Lake Taneycomo, November 23

Same generation and flood gates today.  They're bumping generation up from 40 to 90 megawatts at times sending Taney's level to 709 feet which is a lot of water.  Table Rock's level has crept down from 917.3 to 917.2 feet.

I got out this morning and drifted from the dam down to Short Creek with a friend of mine.  He was breaking in a new boat and wanted "help".  We tried white 1/8th ounce jigs and each caught a rainbow - at the same time.  Switched to a egg/scud combo on a drift rig and caught 4 more rainbows between Lookout and Fall Creek.  Then caught a couple of more before picking up at Short Creek.

Bill Babler struggled this morning on his guide trip up lake but went down to Monkey Island and said his clients caught 40 rainbows.  They were drifting with the same egg/scud rig plus he said they used and caught fish on orange, pink, white and green Gulp eggs.  Very good fishing, he reported.
