Hopper Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Friday afternoon checked generation schedual and saw no generation after midnight, hit the road for Taney. Got to the dam at 11:15 and in the water around 20 till, one generator still going. Went to the area below outlet 1, one other person was already there spin fishing. Weather was fantastic, 60 degrees extremely clear skies and about 2 feet of light fog coming off the water. Uesd 8wt with sinking line, was throwing some big flies (J.H.'s circus peanut) purple cone head streamer. Caught some nice fish, two browns in the 12-13" range and several bows smallest around 15". Quit around 7:00 am and went to my parents house to take a nap and was back around 1:00 and launched my canoe at the boat ramp below the dam for a little drifting and wading, killed them on soft hackles, black, olive, red size 12 and 14. Great fishing trip, really got into that night fishing definately worth the lack of sleep. The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.

DaddyO Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Good Post. Thanks for the preview of the pics at riverside. We kept missing each other. I saw you pull in just as we were heading out for lunch at 1pm. We'll try to hook up next time. DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.

Hey phil, Next weekend am taking my daughter fishing at taney, but on the 13th I'll be at the lower Illinois for a clean up with the tulsa fly fishers maybe we can meet up there. Tenkiller is almost back to normal so generaton should be also. Gregg The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.

Members Ryno Posted June 1, 2009 Members Posted June 1, 2009 Great post and pics. Those pics of the flies spark my interest, is it legal to use rubber in your fly in the upper end??? I was talking with the guys in the fly shop in cabelas they said not legal in parks (fly zone), but they didn't mention Taney. I'm assuming similar regulations for Taney on what qualifies as a fly. I am not partial either way just thought in would make for good conversation? "set the steel to em"

I am not partial either way just thought in would make for good conversation? Trout Lure Definitions Fly an artificial lure constructed on a single point hook, using any material except soft plastic bait and natural and scented baits as defined below, that is tied, glued or otherwise permanently attached. Artificial Lure a lure constructed of any material excluding soft plastic bait and natural and scented bait as defined below. Soft Plastic Bait synthetic eggs, synthetic worms, synthetic grubs and soft plastic lures. Natural and Scented Baits a natural fish food such as bait fish, crayfish, frogs permitted as bait, grubs, insects, larvae, worms, salmon eggs, cheese, corn and other food substances not containing any ingredient to stupefy, injure or kill fish. This does not include flies or artificial lures. It does include dough bait, putty or paste-type bait, any substance designed to attract fish by taste or smell and any fly, lure or bait containing or used with such substances. There is alot of grey area in the state regulations, are rubber legs "soft plastic bait" my opinion is no, and its such a small part of the overall fly, of course my opinion. Plus everything I catch goes back in the water, and next time maybe they will be a little more warry of those rubber legs. The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 1, 2009 Root Admin Posted June 1, 2009 The code was changed to include common fly tying materials including rubber legs.
