She also had 3 other nice browns like this one. A total of 5 lunkers in the first 2 days fishing for her.

We were just talking about not advertising a favorite fishing spot, but I have to brag on my lovely wife's recent fly rod catches. Of course they were caught at a secret location using a top secret fly. All background landmarks were self imposed to hide the true location. First picture is a 10.12 and the second an 8.65. All released unharmed.

Not only bats biting your fly line, herons squauking , and beavers slapping their tails behind you. I know for a fact that bears, cougars, and bigfoot have roamed the banks of taneycomo at night on the shoreline behind me. All were unaware of my presence in the water.

Wife's brother called from Houston Tx last week wanting me to find him some 9mm. Nothing going here at the lake short of $42 a box for self defense. I found three 50 rd boxes Friday traveling through Terre Haute . Good price at $14.

They learned their lesson well after viewing" fly fish taneycomo." 4400 members and they all want to show off their catches. Some on a daily basis.
-
We are only about one big spring flood away from them trout eaters ending up in taneycomo.

One of the state records came from the pothole. 1996 i think.

This is why I went to barbless hooks about 10 or 12 years ago. I still get hooked but they come out a heck of alot easier.

We fished with a kid at taney that was the master of the multi fly rig. He could rip a fly out of his hand, face, arm and other body parts quicker than any one I have ever seen.

If your looking to vacate a shopping mall parking lot full of looters in downtown St. Louis, I would recommend a 930 or 940 Pro by Mossberg.

These people make all of these claims on what they are going to do "if '" they catch that big fish. They never say "when" they always say if. I say the jury is still out on how they will react when put in that situation. If they want to turn loose a 12 year old fish that will probably not survive then that is their option, just like it is the option to keep. It should not turn into a day long discussion on what someone else would or should have done.

Yes. The largest of the original strain is just under 29lb and that fish was was probably 12 years plus. My fish was just under 28lb and 12.5 years. The 34lb triploid was 6 years and the 40lber was probably 7 years. The remaining fish from those year classes have another 5 to 6 years to grow. Watch out world record from a put and take fishery.
-
The adipose fin is clipped off on a triploid.
-
As you can see from the photo, this is not a triploid so it is an old fish. A real good possibility that this fish is 11 or 12 years old. The stress may have been more than the fish could handle. Life expectancy is about 13 years for this strain as best as I can recall. The fish appears to already be losing some of it's color in the photo.

My wife and I fished Sunday. The fish we caught were hot and showed no signs of wear and tear after the battle.
-
They had a picture on fly fish taneycomo but the conversation got ugly and they pulled it.. It is so unfortunate that other anglers have to hate and criticize someone for keeping a trout. Good grief, missouri is not a trophy destination, it is a put and take fishery.
-
A 34 inch long by 23 inch around brown was caught at taney today. Weight was 24lb and fly rod caught using a #16 scud. Gotta love those scuds for big trout.

What triggers fish to suddenly go on the feed?

Yesterday it was probably the pressure fall from the hurricane. Dropping pressure may bring them to the surface. -
Well I just spoke with Clint at the hatchery. I will have to retract my comments about nothing being done. They have just contracted with a private company to maintain and clean the restrooms at the pavilion on a daily basis. This is great news . He said they should be re-opened within a week or so. Thank you Clint for addressing this issue.
-
Think I will go directly to the hatchery and see what happens there
-
"one size fits all" huh. I think they could come up with a sign that might isolate one from the other.
-
Porta pottys for each sex would be a good investment of our tax dollars below TRD. Heck I don't care if its coin operated to reclaim their expenses of cleaning and rental. Sure beats unsuiting to drive my wife to the quick stop. Come on who ever is in charge and make some considerations for the people who fund your very existence .
-
You nailed it fw. If it was just me I would not complain. Each time I take my wife, then you have to plan your fishing around a pee break. I bet the local quick stops on either side of the dam are getting a little tired of it.
-
They don't seem to have any problems at the trout parks. You would think there would be no greater risk.
-
Or who ever is in charge of maintaining or opening the public restrooms at the public access and fishing area below table rock dam. They have been closed most all of this season.and remain closed now. Hundreds of people use this area on a daily basis. Is DNR not funded by "our" tax dollars. I want a good explanation on what the problem is with re-opening them. Are the DNR people still being paid for staying home. Those same restrooms use to be maintained and cleaned on a daily basis by private contractors. Why not now if you all are going to sit home and do nothing.
