Lilleys' Landing Fishing Report June 27Th

We have seen more generation this week. The last three days there has been two generators running all day. For a couple of days before that we did see some mornings with no generation. Table Rock Lake is down to 916.89 feet above sea level as of 7am this morning, but I believe they are generating so much because of the heat.

 

I got out for a few hours yesterday and did well. First thing I went right up to the cable. I was the only boat up there and caught a few fish along the south bank between the cable and the island. Most of the fish came out of the deeper water. I was using a white streamer on 300 grain, 24 foot sink tip line on an 8wt fly rod. On my next pass I switched to a spinning rod with a #14 gray scud trailed by a peach colored egg. Again most of the fish came out of the deeper water, I was drifting right down the middle of the lake not up close to the bank.

 

After a couple of drifts I moved down to Lookout Bluff and switched back to the streamer.  I had a lot of fish chasing but didn't see any big ones.  Right at the top end of the bluff, just below the island, is where i caught most of the fish including one nice brown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later in the day I ran into Rick Lisek.  I stopped and managed to talk to him for a bit they were catching some good fish.  He was fishing just below outlet three when I caught up with him.  Just as I got there they hooked up with a nice one.  They were using San Juan worms on a drift rig but I didn't hear what color.  Most of the time red and brown are the best colors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Fall Creek to the Branson Landing worms blown up with air have still been the best.  A couple of spots that you might want to try would be just out in front of Short Creek, Monkey Island, and just below the bridges by the Landing.  Powerbait or Gulp in orange and yellow or white and pink have also been producing.

 

I have not tried any Trout Magnets in a while so I broke them out yesterday.  I like to fish them under a float with no extra weight on 5x fluorocarbon tippet.  I tried my usual spots with a few takers.  One of my favorite spots is right out in from of Kanakuk.  I keep the boat just out past their docks and cast towards the bank.  The color of choice was Salmon Fix but I also caught some on a Pink and also Cotton Candy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Luck!

Is silver or gold better on the trout magnet jig heads ?

[Travis Swift]

I use silver on white and gold in the pinks and others . It doesn't really make any difference though

Great report! Thank you!

[johndarin]

I use both, it doesn't seem to matter.
