With a week off of football before my Steelers played in the Super Bowl I decided to head to Taneycomo for the weekend.  This is the off season for Branson so the crowds and traffic are basically gone which makes it that much better.  The temperature was frigid and did not get above freezing all weekend.  Saturday was sunny and clear making the day of fishing a little easier and Sunday was cloudy making the cold even colder if that is possible.  Temperature aside, this was one of my most productive fishing trips I have ever had.  On Saturday I started using a #16 BH Pheasant Tail that proved to be the hot fly of the day.  As my buddy and I were fishing the fast run that is known as the rebar hole we saw a lot of fish being caught by everybody there.  I was able to land 20 rainbows on my Pheasant Tail.  The trout were an average of 12 inches with a few in the 15 to 16 inch mark.  My highlight of the day came when I put on an Olive Woolly Bugger that I had tied myself and landed two trout on that fly.  I had about a 4lber come up and take a swipe at it but I missed him and could not get him to look again.  I finished the day up by the dam with another woolly bugger catching a few more trout.  The day ended with 28 caught making this my best day of fly fishing yet.  Sunday seamed to be colder with no sun but it was just as productive as Saturday.  I was using a tan scud and landed around 20 trout in a short period of time.  Out of all the fish caught that weekend I was only able to land one brown and the rest were bows.  My camera went down so I did not get a lot of pictures on the day nor was there time to take any with trout after trout on both days.
