Fishing Report

[Leonard]

my weekend started friday night..

got to the dam and there was still some high water.

As I getting ready for an up coming trip, I pull out the fly rod to find a broken tip..

well I had to do something so I rigged the spinning rod with a glo stick and float with a midge and roo bug dropper..

I picked about about 20+ fish in an about 2 hour. and head home.

fished from about 9pm-11pm

--------------------------

Saturday morning up at 7am and on the water by 8.

I met up with Jeff (capt. Bly) for a little fishing and scouting. we started in out 1 with still some high water.

Saw a few big fish swarm the big flies but no takes.. after a little while a we noticed a couple guys catching fish.. when they headed out.. they a nice stringer full of whites and walleyes.. We stepped over and caught a nice mess of white.. using shad raps.

I left the water around 1pm to head to Harrison for a little family time.

returned to the water and met up with Jeff again for "some fun without the sun"..

I let him post the report and his catches..... (LOL)

I headed out about 2am (I think) and he was have fun so he stuck around and fished a while longer..

_______________-

sunday...

Back up at 6am..

Time to take good ol dad to the lake... we went for the whites.. but the had shut the water down to 1 unit and I think the whites moved..

catching some really nice bows on the shad raps.

I glanced over to check to see if dad was doing ok. He had his rod double over and looks like he was hung on the bottom. As I made my way over to give him a hand. I saw the line moving and a big swirl.. then I saw the head..

Dad just landed his very first ever .... walleye... a sweet 24incher...

YES... we took it home..

NOTE:

I saw the lower side of outlet 1 this weekend..

we all know the big log that laid over there.. ITs GONE.. (I couldnt see it)

as turn the bend coming down from 1 that bank is completely wash away.. theres a 10-12 foot "cliff" there now... it washed away from about 25 feet below the out let... and the way down to the pathway (the old boat ramp).. that single bush that sat there is gone. there is a large railroad tie laying over there not sure where that came from..

I saw this saturday night when the water dropped (1 unit).. it a big hole there and could tell how far out it was but with one unit on.. it was deep..

WATCH YOU STEP!!

Do you think that all of these walleye came over the dam or could they be what was left of the original White River walleye before Table Rock Dam? It wouldn't surprise me if these were walleye from Lower Taney that moved up in response to the massive current. I am looking forward to Friday to get some fishing in before and after the TU meeting.

[Capt. Bly]

Yeah, you could say I was having fun! I fished until about 3:30am. Caught 26 bows from 14 to 19 inches. I was going to head home around 2am but just couldn't make myself walk away! Great Time!

Hey Leonard, you forgot all about that 24 inch TROPHY MUSKRAT that I caught on the midge!!

Thanks again Leonard. I may try and get back down this coming Sunday or Monday night.

Hey Capt.Bly.

I found this!!!!

The TROPHY of the night.

[Capt. Bly]

Leonard,

I don't see anything! Is that because it was dark outside?

[Capt. Bly]

I forgot since I'm at work they don't allow enough space for me to see all the pics.

Just seen the trophy pic. He's large but not very colorful. I wonder if you could make an MMS instead of a PMS to catch trout?
