On July 25, Ben Roethlisberger, the quarterback of the 2006 Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, his father, Ken, and a friend, Bryon Spear spent a half a day fly fishing on Branson’s Lake Taneycomo with Missouri’s only Orvis Endorsed Outfitter, River Run Outfitters of Branson, Missouri. They were guided by Stan and Carolyn Parker, the owners of River Run, using non motorized western style drift boats, and caught and released over 60 trout during their half day of fishing the upper end of Lake Taneycomo.<\/FONT><\/P><\/FONT>

Guide Bob Klein<\/FONT> <\/STRONG>of “<\/FONT>Bob’s Guide Service<\/FONT><\/A>” \u2013 Ju1 9<\/STRONG>– Chatted with Bob Klein as he was guiding this week. He was fishing night crawlers below Fall Creek and having some success. The following standard default techniques produces fish routinely:<\/FONT><\/P>
\n

<\/FONT><\/P>
\n

Water Off Conditions<\/STRONG> (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.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n

<\/FONT><\/P>
\n

Water On Conditions<\/STRONG> – 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.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
