fishing report night

[Micheal Kyle]

Hey

I finally got back down to Taney last night been away for a week or two. Myself, Jim,and Jesse Riding with Rainy's Flies we had a great night. The moon came up around 11:30 and was bright. The water never really got all the way down I have not checked the charts yet but it stayed about 6-8 inches high. The rocks between the roking chair and the big hole never came out of the water and the lone rock that is up above on the south bank did not show untill about 2. As you can see we fished extremely late. Because the fish would not quit.

With the moon up and bright I thought that I would start out with my good purple leech. In the first hour I would catch three and Jesse would catch 1 and Jim would catch about 10 getting frustrated Jesse and I moved and changed flies. I put the fly on that would end the night. Evil Leperchon I started picking fish up two or three in each spot working our way up stream. We worked our way up to the wire catching quite a few stripping the fly slow and long. Not long after we moved I asked Jesse what time it was and he said a little after three I decided that since it would be around 5:30 when I got home I would called it quits .

So to sum it up we started fishing around 11:30 and quit around 3:30. The water took a long time to get down. Evil Leperchon was the choice of color for the leech long and slow strips. Between the three of us I would say that we caught about 60 fish had several bows that were nice and fat and would measure 16-17 "Biggest fish I caught was A bow that was a little over 18 inches.

Jesse just called and said that he left his vest in the grass by the pavilion if any one has seen it and picked it up please call me at the shop. 417-889-6548 thanks.

Sounds like a great night Michael. "Evil Leperchon"??

That must be quite a fly. Obviously some green in it. You know I'll have to ask you about it the next time I'm in the shop.

Greg,

It is one of the custom mixes that I mix here in the shop. I have tested it alot at night and in the day and it works great.
