Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Tanneycomo 11/27/06:

Best fly patterns for the week: Still several big brown trout were caught this past week. The best fly patterns have been sow bugs, G bugs, scuds, soft shell scuds and bit scuds in grey, olive, brown and black all in size #16 - #20. Most of the fish are still being caught relatively close to the dam and with the nice weather the area has been crowded, please remember to be courteous.

Best spinning tackle: There is still a little water being run for about an hour a day but most of the time it is before sunrise or after sunset so the fishing has been a little tough. Try Berkley Power Eggs or Power Nuggets in yellow, red, pink or orange, the best method has been mixing a couple of colors on a hook to draw strikes on a drift rig. Live crawlers have also been very effective. Rapalas fished close to wood cover will work for bigger fish around the Cooper Creek area. If there is any current try small Mepps Aglia, Roostertail and Super Duper spinners and Little Cleo or Buoyant spoons.
