Fishing Report 12-8-09

[Zack Hoyt]

Water releases have slacked off some and the Table Rock Lake level has gone down so there is much more wading access. The fish have been staying near the bottom and hitting mostly nymphs. Sowbug/scud patterns, small mayfly nymphs such as pheasant tails and copper johns and bead head midge patterns have been working best. Small olive woolly buggers fished with a sink-tip line are picking up nice fish.

Olive & Brown buggers in a size 6 to 8 have been really good at night too.

You'll dig this. I caught this guy dead drifting that copper john. He is about the size of a half dollar round and 3-4" long. I swapped to a black woolie after this and did killer.

Wow. That's a big one. They sure are ugly things

I did pretty good the other night with a maroon body bugger with a black tail

I havent done a ton of night fishing up there. Drop me a pm next time you head over, I would enjoy joining you. I always end up going early in the morning.......or as generation permits.
