Members kingfisher196 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Posted July 10, 2007 Wanted to introduce myself. I'm Rob and I'm from Texas. I posted a topic on the Texas Fishing Forum asking about flyfishing in MO, I'll be headed to the Branson area this weekend with the family and am interested in getting in a little fly fishing. I've heard there's some good fishing around Taneycomo. Any and all information would be great!!
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 10, 2007 Root Admin Posted July 10, 2007 Welcome! Water's been off almost every morning for a week so there's good fly fishing at the dam. I've heard zebra midges are hot below the rebar and soft hackles from there to the big hole. Linc said his indicator, which is a #10 stimulator, has been taken more than his dropper lately... dry fly action!
Terry Beeson Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 First... welcome to the forum and the madhouse... I've been seeing quite a few sulphers and other mayflies around here lately, so it doesn't surprise me there is some dry fly action going on. If you get here in time, you could "come out and play" with the Taney Night Slow Strippers around midnight at the upper section on Friday - well, Saturday morning... midnight to daylight depending on generation. My "go to" fly on Taney lately has been an olive pine squirrel sculpin in a size 10-6 or a big crackleback. Mohair leeches at night in a variety of dark colors. But the PSS works 24/7 for me.

gonefishin Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Welcome Rob. You should be able to find all the info you want here on the forum. Good luck. I would rather be fishin'.

jcoberley Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Rob. If one cant go fishing one can always drag up a chair and form or is it forum and opinion. LOL Welcome Fish slow and easy! Borrowed this one from..........Well you know who! A proud memer of P.E.T.A (People Eating Tasty Animals)
Members kingfisher196 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Members Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm looking forward to learning about fishing in MO since we bought a time share up there hopefully I can get a kitchen pass every now and then and do a little fishing. It will also give me a chance to learn more about fly fishing. I'm still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to fly fishing.
Members harper Posted July 14, 2007 Members Posted July 14, 2007 not sure how all this works but here I go, I work with a cupple of guys that are on here all the time. I hope to be doing it right, and will try to be on here more often.
Zach Bearden Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Depending on what region your in of Texas youve got some good pond/lake fishing for Big ol Bass and panfish which are some of the best!
