Lake Taneycomo
Crazy fish. I still have to remind myself that it's call FISHING, not catching, for a reason. Sara, my oldest daughter, and I fished all day yesterday on Table Rock looking for white bass and crappie and hardly caught a thing. Everyone I know fishing yesterday on Bull and the Rock struggled. Trout fishing, though, was excellent on Taneycomo. It was sunny and mild yesterday. Today it's cloudy with alittle breeze and I guess fishing is awesome on Table Rock, at least. Report to follow after Babler calls me back.
Sorry for the delay in reporting. It's been a zoo here at the resort plus lots of extracurricular activities with NAIA basketball here at College of the Ozarks.
Generation, well, for the most part it's been off- none. Today however, the Corp is making themselves liars. On their on-line chart it says no generation today but they're still running 2 units as I type mid-day. So who knows. I'd say little chance of much generation through the weekend.
Trout fishing on Taneycomo has been fair up until yesterday. Fishing slowed down for most from Monkey Island through the Landing except for a few reports of catching larger rainbows around the 65 bridge and the Fish House structure at the Landing. The area in front of our dock has been alittle slow although some of our guests are catching a few from the dock. But the area between Short and Fall Creek is on fire, according to our guides who fished with night crawlers yesterday and reported catching some nice limits of rainbows.
Above Fall Creek in the trophy area it's been very good. Jig and float using either micro jigs or marabou jigs in olive, sculpin, brown/orange are the ticket. Lots of 10-16 inch rainbows being caught everyday. Alittle breeze helps- look for the chop on the water and go there! Use 2 pound line for more hook ups.
Below the dam, again HOT! A friend landed five, yes five! rainbows over 20 inches just yesterday. Small scuds- #18 in gray shades dead drifting them throw feeding rainbows. Sight fishing is possible now that the water is gin clear again. Midge fishing down by the boat ramp has been great in the afternoons and evenings using a crackleback or zebra midge.
The lake has been busy, to say the least. Spring breakers are enjoying incredible spring weather and the trout are cooperating!
