Sounds like a great day Ham....we went out Wed....didn't get out til after 8 am...was already pretty hot . Bite was slow . Lost a couple of jigs , went to tie on a new one and couldn't find the hole ! Then realized I didn't have my glasses on . Looked around...nowhere . Had taken my hat off...glasses next , put on my sunscreen....dunked my hat in the water and forgot my glasses were in it . First time in my life I have lost a pair of glasses !

I just read through this post from beginning to end . I am new to the river and see a lot of the same people contributing to this site. Been 3 years since this post started and the questions about min. flow were still new . What do some of you who posted on this think now ? Just curious.........I am sure there are pro's and con's with all of this .

My grandson used a Zig Jig for his first time . I think this look said it all....he was hooked . All he wanted to do after this was cast and jig....

Thanks for the info....everything I can learn helps . So many choices when it comes to equipment...just like hunting which I do a lot of . I have been tying right to the jig...what is this about leaders ? I like to be flexible with my gear to use fishing different fishing situations...lake...river....ponds , but hope to have a couple nice trout rods just for the boat . My wife likes to use worms and power baits....she's not into the jig's so I like to keep 4 rods in the boat all the time . Trying to find out what is right . Thanks....Stop and say hi if you see us on the river...camo rig....

Ham Enjoy reading your post's....learning about this river is a hands on experience as you told me before ..BUT...reading these posts are very helpful. This is my first year boating it from Rim Shoals . Bought a supreme this winter . I live on the ridge right above it . I'm just beginning at 57...5 more years of work and I'll be on the river everyday . I am waiting for retirement before trying fly fishing....got to get immersed in something when that time comes....but here lately I am doing more and more fishing with the Zig Jigs . Loads of fun . What is your rod and reel , line ect.....when using them ? I have several cheap rods and reels and hope one day to spend some money on something better and more specific to this type fishing on the White . What I have found is my smallest (and probably cheapest ) rod is the ticket . Using a small cardinal reel with 5lb. mono....soooo many choices of rods and reels out there . Thanks for the info....Brian

Thanks.....we'll be out there as much as possible this year....

I am relatively new to boating in the river . Have only been out in our new boat 3 or 4 times . We put in at rim shoals . So far we have been out with minimum flow and 4 generators . We have always gone up river and fished down . Would like to go down river to crooked creek area and fish there . Below the catch and release . What do I need to watch for , is it doable with min. flow ? Do I need to hug a certain bank...ect....ect.... Any info would be greatly appreciated....Thanks

thanks...
