Fishing Report

Well the biggest story as of late is all the rain we have gotten yesterday and today. Right now they have all the turbines off at the Dam, its in a somewhat of a holding pattern I would assume. Taneycomo Lake right below the Table Rock Dam is still high, in fact its high enough for boats to come all the way up to the cable. There is almost no current at all.

Yesterday we spotted a nice group of browns coming in by the outlet areas. Most averaging 5 lbs. Really nice fish. There was a 15lb male brown spotted behind the island yesterday in the higher water. The last two days we have been out wading with our clients in the mornings and taking the boat out during the afternoon trips, even though it was super soggy out! But thats when you find out how good your rain gear is. We caught lots of fish on the Egg/ scud combo, or the San Juan worm/scud combo. I never had to change the patterns we were using because they were doing so well, but I did have to switch up to 5x tippet after a while, because we started losing too many nicer sized fish when we were fishing out of the boat. You can also use 5x while wading, but that’s usually a tactic only if your hunting the big ones.
