Lilleys' Friday Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Took Gary McSpadden and his grandson Chase out fishing this afternoon,,, yes in the rain. Started at 2 pm and ended just a while ago. Rick Lisek, guide, told me they caught fish just above the River Pointe boat ramp using a micro jig under a float 5 feet deep but tying a #14 black zebra, copper head, 12 inches below the jig. He was right.

They caught probably 25 each, 3 browns- one about 18 inches and some nice rainbows up to 14 inches on mainly the zebra. Caught one on the jig and one on a pink thread jig I used instead of the micro. Used 6x tippet.

Nice to know there IS a bunch of trout up there. After the last 3 mornings, I was beginning to wonder.

Pics to follow.

I'm glad to hear that it picked up for you (and that there are still trout in Taney ). Thanks for the report.

Here's the brown.

Had to post a close up of the fish. Real pretty markings.

That is actually a very pretty brown, I bet if the sun would have been out the halos around the spots would have been fabulous

That is a very spotted brown.
