July 16 Fishing Report

Another glorious week has passed here on Lake Taneycomo. It’s been hot! Temperatures have hovered close to 100 each day, but I can honestly say the trout fishing has been equally hot as well.

Doesn’t matter what part of the upper lake we’re talking about, fishing has been good this week. Can’t say as much for the boating skills, or may be I should say etiquette, on the lake. It’s amazing how some boaters don’t have a clue what boating rules are, rules like we have on out streets, roads and highways. Rules, if you break them, can cause damage and injury, tickets and citations. If everyone practiced one thing, just one thing, they’d improve their safe boating skills by 100%. That simple one thing is watch your wake. That and steer clear of fishing lines. Wakes cause boats to rock, cause some boats to actually take on water. They throw people around in the surrounding boats, they knock fishing gear from their perches, they cause stress. And it all can be avoided. The bigger your boat, the bigger your wake.
