Comment:	Best fly patterns: Still generating and drawing the big lake down as fast as possible. San Juan worms and egg patterns continue to be dominating in blood red, pink and chartreuse. In the afternoon scuds and g-bugs seem to be a little more productive, tan olive and ginger have been the best colors fished in eddies and slack areas through out the lake. Best spinning tackle: Drifting continues to be excellent, multiple fish on every drift from Cooper through Branson. Power or Gulp eggs in sunrise, orange and chartreuse have been the bait of choice with live red worms or night crawlers a close second. Pay close attention to any slack water areas behind islands, docks and other current breaks as multiple fish will hang in these areas. The upper three miles of Taneycomo are ideal for wading fishermen. The regulations there are strict and somewhat complicated, but the outcomes are worth it. The remaining 20-ish miles of the river are more suited to those fishing from a boat, from the bank, or from one of the many commercial trout docks along the shore. The regulations loosen along this stretch. Fishermen may keep 4 trout daily, of which only 1 may be a brown trout. Rainbow trout must be less than 12" or greater than 20" to harvest. Brown trout must be greater than 20" to harvest.
