Jerk Bait Morning, Taneycomo

[Phil Lilley]

Paul, Duane and I started heading up lake this morning at 4:30.  Yes it was dark but the fog wasn't too bad.  No generation.  Duane was driving... he treated us to his world famous stick bait guide trips using his custom painted baits.

Boated to just above Fall Creek and made our way up through the Narrows.  Caught a few rainbows but it was slow.  Boated up to Lookout and trolled past the flats to Trophy Run.  Fished that area with little success.

Back down to the Narrows - still slow.  On down to Short Creek.  My shoulder was getting pretty sore so I switched to a jig.  Caught this nice rainbow on a 1/16th oz sculpin/ginger jig.

No browns.  May be a dozen rainbows on the stick bait.  Slow morning according to our guide.

Wonder where the brownies all went...  nice fish there.   Were you guys throwing rainbow or sculpin pattern?

Down at the landing eating biscuits thrown from the restaurants.
