Announcing the NEW IdoFishing.com….RETRO!

Back from 10 years ago…the same look and feel of time gone by!

There are a quite a few guys around that still remember the old Fish the River.com So here’s a blast from the past for you and for newer members that would like to see what the “in” guys were talking about back in 2000.

FTR Tip of The Day:
Despite the fact that the waters of the Mississippi River are murky, anglers frequently report outstanding results with jigheads or lures in very dark colors such as black, brown, dark green, and purple. These dark colors actually contrast well against the water and make it easier for the walleye to pick out your offering.

A Trip Back in Time<<<

Man, it must have been frustrating back then. I tried posting a reply and it didn’t work.

I just fell into the wayback machine… and survived. Thanks BK.

I DO NOT miss the wwwthreads message board.

It’s St Croixers fault, you can thank him.

But your welcome ~H20~.

Thanks Brian, I remmember getting home from work in the morning and patiently waiting for my dial up internet to connect so I could surf a little “fish the river” with a cold one before bed. Good memories….

Wow! That makes me remember when I could not get my old machine to get er done sometimes 10 years and better ago!!

Glad I don’t have thoses issues anymore!

Saw the Moving Waters add on the internet in fall 2000 and tried to book a trip the following spring with James…no dice as the river was well above flood stage…

Came back and tried again in July and hit a windless 100 degree burner of a day… remember that James?

We must have drank two cases of James diet Mountain Dew…

I came back in April 2002 and had a blast pitching chart/green core ringies into the high waters of P-4!

I joined the Staff shortly afterward…

where’s the “headwaters”?? oh yeah, that came a little later. then, then it was legit!!

thx for the flashback mr catfishr

You’re welcome Jon. Good to see you again.

And Tom? You still haven’t learned how to post a photo with out stretching the page!

I think I heard the IT guys talking about the site auto shrinking photos that were too large…after all it is 2010.

Wow, i remember spending some time on that one. How things have changed!

The best part is that none of us has aged at all.
Fishing must be good for mind, body and soul.

Look there’s another .’01 registered user besides James, I mean H2O…

We purchased our 1st computer in 01 and it wasn’t to long after that I found FishtheRiver.com. Soon after that was my 1st trip to fish pool 2.

I still have a unused decal around somewhere from Fishthe River.

I was registered in May of ’01—-gosh, I feel older than ever now. I am so old I remember when James put in 40 days straight fishing Pool 4 every Spring. He always took mercy on the guy with that bratty kid in tow and gave us some pretty darn good advice—thanks James for all the effort you have put into this site over the years

I’m another 01 Been an enjoyable ride

10 years? Wow! I had not idea this place was that old. Furthermore, it’s hard to believe it was more than a decade ago that Al Gore first gave us the internet.

Another ’01er here…#33…I even invested in the start up gratis, just to keep it going…Gold, Silver, Bronze Site Supports…thanks for doing the same!
