Greg Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Due to family obligations I didn't get to Taney until 2:30 PM today (Sunday 1/20). I forgot to check if they were running water until I was almost there and was disappointed to find that they were running one unit. Since I was almost there I headed to the rock anyway. Glad I did. I think I'm finally getting the hang of fishing with one or two generators going. I've been using a 2 fly setup with the first fly being a heavier weighted scud, leech, or egg and the point fly being a zebra midge. Both fished below a larger than normal indicator. At the rock I caught quite a number of smallish rainbows. About half were on the zebra and half on the leech. When they turned on a 2nd unit I left the rock area and drove over the dam to the very upper end of the lake for another hour or so. Several nicer rainbows up there with the last (right at sundown) being a real beauty. It was several inches past the 20" mark on my rod. My largest trout in some time. Very few fisherman out I assume due to the cold and maybe the 2 football games. All in all a good day though even with the cold.

zander Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Way to go Greg! I have the utmost respect for you guys who can get out there in weather like this although I am not jealous in the slightest:)
Members bobtu Posted January 22, 2008 Members Posted January 22, 2008 where's "the rock" I was out there just below outlet two... started just before the started running water and stopped when they started the second unit... Did very well on a heavier egg with either a olive San Juan or tan scud dropper (if that's the right term). nothing too big but extremely fun for the first time. Thanks to Jeremy Hunt for teaching me how to cast and showing me what/where to fish..
Greg Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 The rock is down stream a ways from outlet # 2. You can walk or wade from outlet 2 to the rock area but most drive. Zander I'm really not that tough regarding the cold. Not like some guys. If it is much below freezing I generally don't go. But there are guys out there like Michael (BCO) and Leonard that will fish at night when it is down in the teens. Now that's tough!

Trav Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I thought "the rock" was on the other side of the dam. Haha "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
