DeepDiver75 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Spent Friday and Saturday scuba diving on Table Rock but managed to catch a few hours fishing Saturday morning from 6:00 until about 9:30. No units were running but the water had dropped out very slowly from the previous days generation and the tailwater level was still a little above normal (701.3). Started off between chute #1 and #2 using a #20 purple bit-scud with a #20 wine G-Bug for a trailer sight fishing some shallow fish. Caught several average rainbows and landed one real nice brown that went 18". Thanks to the gentleman that helped me net and measure the fish even after I tromped into his fishing area trying to subdue this fish before he snapped my 7X tippet. Caught several fish laying along the North bank on my way down to re-bar. Changed over to a ginger G-Bug with an olive G-Bug dropper and fished a pod of midging fish on the dam side of re-bar just before the bend. Started off catching some fish nymphing with an indicator here as I had upstream but soon found that I was catching more fish on the end of drift swing than I was on my dead-drift so I removed my indicator and weight and started swinging the G-Bugs just as you would a soft hackle. This worked great and I finished off the morning with some really nice rainbows out of this spot. Ended up with around 30 fish in 3 1/2 hours fishing and a nice brown thrown in. Pretty good mornings fishing and I didn't even have to miss any sleep !
Greg Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Sounds like a great day. I was out this morning and the fishing was good today as well. Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell

back2roots Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I got to go out for a bit yesterday afternoon 'til about 5 o'clock. Caught most of mine just up from chute #1 on a P & P or black zebra midge. Either dead drifting or a bit of a downstream swing. The ones I caught were in the 16"-18" range and were fighting strong. All-in-all...an excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon!! If you liked the sound....Thank the engineer!
