RAIN!
Wow! Did we get a ton of rain last night. Taneycomo looks like they are running generators, but it is just the runoff from all the rain we got.
Generation continues to be off during the morning hours until noon or 1:00 p.m. This may change with all the rain we just got. Once noticeable thing over the past month has been how the fishing has not been very good until later in the morning….10:00 a.m. and on. This is probably the result of the dissolved oxygen levels. If you check these readings, they are in the 3.00 ppm range early (6:00 a.m.) and as the morning progresses, it will climb up into the 4.00 ppm, 5.00 ppm, etc. Usually when it hits 4.00 ppm, fishing starts up and as it climbs, fishing just gets better. Bad news is that about the time it really starts getting good, it’s time for the generators and there goes the wade fishing!
Dustin – 7/8/24
Dana on the water last Tuesday with Don and Dustin. Slow morning, but they did land some on the P&P, black copperhead midge, under an orange egg.
Last Wednesday and Thursday, Gina had Mary and Rick from Kansas City on the water. They had a worked hard but had a couple good days on the Ruby 2, Tiger Tail and an olive wooly bugger. Like I mentioned, earlier, as it got closer to time for the generators to come on, fishing picked up.
Friday, Michael and Chase fished with Dana. Pink egg pattern was their saver of the day.
John – 7/12/24
Carolyn had John and his friend Adonis, on the water, This was the first time for Adonis with a fly rod, so they worked on casting a little. Best patterns were a black copperhead midge under a pink Eggstasy.
Adonis – 7/12/24
Saturday, Dana had Todd from Texas on the water Another tough day but they caught on the olive wooly bugger.
