Hello To Everyone!

[Bob Koogler]

Hi,

My name is Bob Koogler. I have been trout fishing on Lake Taneycomo since I was an adolescent and love it!

I recently retired (I am 57) but have always traveled to Branson 4-5 times a year with my family to enjoy fishing and the area attractions. For years we stayed at Brill's Rainbow Resort in downtown, but it got mowed down to make room for the Branson Landing. Since that time we have always stayed at Lilley's Landing and we LOVE it!

In November of 2008 I caught the fish of my dreams: a 15lb; 28 inch rainbow. I took pictures and measurements of it and released it. I then had a replica made of the fish and I get to see it everyday.

My wife and I have four children (2 boys age 30 & 25; / 2 girls age 29 & 19). The guys are really good fishermen and their hand/eye coordination fishing jigs under a strike indicator are faster than mine! I tried to get my daughters into fishing but they just didn't care for it.

We are coming down for another trip 12/1-4 and staying at Lilley's so perhaps we will run into each other.

Regards,

Bob
