Fishing Report

[troutgnat]

Gentlemen,

With all the high water I decided against battleling the outlets for minimal water to flyfish and launched my Ranger out of Cooper Creek with a couple of friends. We drifted the area mentioned from 2-7pm. Fished Powerbait eggs on drift rigs and made numerous drifts through the area. Between the 3 of us we boated 6 trout and missed several others but fishing was slow. Bite was on 2 egg rig(one white and one chartruese). Hope this helps any of you. Good luck to all.

Darren- nice to hear from you.

Might try using minnows. Also, I drifted on the inside of the bend below Fall Creek thru Short Creek and picked up a few on an egg fly today. They were biting real short- Babler told me it was the same on TR today on bass... short bites. Funny how that is sometimes.

Also, work a 1/8th oz jig along the bluff bank across the lake from us downstream, esp hit the eddies.

Phil,

Great to hear from ya. Sorry for the delay getting back to you, computers been down for a while. Plan on bringing a lady friend to Taneycomo this Sunday for some fishing. Will be bringing the boat up again for some drift fishing. Would appreciate your latest advice good friend. I hear drifting nightcrawlers is doing well right now. If so I will stop in your place and buy my supplies. You still do have boat parking for customers already on the water right?.......LOL......That will be me. Talk to you soon.
