Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Tanneycomo 12/05/06:

Best fly patterns for the week: The weather hasn’t hurt the trout fishing; in fact the cold has chased away most of the crowds. Several big browns caught as well as a few big rainbows this past week. Scuds, bit scuds, g-bugs, soft shell scuds and sow bugs in size #16 - #20 are all very effective offerings, use natural colors; olives, tans and browns are best. Dress for the weather and you have a chance to catch some true trophy fish right now.

Best spinning tackle: Drift rigs are producing numbers through out the day; mixed colors of Berkley Power Nuggets and Power Eggs, live night crawlers and wax worms have all been effective baits drifted through the deeper pools. If you are there when the Corps of Engineers are running water try Rooster Tails, Mepps Aglia, and Panther Martin spinners, small Rapalas, Little Cleo and Buoyant Spoons in the pools and around laydowns and wood cover.
