Greg Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Fished this evening at Taney from about 4:30 PM to 7:30 or so. Really had a tough time. Only 3 fish brought to hand and no real size to those. I did break off several as well due to a leader problem. I've just been having a really tough time the last few outings. A lot different than last fall.

wily Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Burrr...My family and I just returned from our annual trip to taney. We didn't fish in the restricted area. We fished mostly from fall creek to cooper creek. We found the fishing to be slower than in years past. I fished a rapala along the bluff banks Thursday and didn't have much luck. I had a couple chasers but no biters. Thru-out the weekend I picked a couple up on an olive jig, and I also tried a zebra midge under a float with marginal success. I should say that i have two boys who are under 5 and we mostly fished with blown-up nightcrawlers. We caught quite a few on the worms, including a couple 3 pounders...suckers that is. The suckers had eggs in them. We also caught a handful of pumpkin seed perch directly across the dock from Lilley's. All told, we limited out each day except the first and that was because i tried the rapala most of the day. The biggest brown was a 16 incher...we also had two rainbows that pushed 15. But on average the fish were fewer and smaller.
