Greg Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Fished upper Taney today from about 3:30 to 7PM. There seemed to be a pretty good crowd on the upper part of the lake so I drove around to the rocking chair area. Made it down (and back out) OK - but beware that road hasn't been plowed at all and is pretty treacherous especially in my 2 wheel drive truck. The fishing? It was great. Caught several the first hour or so but at roughly 5 PM the action was pretty much non stop. A hit on almost every single cast. I used a ginger scud for a while then switched to a zebra midge. Both did well. As it got dark I changed to a mohair leech and they just continued to hit. Unfortunately I dropped the light my son got me for Christmas into the lake or I would have fished longer. By 7 it was just getting too dark and I called it quits. All rainbows. A lot of stocker size fish, a few dinks, and probably 5 or 6 bigger fish in the 15 to 16" range. First time I had been out this year due to problems at work. But a great way to start the year. Hopefully 2009 will be a great (and drier) year.

Greg Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 \ ice? Yes. Snow with underlying ice. Hopefully it will melt in a day or 2 with these warmer temps. Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell
