Members OldTackleCollector Posted June 13, 2011 Members Posted June 13, 2011 Lake trail at Pointe Royale - 11:30 a.m. 6/12/11 - Note the small area of horizontal debris caught in the tree limb in the upper right hand corner, that was the height of the flood level, Amazing! Lower end of Lookout Island - many fish being caught Looking upstream - Trophy Run in the background BOATING HAZARD - Tree from the center of previous pic, across from the upper part of Lookout Island - Horn sounded at noon, and by around 1:30 the tree was covered, with boats running very close to it. Same tree - Note the prop marks on top - Someone needed to change their shorts after that! Looking downstream from the tree - Lookout Island is notably larger now - Lookout Point in the upper right corner Many of the low spots along the bank were sadly full of dead Shad, Sculpin, and Scuds. It would be nice if the "powers that be" could lower the lake a little more gradual, to give the fish a fighting chance to follow the water down, instead of just dropping the water out from under their fins. A four foot drop within an hour seems a little drastic and uncalled for to me. I even had to put a few Rainbows back in the lake by hand, that were swimming in puddles. It was sure a pleasure to finally be able to walk the shoreline again for a change. -- David

Members OldTackleCollector Posted June 13, 2011 Author Members Posted June 13, 2011 Hey, thats my daughter, my father in law, and me in the second pic (with a fish on) lol That's pretty neat barredrock! While I was in that spot, I snapped a few more pics of you and your daughter landing that trout. I can post them here with your permission, if you would like. It looked like it was too special of a moment to pass up, and I'm especially glad that it happened to be a fellow forum member. -- David
barredrock Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Well, my Father-in-Law handmade his first ever flyrod for my 4 year old daughter, Katelynn. Of course she wanted it to be pink and purple, lol. We had to put the Flygirl Damselfly purple reel on it, lol. We took the new rod out for the first time on Sunday and caught alot of nice fish with it. My good friend Chris, whom i was in the military with, met us down there. We had not seen each other since 1995. We fly fished in Montana while we were at Malmstom Air Force Base, that is him upstream from us. Thanks for the pictures

Brian K. Shaffer Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Great pictures David. Heartwarmingly cute. The lighter side of Lake Taneycomos upper end. Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
