Heading To Tany Sept. 20th

[benjisdad]

Howdy all..

Well it has been some time since I've posted on here. I visit every once in a while to see how you all are doing down at Tanycomo and surrounding areas. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot, but figured if not, someone would re-direct it. I have a planned trip for five days down to Tany and we are staying at Lilley's Landing. I'm excited about the trip and I'm really looking forward to spending a week chasing some bows and browns.

Thought I'd pose the question here, what should we expect that week? From what I've read on Phil's reports there has been little to no flow coming from Table Rock. I am bringing along a new to fly fishing friend and want to get her into some bows on the fly rod. Our first outing here in Iowa she netted two small rainbows. Appears I can teach how to fly fish...lol..... ... We're bringing along a boat as well so plan on doing a bit of trolling, would really like to see if we can find some cooperative Brown trout this trip.

Any way, any info or advise you all could provide would be great. I'm sure that we can gather lots of info at Lilley's but I'm always one for starting early...hehehe.. .. I really enjoy coming down and if it weren't for the long drive I'd visit more often. Thanks in advance and have a great one... Tight lines all!!!

Sounds to me like all you have to do is just get here, get your lines in the water... you'll do fine

If you do end below the dam in low water, throw some dries. They're are some eager fish are always willing to cooperate. More than likely going to fighing crowds though.. its getting kinda full up there. Not so much thru the week.

In the boat is where you can catch that brown. In the boat throw some streamers at Lookout and below. On spinning tackle you could try Rapala's and other stickbaits.

All you need is the weather to play along. The rest will just fall right in your lap.

cheers and have a good trip - Brian
