Yep got your note. Should've went up there first but instead I wandered all the wY down to shoal creek looking for a fish who hadn't seen a person. Found some but didn't connect. The creek has changed so much I hardly recognize it down there. I wonder of they have even stocked that creek this fall?

I mo wd three decent browns but didn't stick any solid and moved four rainbows way down toward shoal creek. The guy fishing by the bridge caught five with worms and marshmallow including a big rainbow . Slow day. Went up by dam and caught a goggle eye for my trouble. Saw rainbows doing the spawning dance by the bridge up there. They were not interested Ina fly

One of my best days down there was 22 degrees and snowing. I caught so many fish I couldn't keep count. Thy mustve just dumped them in. It was in November I believe

I think you are probably right. It has been really weak last couple years. Bucket brigade wipes them out ND the resident fish are pretty smart. I always move a big brown in a couple spots though. And there are a few spots where some big rainbows always hide. Hope it's not 19 degrees and bad fishing lol

I'll probably be there sir. Can't miss out on the the shot at stream cred lol

That's what the map showed. Thanks Ollie. You doing your Ollie extravaganza this year?

Anyone know anything about the stream stretch above jolly mill ? Also cn you fish in the big pool above the dam? Always wondered but never looked into it

I'll be checking the creek Sunday after Thanksgiving. Hope there are a few fish around. Last few years been few and far between.

Yeah the fast spot across from outlet three was unproductive for me this go round except one rainbow. Then moved to outlet to find fish and sandy . Once water came on there was a good bite. I'd prefer there be only me 😂

First week of October is the week I generally get down when the browns really take off

Yep combat fishing. . . Especially in the outlets . Tons of fish both rainbows and browns up there. It was the busiest I've seen the dam area on a Wednesday this time of year. Can't imagine what next week will be like.

These kids don't have hobbies so if I can introduce to them an outdoor activity that is what I will do. The kid in this picture is trying to get in shape and plays Frisby golf and soccer and has lost 150 pounds. He is a good kid.

Report Theboutlwts still suck in so much as it is combat fishing lol. Caught most fish today on tan scud. Only the one brown. Saw a ton of browns down closer to rear and thy moved up some as thy turned on the water. Before the water came on it was tough going. Once they put on a little flow the fishing greatly improved. The kid i took caught his first two trout on fly rod. Pretty good day. Wish I was going to be down next week with sandy but life goes on. Also I was surprised how many people were there for a Wednesday in September. Last year on 5 th of October there were half the people

Pete I'll be down Wednesday if you're around. Finally learn your secret 😂

It is weird how fixated on browns we are but just not quite as fixed on the big rainbows in Taney... interesting stuff and might warrant a trip in January if the water is off.

So on Taney probably November December and then again in spring

If the browns on tany run in the autumn...when do the big rainbows make their spawning efforts?

I would like to finally break the 10 lb mark this year. Broke two off last year and landed a 7 lb brown and two over 5lbs. I'm taking a young man with me who has never really fished much before. He hs been one time to crane creek with me. So this should b exciting

Hope to be down next wednesday morning to find some brown trout. Any being seen up near trophy area yet?

Good report! Can't wait until the end of September

The problem here AL is that thise fringe ideologically possessed people are the ones driving the talking points on both right ad left. I had an insane conversation with a youth theother day. She informed me that IVF is murdering babies or attempting to make designer babies.... she was completely ignorant if the science of biology just the same as a lefty is unaware that men have different chromosomes. How do you bridge the gap ? When someone has become so ideologically bent it is hard to get in and really is it worth trying ? The answer is yes. But also the bifurcation has made that hard and has made it seem as if there are only two parties and you hve to pick one. Personally I vote more conservative fiscally and traditionaly liberal on social issues when they are actually relevant. We as a society need to stop dragging ideology to th top and focus more on real issues. The government is too big to deal with issues without trying to placate the ideologues from every walk of life.

In this trying political and economic climate, it seems hard to find common ground with people who have opposing viewpoints of the ways to solve the problems. However, we Re all here on this platform to share our common love of fishing and the outdoors... seems kinda silly that we can all love something so much while thinking the others are swine. I posit that if we can connect over fishing or hunting that there must be som similarities to our lives and conditions. So when you are approaching a political topic( ots a major election year) why not assume that the person you just were liking a picture of or a post of might in fact have an idea you hadn't thought of. Or perhaps approaching it with the care of listening to them before responding in a critical manner. Of we can see the others points and convey back to them our understanding of it we can find a way to help them see our own views in the same light. It's a crazy world but if we can find common ground in nature then why not try to at least understand where our fellow citizens are coming from. Socio economic status or travel or service can really drive world views so be mindful of that. People don't remember what you said they remember how it made them feel. . . So be open minded but have the resolve to stand your ground with courtesy. The world is a crap shoot right now so we need to be united if we want to solve the many problems. That being said I choose freedom every time
