TroutTechniqueBobbersSeasonSummerStructureRiver ChannelsZero 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 👍

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!

Largemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureDocks7/16/22 - 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.

These guys had a big group to feed and they delivered. Six man limit in a couple hours. We caught em early and often on a Berkley Power Worm and live nightcrawler. Fished the channel edges from Lilleys to Fall Creek.

Launched from Scotty's, trout dock and water was clear down past the landing then became very muddy all the way to the dam. Top water bite was non-existent, tried frog(s) and buzzbait in many areas with no luck. Most grass was blown out. Went up in Bull Creek on the left side and started using the 12" worm, caught 2 over 3lbs and a few shorts. No current from day light until noon! Looked like the level had dropped about 1-2ft. from the night before.
