Fly fishing for trout on Lake Tanneycomo with Captain Darren Sadler. - I have been fishing for trout on Lake Tanneycomo (the tailwaters below the dam of Table Rock Lake, for 8 years annually and 15 years with many trout locations throughout the USA and many guides so I know a good guide when I experience one. I fished with a number of guides and Captain Darren Sadler with Mozark Fishscapes stands out in many ways as an outstanding guide. First he is very friendly, kind enthusiastic and patient. He will make it a fun and successful day. Second he is a knowledgeable expert about fly fishing for trout and has applied his skills with his many years of guiding anglers. Anyone can fish but catching fish is another matter. Captain Darren knows how to catch trout. He will pick up quickly on your level and skills and he will teach you and/or recommend how to improve your skills. Bottomline you will catch fish. I was very impressed how he quickly adjusted the rigging, fly selections and locations in the river to match the conditions of the water flow. He was quick in making all these adjustments to put you on fish and to catch the fish. Third he has all the right equipment to optimize your time on the water. His new drift boat/jet boat has plenty of room for two anglers front and back. Captain Darren maneuvers this boat with precise skill in controlling the placement of the boat with the oars putting you in the right position quickly in all types of water flow to catch fish. The jet boat allows him to quickly move you back to good waters to repeat drifts through areas again to put you on the fish. This type of boat optimizes and maximizes your day giving you higher odds and time in the right areas. You will not waste time rowing up stream to the good waters. I highly recommend Captain Darren Sadler! You will have a fun and successful day and you will learn a thing or two.
