Steve Brigman came over to play this evening. Water running- 4 units- 908+... I didn't think it would be a good fishing trip. I explained to Steve that this was the heaviest they'd ran the water since August- I think- and I believe these trout don't do well when something happens for the first time- like lots and lots of water.

We drifted from the cable below the dam down to KOA a couple of times throwing 1/8th oz jigs- tried white, olive and sculpin with a little success. We tried a couple of eddie spots including at the cable on the south side- that's where we found some nice rainbows. He got a pic of one I caught- about 18 inches and great colors. Tried at outlet 3 and then down further against the same bank. Lots of fish holding on the bottom but had few takers.

The weather was crazy. Line of clouds hung over us with blue sky visible over the dam. Lightning, some rain and fog... cold fog. The clouds didn't move one bit for 2 hours. It's still raining as I type this report... the cloud still isn't moving.

The evening ended on a good note. But I'll let Steve tell the story in the NewsLeader. He's a much better writer than I.

I'm glad Brigman finally caught a decent fish on one of his fishing trips. His Thursday articles were starting to get depressing! :huh:

I really like Steve's style of writing. When he told me how many articles he has to write for the NewsLeader alone per week I was amazed he would have enough to write about. He said he basically writes about everything he does.

I have a hard time coming up with things to write about on Taneycomo- new things I haven't covered writing about in the past. And general fishing reports... again it's hard to write about the same fishing conditions week after week, having to put a spin on them to make them sound different.

Writing is hard when you HAVE to write. If I'm not in that mood, it would be extremely hard if I had to write. So in saying that, I congratulate Steve for a very good job of writing. I know it's a tough job sometimes. Especially pleasing guys like loo10 :D:D
