Ok so talked to Icemanxxxv late last week and we both decided that it had been too long since we had been able to wet a fly line and that neither of us had been on the board in a while so we decided we would fix both of those. We’re looking to go to Taney the last weekend of Febuary, I have a really good friend that has decided he needs to go as well and I have one more to tell that we are going, he may go as well if he can get the time off. So that will put us at 3 going down right now. That will be great and all but the best tiem I ever had down there we had about 15-20 people fishing all over the river all night long and had a blast caught a bunch and even caught a couple big ones. So I reckon if you wanna go get a hold of one of us and we’ll give you all the details as we work them out. Oh yeah looking to stay at a hotel but last time I did this we had 3 and split 35 bucks 3 ways so it worked out to cost us very little and we had a ball. Also if you want to go ad need any tying advice or maybe want a few flies just let me know and I’ll take care of you I have TONS of flies all ready to go and can send you a few for patterns or whatever.
Come on guys… nearly 80 views as of this post and nobody will bite??? We’re not going to be tied down to Taney only, prolly go to Roaring for some C&R for BIG bows (caught an 6+lber there about 2 yrs ago and 4’s are not uncommon). Have also talked about maybe try and find some smallies (I know a couple places with clear water and deep pools) may even hit a few other trout waters. Come on guys someone needs to tag along with us.
Catch and Release in the Missouri trout parks ends this weekend–last day is Feb. 8th. Keep that in mind if you are planning on stopping at Roaring River the last weekend in Feb. Of course if you just wait until Mar. 1 you can line up with the other 2400 souls…
ok well thanks for that I would have called the park before hand but I forgot that they close that down WAY early before the elbow fest begins. but that will still leave several others wide open to us, may even try and get after the ever elusive McCloud strain rainbow.
We are looking to leave and head down February 25th and stay the 26th and 27th then come home on the 28th. Baring any major precipitation they should be down to a pretty slim generation schedule. They did bleed beaver down and thus had to bleed Table Rock down but they’re within a foot or two of the generation pool height so that should stop here in a few days and then just ride out till we start getting good spring rains. As far as hectic work, it sounds like you need to take a trip so I’ll keep you informed and hope you can make it. Oh yeah did I mention we are planning on night fishing??? If you’ve never done it then believe me you should, it’s well worth it.
I would if I could. I’ll get there some time this year. I promised my wife when she gets done with chemo and radiation we’d go back down for a week. Good luck and catch some big ones!
Looks like just you and me man… dang sure was hoping for a couple extras. Hope they stop generating while we are there but if not we’ll be on Crane, Capps, or Hickory maybe a couple others that shall remain nameless for a some smallies, we’ll just have to see what we can make happen. As of right now Table Rock is within a few feet of generation pool level so if no major precipitation comes that way we’ll be in business for a couple of the afore mentioned as well as Taney at night baby!!! Oh well we’ll have enough flies for a dozen of us and we’ll make sure they get wet even if we just have to swim with them in our pockets.
