Jeff, Grant has given your some good advice. I’d add Myron and Anne McKee are some of the nicest folks you will meet. They will treat you right.
For tactics, be prepared for big weighted nymphs and buggers in the few heavy runs–especially there by the falls around Myron’s place. There are some big fish that live around those runs. Short of that, fish small late fall dark caddis (#18-20) and perhaps small blue winged olives, nymphs and dries in the gentle riffles and tailouts into the pools with an upstream presentation. Most of the fish in Missouri spring creeks are not picky on patterns but are much more so on presentation.
When you come back downstream switch to a softhackle and swing down and across.
Be sure to check with Myron and Brian on conditions a few days before your trip.
Have fun. Would enjoy a trip report when you get back,
ScottSo does working for a fly shop require me to surrender my OLD clients to the new shop? What if my clients are from out of town and nowhere near the new shop? Do I just tell them “Sorry, I can’t guide you anymore because I work for another shop.”
Ben- might be some food for thought here-

Hi
Not sure which cam and what the application is but…
I use a couple of Sb-26 units I trigger off my Nikon d200 popup flash with the d200 dialed down to minimum.
The Sb-26’s are cheap reliable and available.
I dont like using flash fill on TTL or Auto, my basic approach is slow sync/ambiant flash fill combo with as much control as I can get- the sb-26’s go down to 1/64 power on manual- my preferd method. So the control is via the manual power and how close you have the flash to the subject. Closer more fill farther away less fill. Pretty simple.In my opionion also far more control than relying on in cam
flash control.With the popup acting as the trigger it is a wireless system.
I have a Lumiquest Big Bounce/Wescott Mini Apollo/Stoffen as modifiers, choice depends on what effect I want, and a few white and black peices of foam and a couple of
Carter- “only the little people pay taxes”- hey!!! I resemble that remark:). Good luck on the retire at 35 , I’d be happy to SEE 35 again 🙂
Mike- congrats on being/feeling wealthy:)
I hate to toss a spanner in the works, but you guessed it I will try:)
Seafood as Buzz and Zach and others have pointed out there is a difference between utility and consumerism. Lets be real- you could easily put your flies in an old tobacco tin, steal your wife/girlfriend/partners sewing scissors/buy a spool of mono, toss the lot in your pocket and with whatever suitable rod and reel and line you have,
Lol- way to go Ian- I hate being poor/grade 12 education/middle aged and lacking in imagination and drive:))))
Oh wait!! no I chose that!!!!!- I just hate Ian and Jack:))))))

Obviously I’m not a hunter – lol
You have all certainly provided much food for thought and some very valid personal insights into the sport and concepts on natural resource management.
Eric – your images are both powerfull / evocative and highly personal and as a photographer
A real man would have caught that squirrel for a photo op as he swam across the river.
Manhood implies maturity which comes with ability to reason and think through consequences.
Grabbing squirrel out of water is not reasonable.
Therefore, subject is nuts!Those boats are exquisite. Are they vintage, new, or self-built? I’ve done a bit of boat building down here in south La., and while I know nothing about drift boats, they are beautiful craft.
Those are kit boats. The square ender I finished last summer and the double ender my friend Karl built the year before. They are fun projects.

How did the well-organized gentleman get his object down to the riverside?
We did not see him get it down there, but I assume he had help, Zach. Interesting set up. He seemed ready for anything.
What is the yellow thang???- hmmms I don’t care what it is- if it is fly fishing related- I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Based on the shifty eyed guy with the Sci Angler box- I think I may buy some more Sci Angler lines- I feel some camaraderie:)

David- I know I should apologise but I won’t…:)) I’m on a Nikon d200 so 1.5 crop factor. I was wondering if you are using a full frame Canon or a crop factor Canon
David and Byron- ty for the encouraging words:))
I think this is a great discussion to pursue- not sure how else fly pattern photography develops without these exchanges- and
