  1. We've had ONE spot on the trip open up. So if there's one person who wants to jump in, now's the time! June 23 -- 30, Saturday to Saturday.

  3. Just wanted to make sure you guys, who are planning on coming, see that we've changed the location of the gathering. Because of the cold weather, we thought it best to go somewhere we can get out of the cold. At Lilleys' Landing, I have a room open on the lake front - #15. If you're not aquainted with the resort, ask in the office. It's open any time that morning and all day. Let me know you're getting this message and can still come. Thanks
  4. Someone has suggested today that we may consider changing the location of our meeting. If it’s too late to, I understand. Our pavilion at the resort is open. We don’t have many people staying here right now. We also have a couple fires going in our new fire rings. Rest rooms are close. If it’s too cold we could move inside. What you all think?
  5. Fly patterns tied on jig hooks with oversize tungsten beads have become a mainstay of White River fly fishing since the advent of minimum water flow rates. As the heaviest fly in a multi-fly nymph rig the "Euro-style Jigs" work as a camouflaged split shot with the added advantage of a hooking point, to carry lighter nymphs, sowbugs, soft hackles and midges where they need to be. Fish these in euro-style or traditional indicator rigs, wading or floating. The wire bodies sink fast, and tied this way are extremely durable.

  6. I can bring a couple of propane heaters if needed.
  7. The creel study is lake wide. Their questioners are both on foot below the dam and in a boat. We see them all the time.
  8. Shane Bush, Fisheries Management Biologist Lake Taneycomo was formed by the construction of Powersite Dam (Ozark Beach Dam) in 1913 and is Missouri's oldest hydroelectric reservoir. The lake is riverine in nature, 22 miles in length and encompasses 2,080 surface acres. Prior to 1958, Lake Taneycomo supported one of Missouri's best warm-water fisheries. This changed in 1958 when Table Rock Dam, located in the headwater of Lake Taneycomo, began discharging cold hypolimnetic water into Lake Taneycomo. The discharge of cold water changed Lake Taneycomo into a cold-water environment, providing good conditions for trout. <Read More> View full article
  9. No walleyes now, just trout. It's not bad.
  10. Wow, Norm wasn't that old. 60 years. He was Norm M here. Last post was Nov 15. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/wandering-with-norm-minas-access-points-to-a-fishing-and-life/ He posted this link to an article.
  11. Taney is partially a "put, grow and take" lake.
  12. There's no imit on snows and blues.... and the piles of ducks and geese - my friends killed that many yesterday (42 ducks and some geese). There were 7 hunters. 42 was their limit of ducks.
  13. Guess SE Kansas is covered up with them. Friend of mine is doing well over there.
  14. Yes. Strange it doesn't show up for me on the initial post even if I try to edit it. I may need to turn in a trouble ticket.
  15. Duane bought a couple of these jackets just before we headed out to Kansas bird hunting. And man... they are nice! Wondering if anyone else has bought one. Seems like they'd be perfect for real cold weather - hunting or fishing. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Extra-Large-M12-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Realtree-Xtra-Heated-Jacket-Kit-221C-21XL/207171089
  16. Is it the blue boat in your profile?
  17. Dally's Ozark Fly Fisher's Steve Dally's articulated version of the synthetic baitfish pattern, the Bush Pig. The Twerking Minnow is a pattern worked best mid-water column, with either Optic style Eyes or deep with a Bait Fish Head. It's tough, durable with a lively action. So far its scored on trophy Brown trout, big rainbows, bass and stripers, plus Russian Taimen. Once again a uge thanks to Brian Wise of Fly Fishing the Ozarks (check out his channel) for his camera work, production and all around sense of lunacy.

Articulation: 50lb Mono & Dally's Streamer Balls Head: S/M Fish Skull Baitfish Head or 8.5mm Fish Skull Living Eyes & UV Glue
  18. Rainy's fly designer Steve's original single Hippy Chick has been a popular pattern for a small single streamer for trout and bass, if you downsize the original monster lead eyes (designed for deep drifting under an indicator) to something more castable. Well we have finally got around to producing this video for the articulated version, a great 6wt streamer for banging the banks on rivers across the west and south, either from a drift boat or wading. There is mucho action built in from the flowing marabou, the wiggly articulated tail and the jiggy weighted head, plus the veiled flash from the palmer chenille internals. It's also relatively snag free riding hook point up. Go throw it into harms way and hold on.

  19. Mine was the one and only 15 incher.
  20. I tried to keep it as narrow as I could- hence rainbows only. And I put MO/AR to cover the White too, even though you might consider it differently than other trout fisheries.
  21. Guess I should define a "trophy". This would be a rainbow that you would feel real good about catching. It's not a wall-hanger... just a trout that you would consider an above average, nice catch. Again, this is very subjective. I'm sure we won't even agree on what a trophy is. But for the sake of this poll... we'll try.
  22. May be I should post this in Trout Talk.. but I think everyone will find it. I know this poll is subjective... it depends on where you're fishing, I think, what's a nice trout when caught. A 10-inch rainbow caught on Crane Creek would be a trophy to most people. So this would be a rainbow trout in general.
  23. I'm starting a poll. One thing that's always mentioned when talking about "trophy fish" is size... what size would you call a trophy trout? Bass? Walleye?
  24. Thanks
