Thom Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 greg: I will have to wait tillo I get home to post the pics. I am having problems getting them to post with my new laptop. We fished Monday morning from 10 til 12 and caught about 20 between my grandson and me. We tried lots of things but found they were interested mostly on a # 16 hares ear fished as a dropper under a pink micro jig. 5 ot the fish we caught just off the channel at the edge of the shade were 14 to 15 inches and fat. I am sitting a the picnic taple at Lilly's now watching 4 units gushing thru. They say they are turning off at 8 and then off till 2. Lenord &I are planning to head to the dam abut 12 and give it a ttry. t Thom Harvengt
Greg Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I'm glad you and your grandson are having a good trip. I hope you catch some tonight. I'm headed to Branson with my family tomorrow for a few days. I hope to get in a few hours of fishing at some point. 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
Thom Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Monday nite at the dam.......... Went to the dam last night to brighten my horizons. New experience for me and my grandson fishing in the dark. we walked down toward the gauntlet and Leonard riggec my 13 year old grandson up and started him up stripping an olive pine squirrel. He then came downstream with me and while he was working with me Zack landed 12 nice bows by himself. Talk about pressure for a grandfather. I guess i need to be proud while most grandparents are worried that their grandson will get in trouble My worry is that he will never let me forget that he outfished me. Leonard put us both on fish and we had a great time. Since Leonard is a guide I will not elaborate on where and what we fished in detail but to say that the pine squirrel, sculpin, and other flys that leonard tied on and showed us produced in black and olive. We probaly caught near 20 + fish between us with Zack on the higher end of that total. Leonard caught several also. I you are interested in learning to fish taney at night I can highly recommend Leonard who can be located at tanneycomo nights.com website to get you started or introduce you to the flies that will work.
