Leonard Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Sorry I couldnt get this up any earlier... With the wife having surgery friday (and she is recovering very well)... its been a hell of a weekend...... Thanks to everyone for all the get wells for her! Saturday night.. I met up with Randy from St.Louis.. we got on the water about 9:30... we headed to the big hole to start.. as soon as we got the we hit a couple right off.. then it slowed way down. we still were getting the strikes.. just not many hook up... after a while and probably 15 fish... we headed to the flat (of course we had to stop of for some special coffee) we noticed not very many people there.. so we went to the flats.... we used 2 flies all night... the black/uv red hibernator.. and the black/ uv pruple ... as we walked in Randy dropped his fly into the water and stripped some line from the reel.. as he lefted to cast.. he had a fish on the kicked his butt..... a sweet 19incher..... what better then a 20inch rainbow.... how about 3 back to back cast all 19inch...... we finished off the night catch about 15-18 more each.... all very heathy fat fish... most were in the 15-18in range.... Sunday Night.. met up with Doug and Bill (from Alabama).. lots in the parking lot.. yet not very many people to be seen... we head to the big hole and started with the Hibernators... picking a few... started really slow... after a couple hours with a fish here and there... we headed to the car... (Yep.. you know what its time for)... off again toward the flats.. this time we found some nice fish.. but nothing over 17... we stayed till just after 4am... totaling out just over 30... a little slow... but it was a GREAT NIGHT!! all in all... A wonderful Fathers Day Weekend for the 4 of us!!!........ And to the rest.. (its late..but) Happy Fathers Day to all the dads!! Leonard http://www.taneycomonights.com
tippet7 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Are you planning on getting out any this week? I could very probably get out tomorrow night(wednesday) or maybe thursday (but not both..you know how that goes) Its bad enough that i took a whole 2 hours on Fathers day and fished down by KOA You are so stupid you threw a rock at the ground and missed.
Members trout_bum Posted June 24, 2009 Members Posted June 24, 2009 Leonard, Trout_Bum here. I enjoyed chatting with you and Randy Saturday night. Thanks for the flies and for letting me sample your special coffee. It really hit the spot. I had to turn in a little earlier than you guys did. I started getting sleepy around 3:00am. I dosed off a couple times down at the big hole. If it weren't for the trout slamming the hibernators you gave me, I probably would have taken a dunk. I guess that's what I get for fishing almost 24 hours straight. I decided enough was enough and made it up to my truck around 3:30am for a three hour nap. I woke up shortly after 6:00am and headed back down for more. I'll probably be coming back down this weekend to get me another fix. It was a pleasure finally meeting you. I hope your wife makes a speedy recovery from her surgery and hopefully we'll run into each other again. Corey Dodson "Trout everywhere tremble at the mention of my name."
