Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 27, 2007 Root Admin Posted January 27, 2007 I got out finally at 4 pm today and boated to the dam. Drifted once to the boat ramp using a 3/32 oz brown/orange jig with an orange head. Caught 7 small rainbows. They were running 2 units and the drift was perfect. The wind was slight but enough to be anoying. I boated back up and threw a gray/white 1/8th oz jig this time and got a strike right off at the cable so I tied to the cable in mid stream and threw there for awhile. Missed a dozen strikes, even after trimming the jig. The water had slowed even more and the trout were on the surface chasing midges which were hatching like crazy. I finally stop trying and drifted down throwing a white jig this time and caught another 6-7 rainbows, a couple pushing 15 inches. Nice evening. Heard fishing down to the Branson bridges was very good today, drifting a white and a yellow power egg on the bottom, per Alltec from St Louis. I saw people catching rainbows out in front of the dock this evening as I left the dock- they were drifting bait too.
