Thanks to @DaddyO for the help!

Alright!

Is it OA or AO? I thought I had created something I didn't know about (OA for Ozarkanglers).

How about now.

I think you're right, Travis. On the White River, they've been documented to feed on dead or dying stockers released by fishermen. Trout sink when they die. As for how many of these are in Taney - I bet none. The 2009 flood gate event wiped out most of the bigger browns. This brown had to have been stocked in the early 80's. Not sure when browns were first stocked here but he had to have been stocked early to get that big. Taney does have the potential again, just not sure when that will be.

No.

No... this one never made it to Lazy. Measurement on this brown were bigger than the current world brown at that time. Estimated weight was over 44 pounds.

As Table Rock nears the magic lake level of 918 feet, we all wait with baited breath to see if the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers is going to change its generation patterns. Will they start running less water? Shutting it off at night? We will see very soon. Generation has been constant with two units running in the mornings, increasing to three units mid-afternoon, then back down to two units after dark and through the night. Today, it did slow down a bit with less than two units generating this morning. Remember, some of the gates at Powersite are down, so the Corps can't keep the water totally off during the dam until Empire repairs the gates. Bull Shoals is down to 685.17 feet, just a little over five feet short of the mark where Powersite can be worked on. It's taking about three days for Bull Shoals to drop a foot right now. Trout fishing this past weekend was pretty good for most. Anglers fishing below Fall Creek did well drifting night crawlers on the bottom from the creek mouth down to Trout Hollow. Phil Stone, fishing guide, said his clients did well from Cooper Creek down to Monkey Island on crawlers. Everyone is still catching a few brown trout, but nothing longer than 20 inches was landed. Guide Tony Weldele's clients caught some nice rainbows and browns drifting from Fall Creek down to Short Creek using pink and red San Juan worms. I've gotten out and drifted #14 gray scuds in the same stretch and caught trout, too. If you didn't see the story, Morgan Wyatt, a young woman who started working for us here at Lilleys' Landing in April, caught this 10.5 pound brown on a #14 gray scud drifting about 500 yards above our dock a week ago Sunday. It's amazing a fish as big as this would take a bug as small as a #14 scud, but it did. The trophy area is still producing good numbers of trout. For fly fishing, present a dry fly along the banks, close to or under trees, and you might see some great top-water action. Hoppers in various colors and sizes, beetles, ants, Stimulators, Elk Hair Caddis and a Sofa Pillow are good choices to throw. Stripping a big streamer along the bluff banks above and below Fall Creek will create some attention, too. You'll get a lot of chasers with a hookup occasionally. When the water is running about 50 megawatts or about 704-705 feet, fish a bigger beaded fly, like a beaded scud or a Miracle Fly (egg) or even a small jig under a float with a red Zebra Midge dropper, about 12 inches below the first fly. Fish it from four- to seven-feet deep. We watched some guys fish this rig last week along the bluff across from the resort and they caught fish. I think you can use it just about anywhere, but the water has to be running fairly slowly. If the water is running more than two units, you could go further down lake, say, from well below Cooper down through the bridges. Throwing marabou jigs has been slow for me personally but I've seen and heard others doing well. Travis Smith and friends fished last week and reported doing very well throwing white 1/8th ounce jigs from the cable below the dam down to Trophy Run when the water was running more than 3 units. They used darker jigs if the water was running less than 3 units. Tom Burckhardt, St Charles, MO., caught this six-pound brown on an 1/8th ounce sculpin marabou jig down lake from the resort (secret location) last Saturday during the Guns & Hoses Trout Tournament. He and his partner, Bill Freise, won the contest. The September forecast is looking good. We've had some rains but nothing to affect the area lake levels, so we should see less and less generation through the fall months. As soon as Powersite Dam is fixed, we will start seeing mornings when the water is not running at all, may be a little water in the afternoon or evenings. But keep in mind, Beaver Lake is still very high and the Corps will at some point start lowering Beaver into Table Rock Lake. Of course, all that water has to flow through Taneycomo. I believe our dry fly bite will continue well into October, which is exciting to fly fishing enthusiasts. We are already seeing some big brown staging in the Fall Creek area. The average size of our browns have increased from last fall, so I think we'll see quite a few brown near or topping the 20-inch mark. The fall brown spawning run should continue into November, peaking about the last week in October.

Should be fixed. Better be...

A friend from KC shared this on FB. This is his son Chris posing with the brown we found dead just above our dock in either 1998 or 1999.

Thank you. Glad you caught fish ... and the weather! Wow. Nice to meet you guys.

Already seeing quite a few up there. Some staging too.

Thanks! PM Sent.

A lot of people would agree with you. It may become an issue if we see fish like that more often.

My tech guy is under the weather for a few days. There's a problem with search and IPS has given me the answer but I don't know how to implement the solution. I have to do this: While editing a group, you may not be able to save the group, and a message displayed indicating that you need to "Enter a value greater than 0." To resolve this issue, run the following query (be sure to adjust for your table prefix): update core_groups set g_dname_date=1 where g_dname_changes=0 AND g_dname_date=0 And then run the Support Tool to clear caches. Once done, upload the attached file to /applications/core/extensions/core/GroupForm/ I don't know much about databases but I did find core-groups and the settings in question. But this command - set g_dname_date=1 where g_dname_changes=0 AND g_dname_date=0 doesn't make any sense to me. Ideas? What's it mean to adjust table prefix? I have the file to upload to /applications/core/extensions/core/GroupForm/

Right- that's the same issue. I've sent another ticket it. I did find a fix for this but I'm not smart enough to carry out the task so support will have to do it. It may be a couple of days... we'll see.

Are you on a computer? Are you hitting "next" or page "2"? Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say? There's been some say they get a error saying they have to wait a certain time before "searching" again. I've been working on this.

You might ask him... I haven't deleted anything.
