Fishing At Night On Taney

[Zack Hoyt]

Now I wish I would have come up and joined you last night. Thought I was going to take Caleb and Maggie (my son and girlfriend) fly fishing this morning but we're waiting on this rain to pass.

Does Marsha know about this???

Oh wait.....thats your son's girlfriend......

They did not shut the water off till midnight last night. We got there about 10 p.m. Leonard was at the pavillion waiting on us. I finally got my light back! We all went up to the flats between outlet one and two. It was wadeable enough to be able to really throw a line way out there. The water slowly dropped the whole time we were there and the fish were agressive. I stood back for a while and watched DD'sMC double hauling and slow stripping. She has come a long way in just a short time. We all had several hook ups and fish to hand. Another reminder for those that are gonna try fishing at night......bring an extra set of clothes.....I took a dunk last night. First time in a few years for me down there. DD'sMC and I threw coneheaded white mink sculpins and Leonard was doing great on his black and purple hibinator. We only stayed there till 1 a.m. and caught more than enough fish to ease the need for a fix. No one else on the water again last night???????

All this talk about night fishing is really making me jones for a weekend trip down south. It is going to be a month or so before I can head down but I am definitely going to make it a priority now.

I hope you can get it arranged, but you definately wont be seeing me. I will be in Alaska starting the 21st and wont be returning till the end of Sept. No worries though, I will be getting some fishing in.

Make sure you fish during the day before you go out night fishing. Try to remember where the big rocks, stumps, logs and holes are that might trip you up. Make reference to them by the skyline. That is the only thing you will see at night. Take note on how the water flows and where you need to cast during the day in places you want to fish at night. Good luck to you and I'm sure you will have some fun.

Well I was hoping to get down and fish with you and MC before your departure. Graduation ceremonies this weekend, so that's not going to happen. I saw your post about taking a dunk last night. Did they add a new rock to upper taney? Be safe and have a good summer. Hopefully, this fall, we won't be seeing any flood gates.

The root wad on the flats between outlet one and two got me. I was standing on them, had my light on and changing up a fly. Switched my footing and I was in. That is a great refernce place for getting a good drift right next to the line of rocks going out and the one big rock that most peoples stand on just below there.

We are doing graduations this weekend and then again on Thursday, our last evening in the area. Might get out and fish again Sunday through Monday if the generation is favorable. See you in the Fall.
