snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Just in case @fishinwrench is as wondering😁. I was on the water at first light this morning. Started slow with a bunch of stockers. All rainbows, all fat and healthy. Then it was on! I caught these 2 back to back. I guess a slug of shad came through. Never saw any but the first one spit 3 up. Both of these well over 20”s. I wad watching the radar and then heard thunder in the distance. Hightailed it to the ramp. Got my boat unloaded and put on the cover. First drop hit as I was getting in the truck. Then the sky opened. Heavy rain and hail! nomolites, Mitch f, ollie and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 22 Root Admin Share Posted May 22 Blake went up and fished the cicada this morning and said it was silly-good. Bluff bank below Lookout down. After the rain. I caught them on a sinking cicada fly yesterday on one cast. A fly Duane showed us. But a jig will do the same thing, as Blake demonstrated today. Shad - Cicadas. Scuds too. It's pretty good fishing right now on Taney. BilletHead, Terrierman, dpitt and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good fishing right now on Taney. I only threw the stimulator a little bit. When big fish are swirling on shad I can’t resist that. It absolutely poured on my way back to table rock. Streets had 3-4 inches of running water on them. Did you get a lot at your place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netboy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Those are a couple of fatties. We haven't had any flood gate releases or shad kills down here on the Bull Shoals tailwater as they seem to be storing the runoff in the lake. Also, no significant cicada action yet, but the caddis are still active and fun fishing with elk hair dries and soft hackles. Here is one from this morning...
