Members Otis Roostertail Posted July 3, 2015 Members Share Posted July 3, 2015 My son Jacob and I hit the river at 7:00 am this morning. Six generators running - about 9400 CFS average. Plenty of water....We put it at Wildcat and went all the way up to the Chutes. I took BFTMaster's advice and bought some Zig Jigs at Harps in Mountain Home. I watched Phil Lilly's videos on Jig Fishing last night and figured I would try it.....On my third cast I caught my first rainbow of the day. Jig fishing is definitely an art and both my son and I will need a lot more practice...We had tons of bites. We got caught sleeping a bunch and did not get our hooks set. By lunch time though we had limited out.... We used different kinds of lures today. Roostertails, Zig Jigs, Rapalas, stickbaits....We caught fish on them all! When the first rain came we headed home. Happy, excited and elated. I appreciate everyone's advice, the videos and encouragement. This forum has been a blessing. I printed out the Guns and Hoses Tournament paperwork and Jacob and I will have to see if we can sneak over to Taney County for some "preview scouting" to see if we are up for the Tourney. Have a great Fourth of July! We are truly blessed to live in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! Here is a shout out to my son, John, (U.S. Army - 2nd BCT, 82nd Airborne) and all other Veteran's, both active and former.... Otis Phil Lilley, Terrierman, Plastic_worm and 1 other 4 Men and Fish are alike....They all get into trouble when they open their mouths....
