Fishing Report Sept 29

[Greg]

My son and I fished a few hours on upper Taney today. The fishing was tougher than it was a couple of weeks ago. Still an enjoyable day though. I'll attach a couple of pics.

We helped a guy net a rainbow that was well over 20". He was obviously struggling and said he had forgot a net. I waded out to him and managed to net it for him. Tried to get a pic for him but the fish jumped out of his hands right as I was about to snap the pic. It was a beautiful fish.

Thanks for the photo's and report Greg. I was there friday nite and saturday morning. Fishing was extremely tough then, as well. At least for me anyway. I struggled to catch 8 fish on friday night, and things were just starting to improve about the time I left on saturday. I had the pleasure of having a short, and enjoyable conversation with Bman and his son ohmz138. I hope to run into you and your son sometime this fall.

Do you think the bright moon had anything to do with that? The last 2 times I fished with a bright moon I tried to find spots where the trees blocked out the moon and then moved back some and fished those spots and did a little better. I know you have fished many more nights with a bright moon overhead than me, have you found any other secrets. I have taken some of the flash out of my flies just for bright nights but it still was slow.

Maybe it was because you guys were fishing one month into the future....

It was an honor and a privilege to meet you again on the water. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of new records, and personal goals.

most people will disagree with me, but I always catch my biggest night fish on a moon. I acutually target the moon phase.

Likewise Bruce. I hope you and Matt got into some good fish. The only ones that I could catch were the dumb ones.

Why did you have to go and say that???

Next thing your gonna tell everyone ..that there is less people out when the water is on...

Now we wont be able to fish the full moon and high water... because of the crowd...

THANKS MAN!

LOL...

I would look forward to that as well. We are hoping for a really good fall fishing season on Taney.

I'm trying to talk my son into going night fishing with me one of these times. He's a little creeped out at the thought of it though. Night fishing is definitely and acquired taste.
