Hey D-WAYNE I was wonderin when yous was gonna be down there at that taney place....maybe wes could git together and katch some slimy trout!!! Give me a jingle and well make a trip to the crawdad hole!!!
Just curiouse...with all of the high water and fishing pressure on th eupper section, has anyone tried fishing the tribs???? I would think that some of those browns would run up into fall creek and bull creek maybe? Im still in montana so i havent gotten a chance to fish down there yet. Please let me know.
If you are using them just for taney i woulkd deff. go with an amber or copper lens. I prefer the smiths and or oakleys. I use both. Backcountry outfitters has a great selection of optics. The blue and green lenses are primarily for off shore fishing and flats fishing with high intensity sunlight and glare. The copper or amber alows you to see in lower light...this is helpful in the morning as well as late in the evening. Look for a sunglass that fits your face as well as has good protection on the sides. I prefer the polycarbonite lenses because they will not shatter if a fly or split shot hits it, on the other hand the glass lenses do not scatch as easily but they are heavier. hope you find what you are looking for.
i think there is a deffinate need for both, the griffiths gnat is suppossed to simulate a ball of midges which is very effective when you see fish down at taney "rising". you would fish it dry. The crackleback is a good fly to have on windy days and or during the summer as a dry fly. You can strip the crackleback through the water and pick up lots of fish as well as let it dead drift on the surface.
great fish anyway jeremy ill take your picture all day with those fish regardless...looking forward to your forum, by the way ill add a fishing report for 7/16/07 running water sitting in the parking lot.
Has anyone seen the article in this months fly fish america??? Pretty Cool, although do you think it will bring more idiots to the water? I think it is great that taney got recognized along with Mr. Kyle from Backcountry, for its ability to produce big fish. Good article!
