Looking for a recommendation - Taneycomo

[ol' blue]

I'm taking my wife and 3 kids out to Taneycomo in mid-October for a vacation and some fishing. My wife has let me go on several trips, and generally puts up with me, so I'd like to treat her to a half day guided flyfishing trip where she can get some instruction as well as catch some fish--without me or the kids around. Yep, serious alone time for mom.
Can anyone recommend a good guide down there that will work with her as a novice flyfisher and give her a terrific guided trip? I've only fished with Leonard down there, and he was great, but I think she needs to fish during the day. I don't have any experience with any of the other guides down there.
Thanks!

I would use Lilley's Landing. I have heard nothing but good things from people that have stayed with them.

We're staying with them for sure. Reservations are already confirmed. Do they have guides through the lodge? I haven't received a response to an e-mail I sent to them about guides.

I just got back from Lilley's. Call them on the phone. They suggested to me that the next time I visit I should book a guide through them, so they do book guides.

I like Phil Lilley and am glad you're staying there, but I would NOT use his guides for this! Call and book Carolyn Parker of River Run Outfitters. Trust me on this one.

Carolyn or Jeremy Hunt.

Taneycomonights. Leonard is a member of this site (or at least he used to be). Try giving him a call, google his site to get his contact info. If he can't provide what you need, then he will know who can. Great guy!

Thanks for all of the recommendations. I like getting feedback, especially in this case where I want her experience to be as good as possible.

Ditto. Leonard (Nightangler) took care of me when we visited Branson.
