Went fishing with my brother in law Craig and niece Danielle twice over the weekend, on 27 and 28, under water off conditions between about 0640 and 0930. The fishing was great on both days averaging about 30 fish to the boat each day and about twice that may hits. On Sunday one of those fish was a 17-19 inch Brown and about seven of the others were 15 inch plus Rainbows. The vast majority, 90% plus, were caught using the 100th ounce River Run Peach Fur bug fished on an indicator at a depth of about 4 feet. The rest including about a 16 inch Rainbow were caught on a size 18 Rusty Zebra Midge fished at the same depth. Both the midge and fur bug were fished using 6x Orvis Mirage fluorocarbon tippet. We fished between Lookout Hole and Fall Creek.

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.
