka Springs Arkansas
              * Visit to Bass Pro Shops, Springfield, Mo.
 
      Beaver Lake was by far the cleanest and most spectacular lake I 
have ever fished or boated on. The only others that even compared were
some Canadian waters I've fished. Beaver has 483 miles of shoreline and is 
31,000 acres!! Get out the compass eh. A wide range of islands and wildlife
abound and I saw very little water traffic (lake size perhaps?). The lake
is in the hundreds of feet deep. Lots of coves, standing timber, cliffs-
you pick the structure, it's there.
      The primary game fish are large & smallmouth Bass, and Striped Bass.
The usual panfish, perch & some very large catfish are available. Striped
Bass run huge, 40 -50lbs. Largemouth Bass have exceeded the 17lb range. Plenty
of trout as well. A well rounded fishery. 
       I put in on the Dam site of the Lake. The Dam feeds the White
River which I understand is a premier Trout river with large browns.
While on the Lake I have NEVER seen so many fish on a depth finder.
Hanging on sunken islands, laying in a flooded town beneath the Lake,
virtually everywhere. As I understand it, Bull Shoals Lake in Mo. 
dumps into Table Rock Lake in Mo., which in turns dumps into Beaver 
Lake In Arkansas, which feeds the White river. (Table Rock Lake was 
also quite impressive). The Lake is formed by the Dam of the White 
River.
        Fish Report- Caught lots of largemouth 2-5lb but not the trophy I 
was after. Also caught some small (3lb) stripers which fought like
10lb fish. I can only say, I'm glad I have 20 acres on the Lake and 
can't wait to build there some day. Besides that, my folks own the 
local tavern! If anyone wants more info on "BEAVER" let me know through
vax mail or Donmac. If things go right, I'll be running that tavern 
some day & fishing the rest of my life away.
       Yup NIGHTCRAWLER~~~~~ YOUR OZARK CONNECTION.
         
          Bass Pro Shops Report: 8^)
 
   It was like an Opium Den. Everyone is dazed walking around with a 
stupid smile on their face. It was a religious experience. I obtained
Nirvana. I was one with my credit card to the tune of 300 big ones.
We spent the better part of the day there. Hats, microlite bionic 
blades, lures, t-shirts, cups, UL-reel, more tackle I did not need but
HAD to have. It was a life's goal completed going there. The aquarium 
were great & I especially liked the antique lure, rod & reel 
collection. The restaurants & fast food places sold beer which only 
made you go into a deeper trance and spend more money. IT WAS GREAT.
Also passed right by the TRACKER MARINE factory. 
    On the way back to my folks place in Eureka Springs Ark. we also 
visited BIG CEDAR LODGE. (the place advertised in the bass pro 
catalog). What a fantastic resort tailored to fishermen/women. Lodging
was expensive as I recall but you could rent cabins and share with 
another family. 
                Can't wait till the next trip and if you plan a visit
to THE OZARKS let me know. I might even steer you to some free beers.
Beautiful country the Ozarks, with great water and lots of FISH.
 
            NIGHTCRAWLER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! 
                       ....... back in the N.M. desert  8^(
