A Beautiful Dat At Taneycomo, Good Fishing

[Bman]

Matt and I made a Bansai run to Taney today. Left the house with the boat in tow about 5:00 am, in the water at the MDC ramp below the Dam about 9:30. Off the water at 5pm. Back home boat tucked away by 10pm.We got lucky with the weather, clouds and sun all day. Fishing was great all day, (the catching was good as well). We stayed up in the Trophy area all day with 3 units running pretty strong. I stayed with the fly rods all day using dropper rigs, with egg/scud or san juan worm/ice scuds all day. Matt went for more variety using the fly rod, and spinning rods throwing sculpin jigs, and jerk baits. Catching fish on all, a few Browns and the rest some nicely colored rainbows. No silver bullets today.

Matt got the best of his 'ole man today catching wise. I was rewarded with some "quality time" with my best fishing buddy, which is more than enough for me! It was great reliving fishing trips of the past during the drive. And looking forward to trips in our future.

Here's a couple Matt caught and released today.

as a sub-note ...to me, ANY day at Tanneycomo is a great fishing day! sure some days the "catching" isn't as good as others, or the fish are a little harder to figure out. That's part of the sport of it all. If it was too easy that would take some of the thrill of discovery out of it. We can learn something new any day, from anything, or anyone, if we are open to it.

Tanneycomo will always have a special place in my heart, as it has since my dearly departed Dad took me there in the mid '60s.

Thanks Dad

Bman,

Sounds like you and Matt had a great day out on the water. Thx for the report.

It's good to see a positive fishing report...

Catching always takes a dive on Taney in the spring and I don't know why. Trout are still there- it just gets tougher to fool them may be.

Thanks for the report!

We are looking forward to a week long stay at your resort coming up shorty. This time we are treating ourselves to a lake front unit.

Really looking forward to it.

It was a great day to be outside! A few fish to hand really had to top it off!

It was a good day, plus a ride in the riverpro is ALWAYS A PLUS!

Catching trout on bass jerkbaits and jigs is always fun yet different too. Its been around two years since I have been down there, it was good to get down and see how much it has changed. I cant wait to see it when the water is down. Hope this year is a little drier than last year.

Those are some great looking fish. Sounds like a great day.
