Labor Day Week

It's just a guess and I know no one can tell, but some of you guy's that have fished Taney might have a gut feeling, my buddy and I have vacation planned for Labor Day week. We want to fly fish somewhere, would like to get a camp site at St. Park and fish Taney being it's only 25 minutes from the house. Do any of you guy's think they may stop generating in a couple of weeks? Table Rock should be close to pool by then. The weather has been well below normal temps, so they may not need the power? The only other option is the Little Red. They haven't generated at all there the last 2 weeks. It's a 3 hour drive, but there is a nice campground at JFk park. Any ideas?

Just my gut, but I don't think you can trust the tailwaters right now, even the Lil Red. I bet it will be late October or November before we see some normalcy on the big waters.

I would opt for one of the blue ribbon trout streams like the NFOW. Just my most humble opinion and like I have said before, that and 2 bucks will get you a cheap cup of coffee.

We looked at the Nortfork, but not many places have RV sites. Those that do are twice a expensive as a Corp camp ground. My buddy Mike thinks we should go to Colorado and fish some out there. But it's a hard day out there and a hard day back. If we left Tuesday we would have Wed-Thurs-Friday and come back Saturday. So 2 days of driving for 3 days of fishing. It might be worth it? Never fished Colorado, he has and said it really good. I would guess he is talking about the Platt River out there? It's been a tough year to fly fish in this part of the country. Come October and November the deer wood will be calling awfully loud, I won't fish much then. But after that I will fish every weekend if the water allows. I guess we will wait another week to see what it looks like. I know everyone will be glad to see this year pass. But we won't soon forget it I'm sure.
