Fishing Report Nov 1-5

[ekl-stl]

We made our anual trip to Taney and fished from Thursday morning to Monday morning.. lots of different conditions, hot weather, cold weather but beautiful the entire time.. The water ran all day Thursday then was off an on the next few days..

I did well on chamy worms and red san juans, #22 brown scuds, #22 possum scuds, peach bedspreads, red and black zebra midges, #8 sculpins fished on top in the shallows (worked well on browns in the evenings, white bedspreads and white thread jigs.. and a variety of other items.. Seemed like something would work well for a while, then turn off.. then something else for a bit then nothing.. almost everything I tried got some response..

Caught a few good browns from 18-22 inches but saw a few bigger fish.. not as many as I remember last year but we were two weeks earlier last year..

The ladder at outlet three is working, and it appears to me to be working well.. I have some video of the trout moving up the ladder..Its amazing the number of big browns in that whole chute... Cant wait till next year.... the guys in our group did pretty well on Power Bait and inflated crawlers off the dock at Lilleys.. at least they said when the water was running it was real good.
