Met up with Wade and Mike at Fall Creek Inn Friday night around 10:30pm. After checking in and tying up some black mohairs with crystal flash we hit headed for the river.
There were only two other cars in the parking lot when we arrived. They apparently had turned off the water just before we had gotten there and it was still droping. This is usually bad for the fishing. However with in the first ten minuts Mike had a Rainbow on. Not much later Wade landed the nicest Rainbow of the trip. Each of us caught a couple there and then decided to move on down.
The next hole we hit was the rebar hole. If you have ever been to the upper Taney area you will recognize it by three pieces of rebar jutting out of the river. The water was up just a bit so I waded out into the middle of the run using the rebar as a gauge of where I was. This is a very dangerous spot because after the last piece of rebar the river drops into an 8 to 10 foot hole. I quickly landed 3 fish on three consecutive casts and then hollered for Wade to come over. I believe he got a couple of bites but no hookups. We continued on down stream casting and stipping mohairs. Each of us getting the occasional hook up.
The next day we fished from Wades new boat and picked up a few fish during the day and at night.
On the way home Mike and I stopped by Bumsteads restaurant in Ozark, MO. It is a very unique place and worth the stop. The food is awesome as well.
