A Guy From Okieland Saying Hello

[ubear111]

hi ..... just looking around and trying to learn about Taneycomo. i already learned enough to book 6 nights at Lilly's landing - Saturday May 16 to May 22. i have a tracker panfish for my wife and i to fish out of. have reserved boat slip to keep the boat in the water.

my wife and i are blue gill fishermen --- otherthan catfish form our pond ... we use ultralights and small lures.

i fished Taneycomo around 1978 - hired a guid named Milo Holvick. we fished drifting red worms and trolling cowbells. we were at the trout dock in downtown. Milo fished a stick steered boat. a heck of a nice man ... he made a positive impression on my life! not many people that i can remember their name after this many years. i fished a few times over teh years using the same techniques. i had Milo take my dad and i out.

we did not fish aneycomo for about 20 years. we made 3 trips over the past 2 years and have fished teh exact same way - but to throw a mepps to catch 2 trout. we never were able to stay over a day or two. have caught 2 browns - 12 and 20 inch

this year, we will have 6 nights and 7 days to fish ... i want to try different things... i have never ...

a. gone into trophy area

b. jig fished

c. got wife to catch a brown

d. caught trout on many lures.

e. used fly rod on trout

Welcome from Nw Ark. Taney is a great area and that Phil guy is pretty good about taking care of you.

Some of the best memories of my short life are fishing and I try to revisit those areas as much as possible.
