Fishmeister Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 flyfshn, I hope you are right. Yes, would like to fish with Leonard sure I could learn alot!
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 29, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 29, 2008 They've slowed generation down all week to just a little all day today. Table Rock is almost down to power pool and it's supposed to be warm SO I don't think they'll run much if any.
Fishmeister Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 Report of this weekend at Taneycomo I got to Branson around five pm, took my wife up to the dam and the hatchery area to look around, she had never been there. They had been running two units most of the day, as we were leaving, horn sounded dang 3 units, maybe not for long I was hoping, about 30 minutes later back at the condo, horn again 4 units so much for fishing friday night. Saturday got started around eight am, 1 unit, fished between Pointe Royale and KOA Tried streamers san juan worms and egg patterns, caught a few small stockers in three hours, SLOW! Talked to a fellow angler said he had done alright on dry hackles, after lunch tied one on things picked up some, still small but numbers were better fished till about seven probably 10-15 fish, when help came to the rescue! Leonard called said he was heading to the river around nine. I said I'll be there, still hope for the day. After a cup of Leonards' special coffee, we got rigged up and headed to outlet one. Leonard tied on a PMS for me and showed me how he fished it. Things started off slow for me but after a short while I landed my first trout of the night. Caught a few more and Leonard came over and said they were hitting on the pine squirrel, he tied one on for me, and let me keep the PMS, after brief instruction on this we both started landing fish frequently. After fishing the flats and doing well back to the van for a brief break. I am guessing, we caught 20-25 fish in a couple hours. Headed down to the big hole still had the pine squirrel on Leonard told me where to cast, talked about currents and drop-offs and back to catching. They were really going on both lures. We fished there for another hour and half picking up another 20-25 fish. After having fished for most the day my body was telling me it was time to quit. Nice evening with water levels dropping as we fished thru the night. Talked to a few others, no one was having much luck, Leonard knows his stuff on upper Taney,his techniques work and work well, no big fish brought to hand this night but good numbers, 17" was probably the largest, and rainbows out numbered browns two to one. Give Leonard a call if you want to catch fish at night! He is a great teacher and also just a great guy to fish with, for those that don't know his website site is www.Taneycomonights.com. Thanks, Leonard!!
