Hey tippet I went out about 8pm. I did ok caught a couple nice rainbows. I just wrapped it up. Feeling eerie on my own.

More than likely im gonna wade close to outlet 2 or rebar depending on the water. I drive a white jeep wrangler. I went out today to somewhat get my bearings on it, trying to figure out where the deeper holes are and to gauge how far out it is, hence the reason im a little nervous about it. I should break down and just buy a boat haha

Anyone interested in getting together for some night fishing tonight (thursday the 8th) Ive never night fished taneycomo and probably shouln't do it alone the first time. Feel free to drop me a line on here or give me a call 816 935 4941. Brad

Looking for a fish cat 10-ir inflatable pontoon fishing boat, Would consider others as long as you can stand in it.

Planning on fly fishing tuesday the 31st if anyone is interested, gonna try and hit both outlets and see what happens.

I enjoy your blog, congrads on catching a mirror, I havent pulled that off yet. i'm glad im not the only person who has the obsession with catching "trash" do you go after gar much?

Sounds like ill be checking it out soon then. I work for the Fire Dept. so I'm lucky to have a pretty open schedule. i live in Peculiar on the Missouri side. Throwing clouser minnows in Shad patterns at Wakarusa?

Its an adventure thats for sure. I enjoy the random adventure though. Saw plenty of snakes at Squaw. I agree there has to be some great carp fly fishing on the rivers around here,the Missouri is aweful muddy and pretty tough to sight fish unless you find some of those back water areas that are somewhat shallow, I've learned to keep the rubber boots in the Jeep lol. I'm always toying with the idea of the Kansas River or just venturing out to Lawrence and trying the outlets on the lower side of the dams at Perry and Clinton lake. I haven't tried either one yet so it just adds to the adventure. I also hear that Wakaursua is full of carp... You up for catching up sometime and headed out? Be nice to find a fellow fly fisher into "trash on the fly"

Got up at 0700 and drove to Squaw Creek only to find that they had pretty much drained most of it out. Not a fish one to be found or seen. Most of the pools were dried with the exception of a few puddles, even the canals were pretty well empty. No big deal I tell myself. I'll just drive down to Browning Lake in st joe because I have fished it before and did fairly well. Well I get there and find the access has been turned into a construction yard....no good access...So 2 hours of driving one way and 2 1/2 tanks of gas and not even a shot to wet the line.... I heard a rumor of an area around 435 and Front street, some back water from the missouri that holds carp...Drove all over the area with no luck...then its off to Blue springs lake and lake jacomo to check out the spill way areas...big fat nothing..... therefore a very long day with nothing caught..not even a wet line....

I went up last year and did pretty well and loved it! I'm gonna head up tomorrow if anyone is interested. I'm leaving from South KC around 7amish. I just wasnt sure if there was still water around there or not.

anyone fished it lately? Debating heading up tuesday May 24...itching to get out and after some carp/gar. Brad

Hey I'm from the KC area and I'm looking to head to KS to check out some of the spillways to do some rough fish flyfishing. Anyone interested? you can shoot me an email at Bwinkert@comcast.net Brad

I put my Kayak in at the dam, fished and floated down to the landing area. I have kayaked it a few times ranging from no generation, to 4 units ruuning with no problems as long as you are paying attention to whats going on. I fly fish from my yak and have no troubles fishing and floating. You can even paddle back upstream with 2 units running as long as you tuck in close to the bank and prepare to work your butt off. brad

Alright I'm throwing this out there because I'm not 100% sure how to handle this situation that occured today. I was wade fishing today on Upper Tanneycomo,I had been in the same spot for about 3 hours or so through the rain and all. Well about the time I start really catching some fish and the rain quit I'm suddenly crowded by three older gentlemen and I do mean crowed, two of them crammed right in on the left of me and the third to the right of me, close enough they kept tangling thereselves along with me. I ended up just leaving as I couldn't take it anymore. What's the best way to handle this? I found it quite rude and irrating as did the other gentlemen who was fishing across from me. Is it best to say something or just leave? I understand that when they are running water there are limited places to wade, but is it really right to just crowd in like that? Thanks, Brad

I haven't fished Hillsdale yet but I here there are some good sized carp in good number out there, and I'm wanting to give my kayak and the fly rod a try. I took two smaller carp on Melvern Saturday morning.
