Members Fredrick Posted July 25, 2011 Members Posted July 25, 2011 Well I stopped down there about noon sat with my ultra light setup 4lb mono clear below outlet 2 a little ways. Fishing was great I stared with a white rooster tail 1/16 ounce letting them drift then retrieved slowly. I landed 3 rainbows right off the bat 14,15 and 16 inch but very fat and bulky. When the water and current went up I threw a 1/8 ounce white rooster tail I landed 3 more around the same size. Then I threw a chrome and black rebal minnow. I landed 3 more one about 18 inches again very bulky and fat. Then I went close to the spill out of outlet 2 like every other eager fishermen. I threw a pink puff ball fly with a float miss after miss with mumbled profanity its rather hard to set a hook with alot of slack in the line. I got greedy I should just stayed with my other pattern further down from the outlet. I know guys would just say get use a fly rod blah blah blah . I got hit with a fly across the chest for the first time he apologized and I wasn't upset it didn't hook me.The guys crammed in the outlet reminds me of blue gill fishing as a kid(no offense fly guys you guys catch numbers I could only dream of )I caught one on the egg pattern after fighting the crowd of people. Lesson learned fishing shoulder to shoulder even with bigger fish isn't all ways fun . All and all it was great to wade again. I tried jigs but just like the puff ball they only hit it under super slack line setting the hook was not working more excited mumbled profanity. The fly people this time were very nice to me but that is not all ways the case. Great day on taneycomo. I learn more and more every time I head out this website has been great to me. Only complaint was the heat I threw on layer after layer of spf 50 cream. And folks let me tell you the spray sun screen doesn't work you will get burned as soon as you sweat yea the cream is heavy and greasy but it works! jagermeister anyone?
