We fish several trout tourneys in january and February on Taneycomo that Lilleys Landing puts on. I used to always look forward to March 1st (opening day) at Maramec, but it doesn't have the same luster after fishing Taneycomo several times in the two months leading up to it. I'm sure I'll still go though.
This was two weeks ago down on Taneycomo in the RAW trout tournament. Took 2nd out of 72 boats!
