Current Report

[Chris Gates]

Went down to the current today 1-22-11. My good friends Ryan, Nick, and myself traveled down from Jeff City to try out the river. We were hoping to fish from Baptist down but they had some snow on the road down to Baptist and didn't want to get stuck so we went to Tan Vat instead. I fished down and my friends stayed up above Tan Vat. Fishing was great on midge larva and also size 20 X caddis in late morning. I was surprised how many fish I caught given the sunny skies. After fishing the river and not being able to go down to Baptist without wading all the way down we decided to fish the park. Quite a few gents there so we jumped around and tried to hit some obscure places. I definately recommend the park on Sundays vs Sat during catch and release season. Tightlines.

Your not helping my trout fever. Thanks for the report.

Nice Report...Every once in while in the winter when the sun is shining the fishing gets good. I think those midges like the winter sun.

i agree with that. On my last trip it seemed as soon as the sun hit the water i was getting fish on brassies and the like.

Clouds, sun as long as it's not following a streach of really cold weather trout fishing is wonderful all winter long! Those midges do like the sun they were thick yesterday along with a few small mayflies.
