6/21-22 report

Well it was the first time fishing taneycomo for my son and he was excited to get after some trout.  We headed down Friday and put in at Cooper Creek about 4 that afternoon.  First thing we did was boat up to the dam and drifted back.  We fished jigs but it was tough for us.  We had a few strikes, picked up a lot of moss but just weren't getting any to the boat.  We stopped in at Lilly's and picked up more supplies, talked with duckydoty and got some tips.  We ended the day boating just a couple rainbows.  

Saturday we were on the water by about 830 and by then there was maybe 1 unit running.  again we run upstream and floated down from fall creek.  we did this most of the day and had much better results.  My wife landed the first (her first brown trout in MO) and last fish with several in between.  My son and I tag teamed a few as well. It was a great day on the water with several nice fish caught and some that didn't quite make it to the boat.  A big THANK YOU to @duckydoty for sharing some of his SS hand painted cranks and help putting us on fish.  and while my son wasn't successful hooking up with a brownie (certainly it wasn't for lack of trying) he did have plenty of luck with the bows.

That's awesome!  Looks like a great couple days on the water with the family.  Had pretty decent weather too for the most part minus the storms on Sunday.

Congrats to you guys! Lots of fishing memories made and probably need to plan a return trip to get your son that brown trout!

the weather was fantastic.  Friday wasnt too hot by the time we got on the water and Saturday was a beautiful day to be on the water.  We pulled off Saturday evening about 530, just before that storm hit and headed back to Springfield.  We were all wiped out, we'd spent almost 9 hours on the water.  Daniel was a trooper.  He kept up the entire trip until we got in the truck to head home and then he was out.  we're already talking about headed back but it may be a month before we're able to make it.
