Hey Big Red Bill Babler has a great article on jig and float in the Taney article section which will answer your questions. I like pink during heavy generation and olive or sculpin in light or no generation. You need to fool around with presentation to see what they want, a light breeze will give the micro jigs plenty of action under a float. Phil has lots of the micros in his shop.

If you can swing it, go by Lilleys and rent a boat if they are generating a lot of water. That will beat Christmas shopping every day.

I use the TFO rod that you describe (4 pc 9 ft 5 wt) and use it a lot at tany. For the price that you seek, it is a good deal. Make sure that you but a good flyline to go with it. Good luck

Do not use the crappie rod for muskies

By the Landing, I am sure that you mean Branson Landing and not Lilleys. If you are down in Branson, you need to stop at Scottys and look up Lamar , He has a real nice layout, cold ac in the summer, clean place with snacks, lures and bait and is just a real nice guy. Further up steam, Lilleys is the place to stop. There are lots of places to eat at Bransons Landing if you are looking for a sit down meal or a place to strech your legs. I ate once at the place right on the water next to the boat dock and it was ok, not great for the price.

Thanks for correcting my error, Gavin. I did not realize it was catch and release in some lakes. It would be interesting to track how many of those trout survive until Jan 31. Not very many, I would guess.

I believe that any bait is ok.

Beautiful Sucker, Phil

Hey Phil Perhaps you could add a seperate section to the web site called "Dogs that I have shot" or somrthing similar. A dog walks into a bar and says "Who shot my paw?"

There is a ramp below outlet 3 at the hatchery. I would not use it unless the water is high, depending on your boat. No other public ramps between there and cooper creek.

Man You country folk sure live hard lives. Gunplay over dogs? Wife held in house by a pack? Dodging bullets to catch catfish? I guess I am glad to live in the suburbs and visit the Ozarks. George p.s. I am sure that running packs of dogs are a serious issue, but one that is so far afield from my problems that it semms incredible.

I have gone thru this math before, but I would be interested any reactions. I have seen a heron eat 3 trout in a row, lets say they eat 3 a day. There are at least 100 heron in upper tany(maybe 2x or 3x that many) 300 trout a day 2100 trout a week 109,200 trout a year maybe many more. Any Fly patterns featuring heron feathers?

Hey SOI3 How could you forget my all time favorite post on this or any other forum? Good Stuff and a nice effort on the daylight savings time deal.

Hey SOI3 Your daylight savings time reasoning makes a lot of sense to me. Man, I have loved that excuse forever George

Hey Rich That is really good news, thanks for the report. How fast was the water, how many units were running, do you know? It is always a thrill when Mr Lilley asks you about how and where to catch trout. George

Hey Gunner Thanks so much for the help. Will be there Thursday. George

Hey Phil Unbeleivable, those rams. A little leadership goes a long way I guess. We did a joint birthday party for mom(10-31) and dad(9-21) after the game, it was great. Sorry to read your report on tany, those are some sick looking fish. Does not seem to be any quick fix to the problem. Are you seeing a lot of dead/dying fish? Based on that it does not look like we will be down this fall, a warm winter weekend may be the ticket. All my best to you and your family George

Hey Phil At Mom's on the way to the rams game, didn't want to log her out as she has trouble logging back in. Someone stold my rams team and they had imposters playing today. Hey Gunner, thanks for the advice Fishing those minnows on the bottom? How deep is it? Will post my results Thanks George

Hi Rolan How do you weight those #8's ? George Steffen

Feathercraft in St Louis has small jigs in a variety of sizes, some painted. They have a web site. Good Luck

How are bigred and I going to convert the chief under these rules? I felt that we were so close

Words of the great uniter From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' From Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' From Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.' From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.' 'I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial.' - Barack Obama.
