feeds@yuku.com (jfrantom) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:53:40 GMT

I will be in Branson the last week of December. Look forward to some fly fishing down by the hatchery. Any suggestions on flies, leader sizes & tippet would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Who to call for Taneycomo water levels/conditions?

feeds@yuku.com (wb4tjh) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:10:14 GMT

Being a new resident to SW Missouri, I'm really anxious to have a go wading at Taneycomo (no gottum boat). Who/what would be the best source of info on water levels, ect., so I could plan a drive over. I'm in Monett and only about 40 miles from Branson. Thanks.

Project Healing Waters Retreat - Sept 18-10

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:07:14 GMT

Phil Lilley and PHw put together a retreat on Taneycomo this last weekend. I was honored to get to know these vets and be able to fish with them. Dan Sears joined me there as well as a handful of other guides. It was a great time all around. I will have a full report later, but for now, here are some pictures I took during the retreat.

Tent Camping

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 21:15:27 GMT

Do any of the resorts near the dam offer tent sites? Actually concidering a blow up mattress in the back of the Outback, but not sure the local alw enforcement would care for that.

Waking up early to the sound of rain was not a good omen, but I managed to let the killer Yorkies out for their morning lawn watering and fertilization along with the newets edition to the family - Maggie, the ear-draggin'-the-ground Basset. I took a look at the radar while having my first cup of coffee. I decided there was time to fix a little breakfast and relax before heading out. Lightening is not my favorite fishing partner.

I did make it around 10:30 and the omens got...

Taney Article in Fly Fisherman Mag

feeds@yuku.com (cfowler) — Fri, 08 May 2009 09:03:18 GMT

I think it was Fly Fisherman, could have been Fly Rod and Reel. There was a high school girl that caught a 15.9 lb brown. The fish looked rediculous! I think it was something like 29 inches long and 26 inch girth. A true pig. It was just a short little feature but she was sight fishing in maybe this past fall or winter.

Weekend Taney report

feeds@yuku.com (Terry Beeson) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:17:47 GMT

I hit Taneycomo a couple of times this weekend, and the fishing was pretty good. Got down Saturday just before it started raining around 10am. Tried a couple of streamers, but noticed a lot of midging going on, so switched to a nymph. The trick was to keep it shallow. I was fishing 30 inches below my indicator and not doing to well, when I made a couple of really long casts and my indicator moved down to the 16 inch mark. BAM!! And then another... and another. Every other cast resulted...

Is it that hard to fish??

feeds@yuku.com (doc2179) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:31:59 GMT

Hey guys and gals!! When I was down fishing the White River last weekend one of the guides told us that fishing the lakes there was not easy unless you fished them all the time. That a person who didn't fish the lake all the time wouldn't have much luck catching any fish. Well, on my way home from White River we stopped to visit some friends of the family who live a few miles from Taneycomo. Now I want to check this lake out.

Is it true that it is really that hard to...

Any Local Tips?

feeds@yuku.com (BFTMASTER) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:59:36 GMT

Sometime this year I will visiting Taneycomo with family. I love to wade fish but don't know if Taney has much to offer in this realm. The pictures I find and the forums I read seem to indicate that Taney is more boat friendly than wadeable. Boats are fine, and easy to rent, but what methods for flyfishing from a boat work on this awesome body of water? Is it mainly deep water presentations? Is the water clear? Several times Tim from Tim's Fly at Roaring River has told me to go...

Low Water Comming this way

feeds@yuku.com (stinnetti) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:31:24 GMT

I heard on the news that there going to bring the water elevation down on Taney to fix some gates at Power Site Dam. I would imagine that will make the wade fisherman happy !!

Flood Gates Open

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:12:40 GMT

Flood gates opened Friday afternoon around 2:00. The Corps is limiting powerhouse generation to about 8,000 cfs because of low DO and making up the difference of a total of 15,000 cfs with spillway releases which will raise water temperature. So it may be interesting to follow along and see the effect.

Fished Taney for a few hours before they generated

feeds@yuku.com (flytiehunt) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:38:51 GMT

Taneycomo

Taney was scheduled to generate at 10am so I left the house at 6am to get in a few hours before picking up River from the Grandparents house. I got on the water around 8:15. The parking lot wasn't all the way crowded, but there were a few fisherman already in the water. I walked down the steps by chute two and noticed a few things different about the river. Along the banks there seems to be a sandy type...

Taney? Will it be shut off Saturday

feeds@yuku.com (Jimmy T) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:45:16 GMT

Heard a rumor that the water will be shut off as work will be done on the Dam Site Dam.

Damn there are a lot of Dams in that last sentence.

Big Brown on Taney

feeds@yuku.com (Danoinark) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:57:03 GMT

Bill Babler reports a 25 + brown caught on Taney this week. Bad news is that it was on power bait, and the angler reports he is having it "stuffed".
After someone told him about replica's he said he had wished he had known.

General report on Taney

feeds@yuku.com (flytiehunt) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 08:16:29 GMT

I had a break from guiding so my dad and I hit Taney because the generation schedule was awesome. The day before my dad was telling me he got to fish Taney and it was one of those days you dream about. They had four generators running if you called in, but if you were out there you could see it was a lot lower than that, and most of the day. We fished for about five hours on the upper end and caught a lot of quality trout. The strange thing about the fishing conditions today was where the...

My wife has a trip planned to Branson area for the week after the 4th any chance of catching low water?
