Tuesday Report

Today was the best day I've had on Taney since the flood, and quite possibly one of the best ever.

I worked outlet one with two of my buddies from about 8:30 am to 5 pm I definetly had over 30 fish, with only a handful of small ones.

When I first got down, the water was about 8 feet lower than it has been since the flood, and there were fish rising all over the place. So, I took off the indicator and scud and quickly tied on a blue winged olive dry fly, size 20 and hooked fish on just about every other cast.

Eventually, the water went back to normal levels and the surface action died off, and nymphing was the way to go. After losing all of my scuds, I then tried just about every thing I had in the nymph box. They took just about everything I could throw at them too. I caught fish on scuds, sowbugs, eggs, san juan worms, and midges of every color I had, Pheasant tails, Hare's ears, Squirrel tail nymphs, cracklebacks, I mean everything.

Inevitably, things began to slow down at about four o'clock, so I decided to call it a day.

I can't think of a time I've had that much fun fishing the outlets, usually its so repetitive, but getting to experiment a little and catch fish on the the surface, made for one heck of a trip.

Here's some pics:

Hopefully the water will go down for some wading. Then another line of thunderstorms rolls through. Congrats on the catch.
