Leonard Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 over the past few weeks I been hitting the water over the weekends and late evenings... Ive noticed a few patterns the are getting some attention..... BIG TIME.. today I hit the water and Dan joined me for a little fun in the sun. starting at outlet 1, the fishing was really slow. I did hook up a couple and decided to move out to the drop-off, got a couple good rises.... yes top water!! then walk around to the lower side of outlet 1. that is were the fun really started... every couple of cast got some good rises... and then it happened... cast 1... a miss cast 2... right back on the same stop... another miss. Cast 3... HE INHALE IT.... a 22+" rainbow maybe a good 4lbs (if not more) Yes it was a freaking football.. yes the same fish hit all 3 times... WHAT A SHOW HE PUT ON.... he must have been in gymnastic... man could he jump and flip. He went air bourne about 2-3 feet out of the water.. I dont think Ive ever seen a big fish jump that high before. what did the take??? A grasshopper of course!! hoppers, crickets, ants and beetles are really going great on upper Taneycomo.. Dano... enjoyed the company and the chat... http://www.taneycomonights.com
Danoinark Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 It was a hoot watching that big brown take Leonard's grasshopper. Looks like terrestrial time is here. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
zsmith62 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I managed to get down today after work around 6:30, and fished outlet 2 until about 11. In all, it wasn't a bad night, I caught eleven rainbows, and one small brown. Several of the bows were pretty thick. I was using a brown scud until about an hour after dark then switched to a black wooly bugger. Leonard: I did notice a few fish rise with a little more vigor than they usually do when sipping midges, especially as it got later, they must've been going after the bugs. That scud was working so well at the time, it never occured to me to try a hopper. Here's pic's: Zach Smith
Murdoc Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 All right you two!! Whats it going to be??? Leonard says "rainbow" and Dano says "brown" Either way that would be a blast!!! Smiles are free http://rdpflyrods.com/
Danoinark Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Ooops I thought it was a big brown. Now that you mention it....well, he was fishing the main channel out from the outlet... This is what happens when you get older....the distant vision isn't what it used to be Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
