    Taneycomo Mon Jan 8, 2008

    By Greg,

    Well our trip to Mountain Home to the White river didn't materialize. We had something come up on Sunday and so we decided not to go. Maybe in the next few weeks.

    We did make it to Taney on Monday. I fished my wife shopped in Branson. Pretty decent day. It rained a few times but not for long. I started up by the dam just below outlet #2 - I was surprised at the # of fisherman there on a weekday. Caught a few fish and then walked quite a ways down river. Caught maybe 20 or 25 trout in the 5 hours I fished. A few small browns and the rest rainbows. Several decent rainbows in the 15 to 17" range.

    Bennett Spring

    By Greg,

    Fished Bennett Spring today. I haven't fished with dry flies in a while so I had promised myself I'd spend at least an hour or 2 just fishing dries. It went pretty well. Caught 7 in an hour and a half using a #20 Griffins gnat. It was a lot of fun. It's kind of amazing how selective the trout park stocked trout can get over the winter catch and release season. The drift had to be just right with no drag whatsoever or they just wouldn't take. Those that say stocker trout are always easy at the parks or at Taney just don't know what they are talking about.

    Probably caught 10 or 12 total in 3 1/2 hours. When I switched to nymphs I caught several too. One was a pretty nice approx 17" male rainbow with a big kype. Saw several big browns but did not catch any.

    Beautiful day. Not too cold. I still like Taney the best but Bennett Spring is a nice change of pace. Some other fisherman but definitely not crowded. For some reason Bennett does seem more relaxing than Taney to me (at least in the winter).

    Tina (my wife) and I have several days off starting Jan 3. I think we are going to head to Mountain Home for a couple of days and fish the White. We're both in serious need of some R/R.

    Christmas

    By Greg,

    Dec 27, 2007

    My family and I had a good Christmas. Hope everyone else did too. My kids got everything they wanted and more.

    I've been fishing at Taney the last couple of Sundays after not getting to fish for several weeks due to work being so hectic and the weather. The fishing has been pretty good. I had forgotten how fun winter fishing can be if the weather is not too cold. I can tolerate it if it is above freezing pretty well. I can't generally find someone to go with me in the winter (they think I'm crazy) but that's OK I enjoy the solitude too. 2 weekends ago I caught several nice fish in the 18" range 3 rainbows and a brown. And lots of fish in the 13 to 15" range. This past Sunday was good as well but nothing large at all.

    Going to try to post an entry every week or so and see how this goes.
