Vacation Trip Report

Got to Cooper at 6 am.  Heavy fog and then thunder and quick light rain.  Slowly made my way upstream in the fog.  Boats scattered around fishing.  35 megawatts till  9 or so and then they ramped it up to 150 when I left   

Threw the jerk till noon.  No fish caught after 10:30.  Had around 10 to the boat, rolled another 15 or so and had at least that many followers. Never caught a rainbow although at times groups would follow it all the way to boat.  

A couple of the browns that I rolled or had on for a while were real nice.  One XL brown followed the jerk to the boat and he was a tank.  

Back at it tomorrow.  @Travis Swift I swear I had all my bass gear but I just couldn’t leave my regular milk run.

Put on the waders this morning and went to the dam at 6.  Not many people fishing. It’s like a half to one unit running.  Very quick flow.  Took a while to find em and when I did it was on.  Fished till the horn at 9.  Caught them steadily and they were chunks and fought hard.  Bugger to start then spaghetti and meatballs.  That did the most damage.  A few midging here and there but they wouldn’t take a gnat.  Headed to lower Taney to look for bass.  Been quite a while since I bsss fished down there but @Travis Swift got me interested again.  Second picture for @Flysmallie

Move over to the Current and average size and catch rate will increase. No Frank sized tanks available though. 

I don’t agree with that at all.  I’ve fished both for 40 plus years and Taney wins every time.

Put in at the landing and ran my way milk run for bass.  To say Taney bass fishing is a secret on Taney is a joke.  Boats in every Creek all the way down to Rockaway.  Didn’t want to horn in as the low water didn’t leave much room.  Never wet a line.  Fun though to see it with empire jacked up.  Couldn’t even get in behind the fishing pier at Rockaway.  

I’m at the pool with a beer
