Taney Report

Hey all, 

Went fishing on the lower Taneycomo for the first time. It was more of an exploration trip: seeing water temperature, depth, etc. But, I did get some fishing in. Launched the canoe at Rockaway Beach and went up towards Bull Creek. Caught five bass. Three were dinks, one was about fifteen inches and the fifth was a very solid fish. Caught her around the mouth of Bull Creek in about ten fow. The rest were shallow. My thoughts on the lake: 

1. It seems to be an awesome fishery. There's a lot of different water to fish.. from fishing in the weeds to pitching docks. 

2. The bass are mainly going to be in the warmer water- 60+ degrees. 

3. I'd venture to say tributaries and creeks are going to produce better year around because of the water temperature, but I could be wrong. 

4. A zoom fluke over the weeds on the main lake can probably produce some awesome fishing. 

5. Under utilized for bass; which is great. 

6. Fish definitely act different than on a "regular" lake; probably will take some time to learn. 

Those are just my thoughts so don't be afraid to correct me if needed. I'll definitely fish it again!

Several 8-9 lb largemouth caught down there every year. I have seen the biggest bass in my life in Taney, for what it's worth. Go back!
