Size 18 BWO has been working in the afternoons lately.

Wow, this a fishing website... and a darn good one. Go fishing and post a report here or join a Facebook conspiracy page and post this other stuff over there.

Nice ones. This year I have seen more folks using the Euro method here on the White and Norfork. Guess I should give it a try.

😁😁

I buy all my hooks on Ebay from this guy. Great hooks and never had one fail. Great Flies | eBay Stores i

Wow. Take some pics of them dumping if you can.

Good luck to you guys' tomorrow. Post some pics.

I am still very confused as to when this Big Load of water is coming down the river. Beaver, Table Rock. Taney and Bull Shoals are all within power pool. I know if there is a big rain event, they will release water, but that is always what they do. Maybe something else coming??? Please let us know so we can plan for this event.

I am a bit confused. Looks like Beaver is currently at 1120.23. Isn't that the level they want it to be?

Think I will sit this one out.

I went to Ackerman this morning around 10 am after the water went down. Fishing was good with lots of rainbows and a couple of browns. I have noticed that the water is off colored when the generators are running and the river is falling. Then it clears up nicely when the siphon kicks in. I guess the intakes for the generators are at a fixed level of the lake and they are drawing off colored water from that depth. The siphon has 3 different levels they can draw from depending on O2 levels. Bottom line, if the water is off colored when you get there, wait an hour and it clears up nicely when the siphon kicks in. Best flies today were a peach colored egg with a P&P midge behind it. Here's a few pics. The male rainbows are still in their spawning colors. Nothing like what Phil caught yesterday, but still fun. 😮 .

Wow, that is a tank. Congrats. And Kudos on the good release. I have hooked a couple of big rainbows and one big brown in the last few weeks, but all 3 came off after a long fight. Tippet didn't break, they just shook the hook. Darn barbless hooks....

Nice setup I am doing good just to hit them.

They are pretty good eats. Almost as good as rabbit if cooked right. A .17 cal air rifle works great.

Not the first one for 2022, but my daughter caught her last one for 2021 Friday afternoon. We waded at the state park and had a good afternoon. Even caught some on top using a BWO.

Guess we can look forward to the pizza???

Nice hunt and good pics...

I was looking through some old videos and ran across this one that was taken in South Texas after we had our limit. Thought you guys might enjoy...

Another one...

Looks like you are having a good season. I sure miss duck hunting since moving up here from South Texas, but the flyfishing makes up for it. There was some great duck hunting down there... all public and you just needed a shallow running boat or a kayak. Tons of Redheads and Pintails, and a good number of Wigeon, Gadwalls and Teal, but no mallards. I can only remember shooting 2 mallards in 40 years of hunting down there.

Ouch....

Not familiar with the spool gun, but hope it all works out.

Looks like it's time to fire up the TIG.

Looks like a pretty big hole or split. What caused it? Good thing you made it back to the ramp.
