I’m going fly fishing at night for trout at taniecomo lake by Branson Missouri. Beings it’s been 35 years since I’ve used a fly rod I thought I should see if I was still capable of using one. Caught 3 big green sunfish over a pound and a dozen large mouth bass from tiny to just over a pound. I still got it. Here’s a few pictures, enjoy.

You will never forget the technique, it's like riding a bike. Good luck on your trip. I hope they keep the gates closed for you. I have never fished the big browns down there at night. It should be great.

Great job Rut, looks like you certainly do. Good luck on the trip, and thanks for the pictures.

Those panfish make for good target practice.
I didn’t know those big green sunfish were in that little pond. I’ll be going down there targeting them for catfish bait, the flatheads will love them. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them.

Nice job rut. What flies were you using? I’m going to take my fly rod out on Guntersville and see what I can do.
I was using a little green popper with green feather tail.

Thanks. I think I have a couple of those.

Yes indeed...you have proven that you still have the knack! Awesome! Great photos too by the way! I was lucky to be spending a "quick weekend" getaway at Taney many years ago, and as always, if there is any chance to fish I bring a rod. Scooped up a non-resident license the day we arrived, and managed to go out one night to fish for those big browns. Caught one and considered it a successful night. I have to admit that it was "shoulder to shoulder" styled fishing where I was...but it was still a ton of fun and a memorable experience!
Enjoy the fishing when you get to it!
