Thank you all for the warm welcome. My name is Dan Schepis and I am one of the Clay County Agents. It’s a privilege to have been invited to answer some of your questions and to join the forums. My home lake is Smithville Lake and therefore I will best be able to answer questions specific to Smithville or regarding statewide fishing regulations in general. I will be checking the forum as my schedule allows and hope to provide answers to your questions in as timely a manner as possible - your patience is greatly appreciated!

I do ask one thing, a guideline you might say, for posting on this forum; Please give a breif but descriptive title that reflects each thread/question so that users may reference the forum prior to posting a new thread, asking a question that has already been answered. This will save us all time and hopefully help answer common questions in a quicker manner.
