A Kayak Lesson with Some Fishing Advice

About a month ago, I wrote about fishing Rocky Forks Lake Conservation Area near Columbia, Missouri.  If you didn't read that post, then you can click here.  It was a good morning and my good buddy and I caught a good number of bluegill and bass.  We also caught some bass that were in the 16 inch range as well as a 10 inch crappie and 10 inch redear sunfish.  This was the first time that I had ever fished this lake and it now holds some pretty special memories for me as well. 

Speaking of memories, one of the purposes of this blog is to help fellow anglers hopefully make some memories of their own.  It is my hope that by posting about locations, techniques, and other information that YOU might be inspired to do something new and create your own memory that stays with you for a long time.  Maybe it is even something that you can draw from to make a long day at work a little better or share with your friends when you are sitting around swapping stories.  So if you're looking for something new to try (potentially), then I would like to suggest doing a little kayaking on Rocky Forks Lake on July 24 from 6-8:30 p.m.  The Missouri Department of Conservation is offering a FREE kayak clinic in which participants will learn about kayaking safety and techniques.  Kayaks and all necessary equipment will be provided so all you have to do is get there.  The link below doesn't say anything about fishing, but I doubt anyone from MDC is going to tell you NOT to fish.  Space for the class is limited and if you want to participate, there is a link to register for the class before July 23.
