Finally a few hours to fish in Arkansas

As most of you know, Charlcie and I have been fairly busy since the premature birth of our special little miracle twin grandsons Charlie Monroe and Tucker Cash. Since March 23, we have been spending considerable time in Little Rock to be with our son Ben and his wife Myka and to offer help and support where needed. We consider ourselves so blessed with the progress of the little guys, the dedication and love that Ben and Myka provide to their little blessings, and the fact that we are in a position to be there for/with them. In addition, caring for our home, property, and health, has pretty much filled our schedule. However, we did have two days last week that were open! Since our niece's husband Jeff had scheduled a visit a long time ago, we encourage him to come on up and I was able to fish with him a couple of days. Turns out our best option for fishing was below Bull Shoals dam and we pretty much had the place to ourselves and the generation patterns were very favorable. We had what we consider to be great conditions for the type of fishing we like to do and we had some productive fishing, fantastic fall colors along the river and up through the surrounding mountains. A couple of days like that can melt away a lot of concerns and is so refreshing and reinvigorating. Now I'm ready to go back and wrestle with my new little buddies.
