It was the first day with only a 1/2 unit running and the fishing was good and the size was great. We caught multiple fish in the 17-19” range and a beautiful 22 1/4” rainbow. All fish were caught on a scud and size didn’t really seem to matter it was all about getting the drift right. Caught them on mostly light gray tied on a hayabusa 384 fly size 14 and 16. Get out and enjoy the resource! See you on the water! SoMo Fish Co 417-838-3122

Ran 2 trips on Taneycomo the 28th. In the morning all the damage was done under a float with a pink power worm or OSU orange (go pokes). 1/100 head at various depths. In the afternoon they kicked the water on and it was time to drift a scud. Size 14 tied on a hayabusa 384 was the ticket. We had two over 20” and our numbers were decent. It’s hot in the afternoons but when the water is on the fish are biting 👍. Don’t have many openings available in the next several months but if your wanting a trip I can help you find a great guide!

Zero generation and high skies. We caught all our fish under a float. We caught them on everything from small hair jigs to pink power worms on 1/100 oz jig heads. Just bounce around until you find them. When you get in front of them it typically does not take long to get a bite. The big fish of the day was the one pictured a 21 1/4 inch rainbow that was released to be caught another day 👍

7/16/22 - Lake had dropped about 2 feet, grass mats were up out of the water, no water current, tried the Frog, Buzzbait, 12 inch worm, & jig but nothing seem to be better than the other. Fished the docks and the grass, grass edge and bluff banks too. Only managed to a few 12-14 inch black bass. Very tough conditions/Day.
