Terry Last time I was there, I fished that same area. Yesterday I stayed up on the upper end of the park. Caught lots of fish. duckydoty

I have not fished TR in years, but accourding to Bill's reports-Now Is The Time To Fish! I'm having a real problem living down here. I told the wife in November that the fishing was just about done. Then I find out there is a rainbow run. After that the water came up at Taney, and I found out about the wonderful fishing at the trout parks during the catch and release season. Now I'm learning about the walleye run at Powersite and the great bass fishing at Table Rock happening right now. Oh and by the way, they started not generating again at Taney. So much fishing to do, I dont have a chance to tie flies anymore. And getting some sleep---Forget about It Oh, I almost forgot--I love fishing Taney in the snow! duckydoty

The 14th wont be good And the 15th Michael is having his streamer fishing seminar at Back Country Outfitters that I would like to attend. Friday or Saturday evening would be great for me. duckydoty

Thom, I'd be happy to do a little night fishin on Taney. Give me a call 417-353-2259 duckydoty

I was supposed to take my son and all of his buddies fishing today, but they chickened out this morning. They were scared of getting cold. Well, I had all the stuff packed, and I aint scared of a little cold, so I went by myself. Pulled in the parking lot around 7:45 A.M. and got my things together. Decided to start with an olive pine squirrel conehead at the metal bars below the outlet. There is a monster sittin under there. Got him to take a look one time, but he never committed. Caught two 14" right off the bat and spent a long time trying to work the big one on every streamer in my box. Decided to move up to outlet 2 and changed to a blood midge. Tore them up there. Went to outlet 1 and caught a few. Ran into rvconrad and talked with him for a while. He has some great stories of monsters he caught this catch and release season. Decided to go all the way down to the bridge and see what was in the water. Saw quite a few large ones. I guess they all had sore mouth fron Leonard on Friday and they didn't want to play today. Ended up leaving at noon and had a great time. Terry, I was looking for ya Duckydoty

Nice fish!!! Terry, I'll be there. Leaving Nixa a 6:30 A.M. with a full truck of kids Gonna fish till noon duckydoty

Dano, Leonard gave me a call about 2:30 P.M. to rub it in. I'm glad you confirmed below the outlets. Sometimes I wonder if he messin with me duckdoty

If you check out that site, look at the rookie of the year winner from last year. They also have the rookie salmon fly tiers that do some pretty awesome work too. duckdoty

Good report guys. I'll get all the boys I'm taking there in the morning all fired up now duckydoty

Maybe they will shut her down some more at night. Thats the 1st time since the storms that I've seen no generation. duckydoty

I was thinkin of going to Roaring River in the morning---Might have to fish Taney tonight and through the morning Ooh! Ooh! I seen some snow flakes! duckdoty

Was looking at the trout cam and it looked like the water was moving slow so I called the dam and 0 units generating right now. Wonder how long that will last??? duckdoty

Very impressive flies this year! Salmon flies and realistics just blow my mind. duckydoty

If you can get the skins at Hobby Lobby for $4.00-------Does anyone have any good tips for making strips????? Whats the best way to cut the strips without cutting and loosing all the hair. Do you cut with razor blades from the hair side or the hide side? I can go through some whole hides real fast when I get to tying up bunny leeches. Duckydoty

Terry, I'll be there Saturday with my son and a couple of his friends. Will fish til about noon. Gonna wait for the reports on Friday before I decide where I'm gonna fish Duckdoty

I fish with a fly rod real close to outlet 1 or 2 and at night when less crowded. fish right on the breaking line of the fast and slow water with some extra weight and a dropper. Duckydoty

I've seen guys build duck hunting layout boats out of just foam and fiberglass with epoxy resin. The old "conservation cafe" had a great thread on it with photos and a funny story that still makes me laugh. duckydoty

I cant wait to get involved in this. Gonna be fun, fun, fun for me duckydoty

Pictures, Pictures,Pictures PLEASE duckydoty

Leonard has some special coffee that helps keep you warm I just wear regular waders and a lot of layers. Duckydoty Dan, I saw Al on the site the other day. Send him a Private Message and he could probably help you out Duckdoty

I'll be there so you can show me how to catch them fish before the moon comes up duckydoty

I finally remembered that Jeremy Hunt held fly tying classes at Lilley's Landing on Tuesdays and it was Tuesday, so I figured I would go. Good excuse to get down to Taney and do a little fishing before and after the class. Started fishing around 5:30 P.M. and it was slow, slow, slow! Caught one on a dark grey sow bug, one on a zebra midge and one on and egg. Leonard showed up at 6:30 P.M. and I followed him to Lilley's for the tying class. It was very nice to meet you all and fun tying double bunnies. 8:30 P.M. and time to fish again. Still very slow. Ended up catching 5 more fish. 4 of them on Leonard's roo bug, and one on a primrose and pearl. I packed up and headed home at 10:00 P.M. Leonard, Did they start biting better after the moon came up? duckydoty

I have caught the gar on frayed nylon rope before also. Use to live near the Mississippi river and Missouri river=Gar Heaven Duckdoty

Robert, Welcome back to the forum. I'm from St. Charles and now residing in Nixa. Still trying to figure out how to move even closer to Taney. Some day I'll live there. Duckydoty
