Leonard Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 arrived around 11am friday... got everything set up and went looking.. fishing friday was a blast.. focused on the little area of c&r and did great on the PMS , roo bugs, and a few sculpins... caught a couple dozen fish.. Saturday.. MEAT HUNTING.. caught 3 in the first 15 minutes using a PMS... (and to the stringer they went).. kept going for another hour catching about 15 more... back to camping to start a fire... well we walked the park and I kept fishing.... here and there.... by 4pm... I walk down to campground 2.. tossed in twice with the pms and had my 4th for the day..... sunday.... spinning rod.. start with the PMS jig.. and made my way down to campground 2. a few hook ups nothing for the stringer.... as I was wading up stream.. I hit this pocket and that.. not much happening.. and then THERE IT WAS!! I thought I saw a small shadow of a log... cst up above it.. a couple of twitches....... BAM!!!!! it was freaking ON!!!!! ********** a 6 1/2lb rainbow!!! ******* (and yes it was weighed at the office for those who REALLY want to know!) But that 1 fish became dinner for all 5 of us!!! and it was GOOD!! sundays.. didnt get skunked... I left all my stuff in the van and momma went for breakfast with the kids.. got 2 before breaking off..

ekl-stl Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Sounds like a nice trip.. I love that little C&R area.. Did you see any good browns in there.. They have some nice cut banks that can give you some different types of fishing situations.. and catching a good rainbow like that is always fun..

Members jrbhc8 Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 Sorry I could not make it. I was in a wedding in Springfield on Saturday, so that pretty much kept me occupied. Did manage to sneak down to Taney for a few hours early Friday morning. I was catching fish, but being so tired I went back to the truck to take a quick nap and didn't wake up until 9:00 A.M.. Drove back to Springfield, and never made it back down. Did you try any night fishing at the Current? jrbhc8 www.troutchapters.com jrbhc8 ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ | <°)))>< | <°)))>< | | ¿ >°)))>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishmaster Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Great report Leonard, and nice phish. As for eating the bigger trout, I do not like their taste at all. I have eaten a few over 3 lbs but each one tasted like $hit and threw most of it out. I'm glad yours was not that way. Glad to hear you had a good time. Later, FFM Woo Hoo Fish On!!

Leonard Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 I didnt like the taste of those big fish either... I like them around the 20-23in.... is perfect this was just over 25... but the kids loved it But when cook right they are AWESOME!!! Clean the fish... from the butt/belly.. up... (leaving the head on) and cut out the gills. take a bag of frito corn chips and crush them as much as you can Chop up a big red onion and mix with the chips cut 2 big lemons in 1/2 and squeeze the juice onto the chips and onions ... mix well... take 2 more lemons and slice the about 1/8in slices.. (can cut another lemon (thin) and put inside the cavity as well) a big peice of tin foil and butter it down good... lay your lemon slices in the butter season with some black pepper/salt/garlic powder place the fish on it stuff the "whole" cavity (head and all) as full as you can get it. roll the foil around it.. (note: may need to wrap a second piece of foil around it.. the get it cooked all the way through) Lay on the grill in med/low heat and cook... after about 15 minutes turn it and cook the other side.. feel the fish it should feel like a med/well steak when it done... (may need a few more minutes depending on size) This can also be done with 4 trout 16-19inches.... also try it with filets of.. crappie.. goggle eye.. walleye.. oh... skip the walleye... they taste better with jalap.pepper and bacon.... http://www.taneycomonights.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekl-stl Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sounds delicious.. love fish cooked in foil on a hot fire.. I will have to try the jalepenos and bacon the next time I get some walleye.. Been catching a few Saugers up here but nothing bigger than 12 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
