Taneycomo Upper End Changes

[Brian K. Shaffer]

Since the flood(s)... what do you guys think of the upper end ?

Has the introduction of the rocks been noticeable for you ?

Does it still still fish the same ?

Curious to know what you guys think.

some of the changes are nice...

new spots to fish and seems like more area to fish... I mean this like more shore line and wadeable water.

ROCK.... noticeable? Im guessing you havent went night fishing in a while!

This is a big FAT YES!! also yes.. fish are holding on the rocks.

does it fish the same... no

the old "hot Spots" are GONE.. but Im finding some new ones really fast.

I have to agree with Leonard. Was able to fish many nights during August thru early December, when they weren't flowing water during the draw-down for work at Powersite. River is definately wider and very flat at upper end making more fishable area - especially during generation. Access to south side from north side is easy during no-flow periods at many spots. Most of my favorite spots are gone - especially along the north bank below #2 where I caught my biggest fish over the years. Fish are holding in different spots or moving more during low flow. I saw more fish down stream directly in the flows from the outlets during no/low flow periods than I've ever seen - the reason for the success of many anglers nymphing day or night. I for one miss some of the old holes that were very productive for night stripping, but I did find some spots that are better than before, especially along the south bank. I only fished a few times after the rocks were put in, but did notice they were holding fish at night. They do take some getting used to - never fell, but snagged some with big streamers a few times.
