Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Tanneycomo 12/26/06:

Best fly patterns for the week: Big Rainbows are showing with regularity as the Browns have moved back into the depths to recover. Best flies continue to be; g-bugs, scuds, bit scuds, sow bugs and egg patterns in brown, tan, gray, olive and purple in the scuds and bugs while coral and orange have been the best egg colors. The trophy section of the late has been pretty quiet this past week and is prime time to catch a 20”+ Rainbow.

Best spinning tackle: The best techniques continue to be using a drift rig with live crawlers, wax worms or power bait, remember to mix up your colors on the power bait to draw more strikes. Small jigs have also been productive this past week with white and chartreuse being the best colors. Whenever the Corps is running water you can catch several fish on Mepps, Roostertails and Panther Martin in line spinners or Bouyant and Little Cleo Spoons.
