08/12 & 13 Fishing Report

[Relish1]

Fished Sat. and Sun. morning between boat launch and KOA. Upstream of boat launch looked like opening day in a trout park. Managed 4 small sub 12 in trout on 20 gray scud and san juan worm. Had one on that looked to be 16-17 inch on but broke off on first run-using to big of a fly for 7x. Didn't see much catching going on around me. I have not fished Taney much this year but in last several years have made 6-7 yearly trips. Seems like the number of trout in the area I fished was very low. Usually see all kinds of fish in the shallows midging and hanging out and lots out in deeper water picking scuds. Where are the trout? Have they shocked lately? Maybe they are all upstream and I need to move upstream and combat fish a little. Long story short very very tough fishing.
