Does anyone know where to hit hickory creek I am planning a trip down there but I don't know anything about it

Welcome! This site is great and informative!

Had the chance to swing down to dairy country and get a look at the lower wire road access! Its very pristine down there. I drifted a Crystal nymph for an hour and managed to land one five inches about a half mile down from the bridge. It was my second trip to crane and I've caught fish both times. I love that place...

Wow! Stickers are turning into bass

Capps was clear today lots of spin fishers though. They have been fishing it hard. I walked half a mile and found fifteen or so in a deep log filled hole. No one else I talk too caught any. The biggest I caught was 19inches on a Bh prince

No prob I'll be there tmrw too

had a chance to get down to Capps creek conservation area this past saturday. river wAs in great shape and aside from the sprinkle I had a!very productive day. I brought 27 rainbow to hand. Thy varied in size from 4in to 17. I even had a 20 plus grab my fly and then run on Back into an undercut bank. I dead drifted an olive wooly bugger and to a fish every three casts. bite died about 12pm and I headed home. I found most fish in deep runs along banks that were dirt then dropped off to 4 or five feet of water. the dead drift was more productive then stripping it back. If i dig idn't get a hit on Drift I bounced it at the end and they'd take it then. Great fishery for small fly tackle. I used my 7ft full flex or is with some two lb flouro.

This would be Taneycomo

This time of year brings to mind my youth on the niAngua. Getting up a 4am to head to my favorite root wad to catch rainbows one after another. So tomorrow I'll be getting up at four am and making the 1 and a half hour trek to the niAngua below Ben net to try and do it like I did 15year ago. This time with my fly gear and no annoying little brother. If anyone wants to join I'll start by the 64bridge and end up at Barclay eventually. Little gold ranger

So I aim to try Capps creek in the next day or two. Does anyone have any tips to where they will be with water so low out there?

Used!scuds and crackleback (grizzled) gray on a scud.

Fly fishing the Brown run was great! It seems that they are just starting to move up and are getting aggressive now! Had great time Tuesday land a 20inch bow and a 18 in Brown saw some big ones though! One looked to be near ten lbs . Hope to make it back to Taneycomo soon to possibly night land a monster for the photo wall!

Tim, I am new to the whole world that is fly fishing and i wanted to tell you that your advice as well as a kind couple of guys on the roaring river know what you are talking about!!! i went out yesterday with my fly rod and some mild anxiety for having never been to roaring river and having only used my flyrod to land one trout. I arrived around 730am at your fly shop only to see you werent yet open. So i headed on down to purchase a tag from the store. I noticed they had a decent selection of flys and i recalled your report on what was working the best and made a purchase. I picked up three B.W.O. , an adams, and a wooly bugger(black). i then headed to the picnic area across the street for i had no clue where to go. I played down there for about an hour without luck and one lost bwo. i had a few strikes but no takers. I decided i was in the wrong place and i headed to zone three to spin cast and get my bearings. i caught three nice rainbows on a black rooster tail and three small on orange power egss. this was great but i felt defeated on the fly rod. So i headed back to the picnic area where i ran into a guy catching a rainbow every other cast. i asked him what he was using and he said crackleback and we had a nice conversation. i tried a crackle down the stream a ways and caught one right off the batt. i recalled that it was one of the flies you had recommended and i had renewed faith in my skills so i headed down below the big bridge in the catch and release zone. i tied on a bwo and fun ensued. Caught about 25 in a hundred yard area. thanks for the advice and i am a roaring river fan for good now. Fly fishing was everything i was hoping it could be for me!!

how do you get to the pothole? im really gonna try the fly fishing for whites and wallys this spring and i have been to the dam down ther but never to the pothole.
