St. Louis County Parks and Rec. Crappie Seminars

[Jackpot]

For anyone in the St. Louis area - The St. Louis County Parks and Recreations Dept. hosts some pretty good crappie fishing seminars in late Jan. and early Feb at the Greensfelder Complex. Last year I heard boardmember Bruce Carp speak, and it got me pumped up for the Spring.

For those interested the have a Mark Twain Crappie Fishing Program at 7:30 on Jan 18 and a LOZ program at 7:30 on Jan 31. I'm not sure if their website has been updated yet, but in any event, here is the address: http://www.co.st-louis.mo.us/parks/

Happy Holidays to All!

Jackpot- The website you posted was for 2006- I think we need 2007- if they are even going to do this anymore. I was talking to Tom Hargrove when I was buying a fly rod blank and he said the man who put that on retired. I hope they still have the programs, but there were a bunch of urban ladies running the show and the guy that used to run it had to fight for every little crumb they decided to throw his way. He was miserable dealing with them, from what I heard- to much stupid immature politics (sound familiar?).

I went to Bruce's seminar there a couple years ago- and I went to Tom Hargrove's rod building workshops. They all seemed very popular to me, but if we don't have somebody on our side in that department, I don't know if the fishing programs will still keep going.

If you can confirm these taking place in 2007, I would appreciate it.

TwainGang, for some reason the website has not been updated. But, I received a newspaper insert listing the 2007 programs on the dates in my original post. Lynn Tharp is listed for the Mark Twain program and Skip Surbaugh is listed for the LOZ program.

A buddy and I fished with Skip in October while trying to learn a bit about the dam/gravois area of LOZ. Nice guy, funny. I'd be interested in hearing him at the seminar...

That's good to hear, LOZcrappie. I figure there's always more to learn.
