3wt Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I fish the current primarily with mohair leeches and wooly buggers. I have recently started using zonkers with some success. Bunnies are supposed to work great on high murky water. As far as big ones go, I have caugh only a handful over the 15" range. They're in there. If you don't believe it, check out Sam's site.
Greg Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 I've definitely had some sucess with streamers - wooly buggers and mohair leeches on the upper current. I've stripped them as you would a streamer and also dead drifted them with good results. Size 8 to 12.

Members Matt Tucker Posted February 4, 2008 Members Posted February 4, 2008 Try throwing a #4 Rag Sculpin in olive or gold........there are pigs on the Current if you can find them. --matt tucker =================================================== The pursuit of Ozark trout on the fly. http://www.OzarkChronicles.com ===================================================
Members flyphsh Posted February 5, 2008 Author Members Posted February 5, 2008 Thank you all for your input, you've been very helpful. And if any of you haven't checked out that link that Flysmallie posted to Kelly Galloup's podcast, you should. It's not only good for learning a new approach and new techniques but some great information on big trout and how they go about their daily business.
Gene K Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 ...haven't checked out that link that Flysmallie posted to Kelly Galloup's podcast, you should. ... Interesting stuff. The first two browns I ever caught on the Current were on Streamers. Haven't used one on the river in two years.
drew03cmc Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Streamers are my favorite flies for anything that swims. Andy
shawncat Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 There are a few good fish in there..How big do you think this one is? 23",6lps.gold/blk rapala
Gavin Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Close...23.9"....A size 11 or 13 black & gold rapala is a really good choice, but youll up the odds if you have one of these.
