$40 is way out of line. Frequently it's not just one person coming in from out of state for a fishing trip, it's family. $40 each will likely hinder families from fishing.

Here's the DO chart from today. Did they start injecting oxygen? They have been running 4 units continuously and seeing a spike in DO makes me think they are injecting oxygen.

It also depends on the power of the rod; not all 5 weights are equal. There are soft 5 weights and stiff 5 weight rods.

At what point do they have to start injecting oxygen?

Here is the rig I use drifting from a boat. I use 6# Trilene Extra Tough for the first 15 -20 feet. I use 4# Berkley Vanish for the bottom 5 feet that ties onto the lower tippet ring. I rarely ever a break of upper leader. Taneycomo Drift Rig.pdf

Long term forecast shows possible rain every day for 10 days starting Wednesday. Prayers you won't get into a flood situation again. 🙏

Yes it does.

The USACE Little Rock app is showing disabled for me as well. Looks like they discontinued it. Have to navigate directly to actual web page to see past flows. https://www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil/pages/data/tabular/htm/tabrock.htm

Use the CFSWater app from the Apple app store or Google Play. It's better than the SWPA app.

Yep, Lilley's Landing/Marina will have everything you need. If they are running a lot of water the heavier jigs and jerkbaits are good. If no water generation suspending a small 1/25 to 1/50th jig under an indicator can work. Pink Power Worm under an indicator is very effective if nothing else is working (can not use it in the trophy area). Make sure you are familiar with the regulations, there are bait restrictions and fish restrictions depending on where you are on the lake. Good Luck!

December - February depending how long they have been in the lake. Although I've seen eggs in female trout later than February; must be due to the unique waters of Taneycomo. https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/rainbow-trout#:~:text=Wild trout in Ozark springs,it hard with her tail.

Last month a couple agents were checking every boat up by the dam. I don't recall their names; maybe it was them. I told them I'm glad to see you guys out here! How do I contact them if I see something nefarious going on? Thanks! Tom Ciolino

A small cheap magnetic dish works great to dry flys without loosing them.

Just wondering who is doing "the discussions"? Any reference from the MDC they may change the rules? I couldn't find any notice on the MDC site for Wildlife Code-Proposed Regulation Change, nor in the Missouri Register. Thanks!

"Empire District proposes to replace the existing 4-foot high Obermeyer gates with new 5.15-foot-high Obermeyer gates. As proposed, the water surface elevation of Lake Taneycomo would be raised from 701.35 to 702.5 feet NGVD29 when the 5.15-foot gates are fully raised." I read this is being done to address the sediment buildup problems in the lower lake. Attached is the short story. Tom Ciolino Docket P-2221-041.pdf
