Fishing Report
We have fortunately escaped the brunt of the ice storm, at least for the meantime. Today there is still a possibility that we could get freezing precip. We did receive quite a bit of rain, raising Table Rock Lake to 916.0.
Water has still been running every day. Right now 2 generators are going. Yesterday it was off most of the daylight hours, and on Friday it shut off at 9 am.
Fishing has been really good with the water on or off. Nymph fishing is definitely the way to go still. Fish a San Juan worm or a Scud pattern (we used a size 12) and try dropping a small scud (sz. 16 or 18) behind them. It will produce tons of success!
Fly Choices
Scuds: Sowbug or tan
San Juan Worms: red
Adam’ Bug (a new pattern thats been working great when
water is running or not)
**If water is not running try stripping some:
smaller streamers
Soft hackles
South platte brassie in green
or drift a crystal midge
