You arent joking about Choke Canyon. Used to duck hunt Choke all the time in High school and College. There is a whole new pucker factor when you are wading in water up to your chest and a gator decides to investigate your dekes. I have several friends that still hunt the lake and when they do the dog stays at home. Just to many of the dang things swimming around, and big ones too. There used to be an old gas station down there that had several pics of 14 footers taken from the lake.

Thank you sir!

Thanks Marcus.

Gentleman, Ive been wanting to come up from NWA for sometime to fish Taney for the first time. I have a narrow 13ft Alumacraft with a 7.5 Johnson, is this adequate and enough outboard to safely fish the lake. Thanks.

I grew up in the small town of Poulsbo on the olympic peninsula across the puget sound from Seattle.

Thank you Everyone for you Replies. Looks like I need to get out and give them a try. Ill have to stop by lilleys and grab some jigs to throw as well!

First I've been lurking for awhile and finally joined the board. Ive really enjoyed reading yall's Reports. I have a question for you veterans of the lake. I grew in the Pacific Northwest fishing for lakes and streams for trout. Our go to lures were Mepps spinners and small spoons, with all the reports i've read no one seems to be utilizing either of these. Are they just not effective on Tany or did the fishery just develop as a jig fishery? would i be wasting my time coming up there and trying my tried and true techniques from the PNW?
