Fishing Report 11/12-12/12

Finally got a chance to make it down to Lilley's for some much needed trout fishing.I took a couple of friends that have never been to Taneycomo.We arrived Tuesday around noon and settled in and got the boat in the water.It was a beautiful sunny day and warming up nicely.My buddy's were pleased with the weather but I knew that high skys and no generation meant slow fishing.I kept this info to myself,and put on a positive face.What else was I to do?We motored down to the landing and jig fished for a couple of hours.We probably caught maybe 3 or 4 fish.It was time to troll.I put on some rogue crankbaits and we trolled the landing area for the rest of the day.It was fun,we laughed and joked and caught quite a few fish,even hooked a couple of largemouth!Well,it was back to the cabin to grill some ribeyes and relax.The next day,I was hoping to take the guys up to the dam and drift down.As luck would have it,they were not running the water.We did motor up to look out and we jigged the area down to Fall creek.The wind would die,and so would the fishing.The wind would pick up and we started catching fish again.Our biggest was a nice 17 inch rainbow.We caught around 40 fish between us and had a great time.Sadly,we had to leave on Thursday,but I think my friends had a good time,at least they said they did!I'm looking forward to going back this winter real soon!
