Thanks for the heads up. My trip is in two weeks, maybe the shad will be moving through the dam by than. I show 35 for every hour on Saturday and Sunday. I look at http://www.swpa.gov/generationschedules.aspx, but would love to get the APP. What is it? Thanks!

It looks like the generation has been running some each day. 35 all throughout the weekend. I guess this means 1/2 of unit open or around half. Hopefully it keeps up. I have 1/32 and 1/64 jigs. From reading articles it appears that slow jigging and/or float jigging is a very popular way to catch larger trout. Sounds like a safer C/R method vs bait fishing. Has anyone seen shad kill on the lake? I read that I will want to switch to white jigs instead of sculpin (brownish red) jigs. We are still going to be targeting suckers with night crawlers off the bottom. Could also be a good way to get a brown. Bought some size 8 mustad hooks. Super sharp, hopefully I will be sinking it into several white suckers mouths! Have a great Monday everyone!

I belive your right, gigging closes Jan 31st. We just worm fish for suckers. I went to college at MSU and made plenty of sucker trips down to taney. Ultra lights with drift rigs, just a tiny piece of worm on a really sharp small hook. Something they can suck off ground. Get ready for a fight! I belive the state record white sucker was caught in taneycomo. Looking forward to my trip, I will be sure to share pics! Thanks everyone!

Thanks Phil. I always enjoy your reports and videos. From what I read, several people only fish on the weekends and fish are still being caught regardless of generation schedule. Its a good sign that they are running the water all week, plenty of oxygen that might or might not fuel the bite for the weekends. Hopefully I can find a group of White Suckers, but I am not too sure how the generation schedule affects that particular species. I will continue to read and learn. Thanks again for your quick reply! God Bless!

I am hoping for an early Feb trip to Lake Taneycomo. I noticed that generation is ONLY happening on the weekdays. I can only fish on the weekends, has the fishing be significantly slower on the weekends, due to lack of generation? Any tips to fishing below Fall Creek on the weekends would be greatly appreciated. Fishing for Rainbows, Browns and White Suckers. New to the group, so any tips would be helpful. Thank you!
