Turkey Hunting and the Ark

Winchester and I just spent tw full days starting a 4 in the morning scouting out the southern part of the state for turkeys. We covered a lot of ground a discovered some good spots for the future. Found lots of poop, scratchings and tracks. Friday morning we got a hen all fired up and she came right to us maybe 15 yards away which was cool but would have been a lot cooler if she had the big dog with her. Anyway the hunting was a bust but had an epic day on the Arkansas river with Pete and Chris. Chris got word they were dropping the flows and suspected that with the 75 degree day that was forecasted there would be a substantial caddis hatch. He was right and the fish were going crazy. We all caugt a ton of fish on dry flies and the were all in the 11 to 14 inch range which was nice. I hooked into a big dog that I spotted while billy goating around on the rocks but he spanked me in a matter of seconds.
