Dang dude I think you found them !

What fly pattern were you using?

Amazing to capture these record trout in their natural habitat. Taneycomo is a phenomenal fishery. We are very lucky to have it.

Beaver Lake as of May 12 is 4ft above power pool and they are not releasing much water from Beaver so I would think they will keep the gates open for a while at TRL . Enjoyed the video Phil .

I'm surprised that you don't swap those out for single hooks.

Bonus coverage , enjoyed it Thanks Phil

Look at the mammatus clouds building right in the first shot. You can see that a storm is coming.

Just a comment if you don’t mind, been fishing Taneycomo over 30 years. Bumping along and then no bumps means a hole, and Trout like sitting in those holes. Lowering the rod tip lowers bait into the hole, and BAM, fish on! Thanks.

I like that area.. was in an aluminum boat one time and the back current started pulling me towards the dam ... that sucked . But it's a darn good spot for sure

When I read taneycomo regulations on mdc website they say using soft plastics near the dam is prohibited, by that do they mean power bait or any kind of soft plastics including jigs?

Hyalella azteca

i thought this was gonna be deep water. you have about 4' from indicator...not deep at all

Do you know what those plants are called at :59? I have the exact ones in my local lake

Wow that’s a lot of scuds, there must be nice fish in there

What are you using for bait?

That's pretty cool

Nice Brown Phil 👌

Why are they so curious and interested in your hand? Every time I see scuds I can't even get close before they are 1k feet away😢

Wow! Send me a big scoop of those beauties!!!! They want to go on vacation in my pond and aquarium!!! 😁😁😁😉

To continue fishing with a brown bear 30' away is idiotic.

Beautiful

Thanks Phil, great pictures and camera work!

Will a 20ft bass boat make it through there

Nice calm in depth explaining 👍

Nice was this around the narrows?

Love these videos... Trythisonemv

How long has it been since you were able to do this at Taneycomo? I will be there in a month.

Still living and eating.

👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’ve caught more Browns the last month than I have the past 2 years combined . Used to be I’d catch maybe 1 a week now I’m catching 2-4 a day & some are very nice .

Nice fish

I would be interested in buying some yellow jigs from you if you decide to make some. I do pretty well on them for crappie and white bass.

People may doubt using that light of line but let me tell you....these big trout especially steelhead are extremely line shy and if you play the fish right and have good gear you can land them on light line.

What's the chance of that Trout still being in Taneycomo? 😅

No barbs on jigs.

I agree, probably the best day I've seen you have for consistently large fish.

Please tell me his name is Rocky. Jim

What size is that hook? Maybe a 20?

Are you on Instagram I would like to see more of your content

Ahh freshly grown tannerite

That’s a nice fish!

Do you have one where you add some flash to them!?

Simply is key

thanks Phil , awesome

He made it look easy 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

My favorite place

Looks like a triploid

Thanks for the videos, Phil, I enjoy them. I'm wondering if you could tell me if an 8 foot medium light, fast action spinning rig is too heavy for trout fishing? Thanks

Very interesting

Love it 👍🇺🇸
