Micheal Kyle Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Went down last night with Russ and we were again amazed at the empty parking lots, has everyone forgotten about the jewel here in the Ozarks for night fishing for Trout. We went up and started on the south side just below the cable and worked our way down to the flats. I have no idea how many fish we caught but it was a lot there were times when you wold get a hit on every cast. I will say that here this past 2-3 weeks if you are wanting a full fledge strike then you are going to miss fish the line gets tight or just not coming back in right set the the hook that is a fish. We fished until 1am Blood Red, Mottled Leech, and Evil Leprechaun Mohair Leeches were the colors that we used last night. I feel that we are setting up to have a great fall the size of the fish are awesome right now lots of 17-21 inch fish are being caught at night and I have seen some pics of fish in the daytime that would say the same. Last night the first 7 fish that I caught were all over 17 inches with the largest one right at 20 not bad for the first 20 min. Like I have said in the past I use July and August to judge how the fall is going to be if it keeps this up Becky at the I.G.F.A. better get ready Tight Lines Michael To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!
Members gary2400 Posted July 7, 2009 Members Posted July 7, 2009 I thought it was just me but the full strike didn't happen very often at night last weekend for me either. It was if they were taking it and swimming upstream. When my line went slack I set the hook and there was always one there. Sometimes I had to leave my red light on in the fog to see it. Is that a summer thing or just a cycle?
Micheal Kyle Posted July 7, 2009 Author Posted July 7, 2009 IMO this is a cycle happens all year long, when I see it happen the most is when there is a lot of daytime pressure. To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!

Is that a summer thing or just a cycle? That is a year round thing, you can have it in winter also, warm air cool water, or cold air warm water. I fished in January this year with the temp right around freezing and there was fog. Usually if it is raining there is no fog. Another reason to know your way around at night so when you start out across the water or gravel bar and can not see 10 ft. in front of you much less the bank on either side. F2F
Don Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 H2O off early? Why would the corp shut off the oxygen early, yet shut off the oxygen at all? Do they want a fish kill? Duh! Good report. Glad you're stinging them at night. Don Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
