I was there saturday afternoon as well. Thought itd be a good idea to take the gf down and try our luck. She didnt fair so well. She cant use a fly rod very well yet so i hooked her up with my ultra light w 2lb test and 7x tippet. The fish were barely hitting her copper john and she was having trouble setting the hook in time. Needless to say, she got skunked. I was well on my way to getting skunked until i found the giant pod of trout that were barely under the surface. Problem was they were hardly rising and i couldnt get them to take any of my normal dries. I finally switched over to my trusty olive and yellow cracklebacks and the bite was on. Just threw it parallel to the current and let it swing to them and used short, fast strips to turn them on. Caught 8-10 from 245-4 and that was about that jist of the day. Saw Bman and his son Ohmz stalking the opposite side but i didnt get a chance to introduce myself. Talked with JJ trout bum and shared "the lane" in front of the pod. It was nice chattin with you. Hope to see you all around again sometime soon.

On a side note, i dont think she will ever understand the meaning of "one more cast"

If you see us again be sure to say hi. I don't know about dad, but I'm going to wait until after Thankgiving until I go again sometime. Hopefully the water clarity will improve a little by then. Go ahead and yell across if ya have to! I would.

Tight lines,

Matt

Yeah, i think that im going to be down at taneycomo from the Nov 20th to the 29th. Hope to get some good wade fishing done down there but if its too high im bringing the boat just in case. I hope to be down again to maramec again soon. Its the closest trout fishing park near my place in southern illinois. About 2 hrs. Its a long drive but its well worth it.
