Sure was--a report and details as in depth, type of banks, any nuances to pay attention to, etc. Not the exact location as it seemed you were looking for. If I misinterpreted that, my bad. I write plenty of very detailed fishing reports on here and give any advice I can.

Want me to catch em for you, too? 8-10 fow, body with chartreuse in it with a 1/16-ounce head.

Need to go to LOZ. Had two big limits in an hour Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. Biggest were all 1.0-1.3-lbs. Had a couple 14-inchers we let go.

Yep! I used to hang out with Villa girls in high school. Talk about spoiled, uppity SOBs. I do not talk to many anymore. They think they are on another level in society and probably think COVID is for the poor

Classic Villa parent. That's all I'll say.

I'll make sure to tell Bill he's full of it. Senile old man. Just kidding..he's good. Probably just put it under the wrong park.

Stop into Everhart's in Clinton. They should be able to point you in a good direction on a shop and any fixes! Welcome! I am in Clinton a lot. If you ever want to fish, let me know. I can show you around the area and on Truman!

A lot of people sleep on the NE for fishing. My Aunt lives on Cape Cod and you would not believe the incredible freshwater fishing on the Cape. Tons of lakes. Almost all species of trout, salmon, smallies, largemouth, pickerel. I've fished various lakes since i was a kid and every time it has been lights out. Of course, the saltwater fishing is great, too.

My cousin fishes Sparrowfoot area a lot in July and August and said it is lights out dunking around the deeper timber. Truman overall is just insane with crappie from those I talk to so I'd assume it's still great. Weaubleau creek area is producing some giants right now.

haha ended up going to Truman. Was a great decision. Thanks man!

Incredible. And yep, lakers last a long time. I don't know how, but I read once a Lake trout caught was estimated to be 75 years old!

My buddy got a new boat and wanted to "de-virgin" it as he put it so eloquently. We were going to go to Pomme de Terre but folks on here wisely steered us away due to the high, muddy water. So, we decided to try Truman. And I am glad we did. The bite was on fire from 10am-1:30 pm in the mouths of creeks in 12-18 FOW. We were throwing 2" Slab Slay'rs in red/chartreuse on 1/16-ounce jig heads from Pro Built. I really like those jig heads. We ended up with 20 or so crappie. Kept 11 good ones. Not that any were short, but we were catching big ones. We put in at Bucksaw and went west, under the 801 Rd bridge. Main way we caught them was to tie up to a tree in 15-20 fow and throw out as far as we could. Let it sink a bit, then SLOWLY wind it back to the boat. And I do mean slow. Spider riggers (which I hate fishing that way) were catching a lot so I figured this imitated it best. And it worked. We caught 6 dunking trees in 10-13 fow. The fish are putting the bag on! I caught my two best crappie ever in Missouri. One was 1.6-lbs and the other 1.4-lbs. One was a male, too! Going to be a banner year on Truman again for crappie I do believe.

Thanks for the info everyone. Saved me some gas money!

Yea I think we may just say screw it and I'll fish the strip pits and coyote hunt. Sounds like we are a couple weeks away from good fishing. Or at least when water clears up.

Dang and we were going to put in at Nemo lol. Might just fish the strip pits

Cool. Any idea on FOW?

Well dang. Try and secondary points?

Fishing Pomme de Terre Sunday with my buddy. I have only ever been there once to target muskie. Any tips on crappie, bass and walleye right now? I have zero experience on this lake. Any tips are much appreciated!

I always go to Fitz's since it's close to where I fish. Never had any issues there, but granted I've only been in 15-20 times. I honestly don't know anywhere else that's worth a darn near the dam area. I always wonder why tackle shop owners like to act like d***s. It's to their detriment.

Oh yea that is very true!

MGD, too. Living.

Did we ever bring up "walk this way" from Young Frankenstein? As stupid as it is, it might be the most I've laughed ever.

Grandpa always says "it'll make a turd."

I posted this tidbit on a Facebook group but wanted to post it here. This is one of the essential ways I learned to fly fish on Taneycomo. I have been fishing Taneycomo since I was able to walk. Videos of me on the banks of The Mistress, as I call her, moving around in a walker are out there somewhere. I caught my first fish on the lake (a sucker) and have been fishing it ever since. It holds a special place in my heart. A moment that truly sticks out from the rest is from June 2002. I was a young, 11-year-old kid cutting my teeth on fly fishing by outlet two. I tried to imitate everybody I saw. How they casts their flies, how they stood, and how they carried themselves. Gramps always liked to get away from the crowds and wade out into deeper water. Me being short and young--I stayed near the outlets. I caught a lot of fish, don't get me wrong, but I was young. One day while wading near the outflow of outlet two, a white-haired man came over and said, "Son, do you mind if I give you a few pointers?" I said of course. I was, and still am, always eager to learn. He told me to back up from where the fish were, get rid of my indicator and use a tiny split shot on my scud to get it on the bottom. I caught fish after fish while he stood there and coached me, netted fish for me, and told me how good of a job I was doing. He helped me for hours, all while never wetting his line. It was amazing. I thanked him profusely, as did my grandpa when he came to pry my wader boots off the rocks for dinner that night. The lessons I have learned from that day in June 2002 still resonate with me and I always think "what would he do?" when fishing Taney. If you have fished Taney for a while, you probably already know who I am talking about. I learned, years later, the nice man that helped me was a legend named Duffy.

Thawed out some tukey bfast sausage tonight @BilletHead. Sure keeps well in the freezer. So good.
