Taneycomo Magic


Recommended Posts

Fished for a week on Taney May 27-June 3rd and did great. Midges, scuds, egg flies, jerkbaits and the like worked well. But I know Chuck Gries well and hung around his fly shop for hours each day. Met two guys who wanted to night fish. Told them to meet me at Outlet One at 8:30 pm. They showed. We fished, drank beer, and chatted.

Turns out one guy was one of the first Navy SEALs ever and the other trains other countries on underwater mine demolition. Super cool guys. The trainer has top government clearance and didn't give me any information on aliens, sadly. Just the magic of the great lake. Would not have fished with those guys ever if I wasn't around. We exchanged numbers and now they want to get together whenever they are in town. Both live on the east coast. 

I've met some of the best people of my life via the outdoors, and this one doesn't disappoint!

Oh, and they both caught two 20-inchers at night. They're hooked!
