Incredible Day on Upper Taneycomo

[Bill Babler]

6-18-21 

Picked up Glen and Clint at 5:50 am at Lilleys and headed to the dam. They had been on the White the past two days and described the fishing as pretty slow. They wanted to throw jigs and we started at the cable with limited success. I think 4 rainbows but they were nice. 

Switched to a tandem grey size 14 scud fished 10' under an indicator and it was simply on, "Bigtime."

At least 18 times both boys had one on at the same time, it was pretty incredible. Lots of bright clean fish in the 14 to 20 inch class. 

And, one of the most remarkable things is that they fished that tandem for over 3 hours and we never had a single wreck.

Unbelievable, never have ever went with a 2 scud tandem on ten feet of 5X leader that long without some type of a snaf-foo.   On spinning rods to boot. 

Lots and lots of boat traffic, but it didn't matter on our little slice of heaven today

Good Luck

Sounds like a great day! How much water was moving?

2 units drift speed was 1.7 mph.

Bill how much weight do you run on double scud rigs. I always end up extending mine to tick the bottom and adding weight.  I know a lot depends on the flow, but I am always looking to perfect it. It has been my go to rig for years and I am always looking to get it a little better.  Also how do you throw it on the spinning rods with 10 foot between the indicator?  Slip bobbers?

Bill, I know I've said it before, but can fishing be any better? It is unbelievable.
