Since Table Rock turned over and the dissolved oxygen levels have increased the fishing, numbers wise, has been nothing short of spectacular. On Dec. 16, using a size 18 zebra Copper Dun I caught about 15 Rainbows in an hour and easily missed that many. Size wasn’t great but the numbers and fun was. All the guides out of the shop are doing great. Also played around with a 1/32 Brown Marabou Jig and caught a few on it. I used 6x Orvis Mirage Tippet and had the indicator set at about two feet. I was fishing from about 4 feet of water out into six feet.

Guide Bob Klein of “Bob’s Guide Service” – The following standard default techniques produces fish routinely:
Water Off Conditions (not generating power from Table Rock Dam) – Air injected night crawlers or Orange and Chartreuse Power Eggs, with the Chartreuse on shank of hook and the Orange on tip. Fish them off the bottom with no heavier than 4 pound leader, size 8 or smaller hooks, and just enough split shot to cast. Place the shot so that the bait floats 12-18 inches off the bottom. Spin-A-Lures and Little Cleos have been working well.
Water On Conditions – Orange and Chartreuse Power eggs with the Chartreuse on shank of hook and the Orange on tip, white Power Eggs, bubble gum power bait, or inflated night crawlers bounced off the bottom using the standard "Lake Taneycomo Drift Rig." which is readily available at all Marinas and most resorts on the Lake.
