Montauk State Park 11/20/2004

Where: Montauk State Park Fished with Matt Tucker from the Ozark Chronicles website along with another member Brent Hinde (Tiny1351). We met at the Hatchery Office around 7:30am. It really pays to get there early because we were the only ones on the stream. Matt and I started fishing just behind the Hatchery Office while Tiny went to the C&R area. I started with a scud under a white stick on indicator. I managed to catch a few on the scud, but was annoyed when the trout started trying to eat my indicator. I promptly swithed to a PMD and began catching fish right off the bat. In the mean time Matt went to see how Tiny was fairing. A little while longer I followed suit and all three of us were fishing in the C&R area. Nice Rainbow from Montauk C&R 
Not long after I caught my largest fish of the day. A four pound rainbow. Tiny helped me land the fish and took a couple of pics. After a couple more casts we walked over to the other spring branch and fished a while. I had a monster brown come from no where and smack my mohair leech. Unfortunately he stole it as well. We fished above the big rock up to the next big riffle catching fish fairly consistently on mohairs. After a brief break we headed back to the cars and went down to the beginning of the bait area (main bridge you cross when heading into the park). We all began catching fish and were able to sight fish to some nice rainbows in the riffles just below the bridge. I walked the bank and pointed out nice fish for both Matt and Brent. The rest of the day we all consistently caught fish. It was a great day and I fished a mohair more than any other day on the water. The mohair might be my new favorite fly. I just need to start tying them.
