Thanks for posting- esp the pics. There are several guys who fish below Bagnell. If you don't get your answer here, ask it on the Bagnell forum.

Thanks for posting- welcome to the forum.

Only got out for a couple of hours mid day. Was slow for me. noon-2 pm. I wanted to catch it before they brought on the 2nd unit but didn't. 2 units. Drifted once from Lookout to Narrows and only saw one rainbow against the bluff bank. Caught him. #8 grey stimulator. Could not get my hand around him... was very thick. Fought very hard. Boated to the dam but stopped at Big Hole on the north side. Threw a 1/8th oz sculpin jigs around the dead water on the side and caught this small mouth bass. He didn't want to come in either. Saw him jet off the bank and take the jig. Nothing else. Had one other bite drifting down to KOA.

Excellent post!! Welcome to the forum. We look forward to many more informative posts from you! Phil

No- went to Springfield with Marsha. To Sams.

Yes- been doing it for a couple of years now. Was in a hurry when I posted the report. The water was coming up -- it was actually running higher than I like to fish a dry along the bank. They were running one unit when I left the house but was rising when I got up there. I try to hit the pockets and seams along the bank. There was quite a bit of leaf matter floating, esp when the wind picked up. I didn't see any rising at all. Only saw 2 rainbows and I caught both. The nicer one- he refused it the first drift but I was able to get another cast to him and he turned and took it. Cool. He was pushing 19 inches and did not want to come in. The second was holding close to the surface and he just took it when I drifted it over him. Gotta do that more often!!

Got off the lake just in time... pouring rain here and some hard winds. But it will end shortly. Did manage to catch 2 rainbows on a stimulator against the bluff bank below Lookout... 2 units running this morning. One drift- all I had time for.

If that's the worse thing I've done... I'm doing good. No spell checker on Photoshop! Don't hold your breath waiting for me to fix it... I got bigger fish to fry!! Thnaks!

Blue gill are not a game fish in Missouri and thus can be used for bait. Most commonly used for catfish on trot and limb lines.

I took a father and two sons out this afternoon for about 2 hours. We started at the dam and drifted almost to our place. Egg flies first and then gulp eggs at Fall Creek. Only picked up nice rainbow right at the start. The water was coming on strong and there were lots of stuff in the water so maybe that's why we didn't do well. Took a short break at the resort and then back at it. Drifted down from the dock and immediately started catching rainbows on Gulp Eggs - white/orange mainly. The boys each caught fish and so did dad. 11 in all from Lilleys down past Taneycomo Acres on one drift. Quite at 5 pm. So catching isn't as "fair" as I reported the other day. Had a family fish yesterday late afternoon and report the same thing - good drifting when the water gets up and rolling. They even went down to the old gold mine below Branson and did well.

I'll need names and addresses of all who donate flies please. Thanks!

3 years and first post... pretty amazing. Have to tell us a fishing story or two.

I pulled a tube from 2 till 4 today above K Dock and didn't see any whites. But that's too early. No other boats recreating, a couple fishing. Pretty quiet. You know, I bet there are some whites at the pothole in the evening with the water running! That cool water may be the key.

Francisco Samuel http://springfield.cardinals.milb.com/milb...&pid=501740 This guy pitched one inning last night. All night I was watching the speed gun... no one pitched over 90, most 84. This guy came in and his first pitch was 00. We thought... was that 100? Then 103! Then 104!! He couldn't throw strikes though. Just not sure if the gun was right. If so, he may go places if he can learn to control location.

I'm going to give it 24 hours and then I'll close it. I don't like closing topics - I'll do it only under extreme situations. This is not one... but I'll do it for Bill since he's requested it.

Duane called me Sunday morning. He said they killed a bear in camp on Friday night. On Thursday night, Duane was woken at 2 am by a crashing noise. A bear had taken the back door of the dining hall off its hinges and was in the storage area helping himself to goodies inside. Duane said he entered the front door and grabbed the shotgun on the rack. Unfortunately, the shells were, yes, in the storage room. He bluffed the bear back out the door and went for the shells. The bear decided to leave so no shots were fired. Friday night is Eddies night - everyone at camp heads to town for dinner. Not long after they ordered their food, Jim's cell phone rang. Rob, their neighbor, had gone down to camp to check his cabins when he saw a bear at the back door of the dining hall, door on the ground. Jim, Duane, John and Mona headed back to camp. Rob also called another neighbor, Allen, who is a federal park ranger. With both Allen and Rob armed, they put one bullet in the bear, only wounding it. It ran to the west behind the dining all into a low, bushy area. When Jim and company arrived, they spread out, with firearms and surrounded the bear. Finally it made a break for it and was shot, killed. Duane said it took them till 2 am to skin the bear. It was over 800 pounds. They took the head, skin and feet to Fish & Game and filled out a report. He found out that their bear was the 8th nuisance bear killed this summer in the area.

Is it Lymes?

The most common problem is trying to upload images that are too large.

Show me on a map where you're going and I'll start now... You always catch fish so I'm sure it's a good place.

We posted this on the Taneycomo Forum but I thought some of you Table Rock guys might be interested in helping out... you do know how to fish for trout, right??!? Here's the schedule: Sept. 19th - Saturday: 6:30a - Eat Breakfast 7:30a - Head out to Lake T. to fish 11:30a - Return to Lodge to have lunch 12:30p - Head out to Lake T. to fish 4:30p - Return to Lodge 6:00p - Come to pavillion for dinner 8:00p - Leave for Hits of the 60's Show 20th - Sunday: 6:30a - Eat Breakfast 7:30a - Head out to Lake T. to fish 11:30a - Return to Lodge to have lunch 12:30p - Head out to Lake T. to fish 4:30p - Return to Lodge & have awards for day 6:00p - Meet at pavillion for dinner 7:00p - Awards presentation 7:30p - Fly Tying (location TBD) We need guides for both Saturday and Sunday. You don't have to be a official guide, just a fisherman with a boat to take one soldier fishing. Rods will be provided. Now, these guys would like to fly fish BUT just catching fish will be a plus so... bait is allowed! I'd like to get enough guides to take one soldier in each boat - that's 10 guides each day. So if you can only do one day, that'd be great. These are soldiers that have been injured/disabled in war. It's a real honor to do this. Let me know so I can put you down! Thanks, Phil
