Ämp Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I love fly fishing , and usually just wade . I would like to start taking the boat on taneycomo though and could use some advice on where to put in at . What do i need to look for if i motor through with one unit on? Is it difficult to keep strait and out of the prop busters with just your trolling motor? I realize alot of bigger boats than mine come through the portion i wish to fish but I still think i could use some pointers for my first time there with my boat ..(i do not have the money to replace anything if i break it lol) I have a 16 ft aluminum v-bottom widest beam available, 25 hp motor , 45 lbs thrust foot controlled trolling motor and plenty of battery. any advice would be very helpful ...I would even be willing to take a person that knew what to do to best avoid damage to my rig if they wanted a free fishing trip..I have plenty of fly rods and make my own flys so just bring yourself and some knowledge . no big hurry I would just like to try it one of these days so any help would be very useful . .
twosets Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Below Fall creek the major concern would be a large gravel bar below short creek on the left side as you are going up. Above fall creek it is best to go up with someone who know the lay of the land Cooper creek public access is an excellent place to launch. Good Luck I will be there sometime in the middle of july and would be happy to show you what I know then, hopefully you will get out sooner than that, fishing is realy good right now.

Fly_Guy Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Sometimes with one unit on, you can run into these vertical objects scattered in the lake. They make loud yelping noises if you run them over, and can mess up your prop. Some of them may even be forum users. Try to avoid them
Ämp Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 yea I dont want to run very far up with one unit on .. I dont think going above fall creek would be a good idea ..thinking more downtown branson area ..any help would be much appreciated . .
