Fished Taney

[Don]

My friend Greg and I hit the water around 9:00 AM. I counted 40 fisherman from the stairs of Chute 2. I rarely fish Saturdays down there but did so because of Greg's availability. We have been fishing together for 33 years and I'm 45 years old.

We went down to KOA for some elbow room. I started stripping streamers to no avail. I tried a few zebra midges bot not much was happening when I noticed a little action on top. Finally it was soft hackles. I landed 16 fish drifting and swinging in the faster water. Colors were green, sulfur,and red. Greg caught almost as many but about a half a dozen of his were picked up on a black and brown ant pattern. None were of any size, 12-14 inches, but they hit hard. We also missed alot of strikes. Things finally started to slow as the sun blared down so we left for flyshop, lunch, and a drive to Roaring River.
