Watch the forecasts and real time generation. Lately the swpa's 7 hasn't worked on their keyboards, so a 35 = 7, or minimum flow. Do a rough estimate of 4 mph for the river to rise and 2 mph for it to fall, and choose your place. For wading, I would fish up by the dam on both rivers, the narrows, roundhouse shoals, red bud shoals, and rim shoals on the white. On the Norfork I would fish Ackerman access. Don't forget the North Fork of the White up in Missouri. Of all of those, in minimum flow right now, I would drive to round house shoals access, and wade across to the other side of the island and fish the skinny water that none of the boats bother with. You're going to want some ruby midges.

Sounds like a great day of fishing! Big motor on that brown. But, you left out all the important things: where were you fishing what color zig jigs

Streamers: double deceivers, one in yellow and olive, the other in white, or white and bubble gum. Fishing them is easy. Go out at the beginning of the big push, at least 3 units, in the morning or afternoon, just after the trash is gone, and bang the banks. Ride that high water as far as you want to take it. Nymphs: I hate to say it, but you can't beat an egg pattern right now. Something larger like a y2k bi colored uv cerise and uv chartreuse. Right now, unless a big cold snap comes in, you'll be using those nymphs not the big streamers.

Awesome thanks. I do about the same, only difference is that I don't use 2 different drag chains for water types, I add and remove links.

Patiently waiting for Ham to post about his drag chain setup.

okay, I need to see the drag chain design.

#10 micro jig hook found at every fly shop, and Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, the thick stuff, from Walmart or Hobby Lobby.

I watched you guys talk about this last year, I'm a lurker. I would love to be involved this year if at all possible.

Yes, it's caddis time.
