Taney Report

[dpitt]

     Was out Sunday water off sun bright and high in the sky,  about noon, even some boat traffic. Fished hopper just below tennis courts to narrows, pretty good bite, 3 decent size to boat one close to 20", couple off, I'm thinking the cicadas hatch Phil mentioned the other day on one cast might have them fired up a bit. 

Nothing, not even a look, below fall creek bluff blank, did not even hear or see blow ups, but definitely hearing and seeing them  up in trophy section. Guessing if your getting blowups on a bluff bank with some shade a deeper drops,  bet it could be good.  

Also, thanks @Phil Lilley for the snow cone pattern midge. (size 18, black thread body, red wire, white tungsten bead).   It out performed the red and black copper midge on my trip I had Saturday.  I was pre fishing Friday and Phil was killing them with the pattern, I believe it was an overcast day.  You can see it in action on Fridays (8/30) one cast.  Also, I  think he has some in the shop.

Sunday the midge activity was crazy up by the narrows, but  they would not buy what I was selling, could not get them to eat any midge, size or color, thinking they just had to much to forage and keyed in on the real thing.
