Fishing Buddy Report

[Phil Lilley]

We started fishing Sunday at the dam around 3pm. I was just using a spin casting rod and reel. Tried a rooster tail, and a black wooly jig no luck. My buddy was fly fishing caught two rainbows. Sorry not sure what he was using.

Rented a boat for monday and Tuesday. Caught our limit both days, using yellow and pink salomn eggs, once we caught our limit we headed up past fall creek to lookout point. Caught plenty of rainbows with minnow like crank baits.

Fished off the dock at night with not much luck maybe 3 fish. We will be back, and we will tell everyone what a great place lilley's landing is!

Thanks again yours truly Jim Foster

I was always under the impression that once you had your possession limit you were done fishing for that species.Correct me if I am wrong.P.S. if you had fish in the slot limit,you were definitely breakink the fish& game laws.

Only in the state trout parks do you have to stop fishing after you've caught your limit of trout, not in any other lake or stream in Missouri.

You're assuming they took their fish caught below Fall Creek into the trophy area and also you're assuming they were in the slot. Or you're assuming they kept fish in the slot or kept any fish after keeping their limit below Fall Creek.

it's comments like this that keep people from posting fishing reports. They get hammered by the least little thing.

Glad to here you had a good day on the water. It is always great to see people enjoying Tany.

I didn't know you could keep a limit and then continue to fish on Taneycomo. I've always just kept three and then kept releasing them. I'll have to remember that next time I am down there.

As for the jumping to conclusions, that happens on every forum I frequent. A big one is when somebody posts a picture of a buck with less than four points on either side and that starts all sorts of flack even though a large part of southern Missouri doesn't have the antler restrictions like the northern half.

That's just the internet for ya.....
