Years ago while tied to a tree up the Waukie an old man and woman came putting up the roadbed. When they got about 60 feet from us the old lady yelled "THAT'S MY TREE" the guy I was fishing with being a smart ars looked up and down both sides of the tree and yelled back "MAM I DON'T SEE A NAME ANYWHERE ON THIS HERE TREE" she yelled back " IT DON'T MATTER YOU GUYS ARE FISHING MY TREE. So we stayed tied to her tree for another hour with them tied up 20 feet from us and every time we caught a crappie we made a big production out of it , like GET THE NET, IT'S A BIG ONE, If looks could kill I would not be here telling you this story. When we finally did move on I heard her yell at the old man "GET OVER THERE TO MY TREE BEFORE SOME OTHER A-HOLES DON'T GET IT.

So: now the rest of the story.
My lady friend that loves fishing claimed a tree on Clinton during the spawn. God help any one on her tree when we would go to it. You see she is a red head from Texas, need I say more?
I made up a white sign with "Cindy's Tree" written on it and screwed it to the tree, as a joke but so far we have not seen anyone tied to her tree, of course it is in only 3 FOW so it might not be any good until next spring but we do have to give it a try every time we're out there.
