Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 15, 2006 Root Admin Posted October 15, 2006 Just came from Anglers and Archery... bought a half dozen arrows for my bow hunting trip next weekend. Chuck said he's had good success this week- his clients hooking and landing a few big browns. One 13.5 lb female he had a pic of. Chuck has always been an awesome guide for browns. He's proven year after year he knows how to do it.
Guest rwolfe Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I was down last weekend with friends and family. We fished below the #2 oulet on Sunday and I watched a gentleman catch 2 6's, an 8 and a 10 lb. All browns. I didn't have as good a luck as he did, but I did get a 20" and one that was well over 20" but snapped my 6X like it was nothing. I didn't have anything heavier on me at the time, but I'm coming down again this week and will be a little better prepared. Needless to say that all fish were released unharmed.
Members NoBarb Posted October 16, 2006 Members Posted October 16, 2006 Yes Chuck is an awesome guide for sure.I was out with him last Tue. when we caught and released that 13 1/2 lb Brown.She jumped staight out of the water broad side to us showing her legnth of 27' and girth of 20" what a fight on light tippet. Chuck is a guide who leally loves his work,and it shows! Before the 13 1/2 lb,we released an 8 pounder,then that afternnon we must have chased around 6 more fish down stream,biggger than the female!thank you all who showed good sportsmanship and let us come in front of you in our pursuits.Buy mid afternnon I threw in the towel.wet,wore out,and most of all totally satisfied!What an awesome trip to Taney.Thanks to Chuck.
Wayne SW/MO Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I saw the pictures, they were pretty fish. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 16, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted October 16, 2006 I just got off the water. I walked in just after 6 am to the rebar hole and started throwing woolies- nothing till it got light. There was a mud line coming from the old outlet #3 from the construction. It covered about 25% of the stream to the hole and backed up in the eddie. It wasn't that bad- the browns later when I got light kept coming up and swirling in the muddy water. One male about 20 pounds- scared me every time! Landed 5-6 rainbows and one small brown- best on red san juan worm #14. #14 grey scud caught a couple. Couldn't find anything the browns were interested in. Chuck walked in with a client at 8 am. He fished below me. The client was having a hard time hooking and keeping fish on- too much slack. NoBarb- if you don't mind me asking- what fly did you have the best luck on?
Terry Beeson Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Phil, Did you try drifting or stripping a fly just outside the mud line? I've experienced and heard the big boys like to hide in the mud and attack anything that swims by in the clear...

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 16, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted October 16, 2006 I did with alittle success. I was surprised I didn't do better.
Members Larry Murphy Posted October 17, 2006 Members Posted October 17, 2006 Does anybody have a phone number, URL, or email address for Chuck?
