thanks guys, i cant wait to come up to the white river this spring maybe ill just stock up on microjigs then. i appreciate all the responses.
i read about u guys at the dam store night fishing. What do you use at night
I live in oklahoma and come to the white river to fish at spider creek twice a year. I have just recently started fishing the lower illinois in oklahoma. The beaver dam store in eureka sells the little 1/300 oz micro jigs in little plastic tubes. I have had a lot of luck with these jigs but can not find them any where around here. Does any one know if these are a locally made lure or can i buy them online? Thanks
Zack
hey zach the 21 incher didnt have a tag or any thing but man what a fight.. I caught it across the river from the first parking lot off of the highway before you get to the dam. there are some riffles that flow over some big rocks into a small pool. I was throwing those jigs right at the rocks above the pool and slowly retrieveing I didn't think i was going to land it i was using a ultralight spinning reel with 4 lb test.
Who do I call to find out if the water is running on the lower illinois? Also are the fish biting year around like on a very cold day in february and are there any secrets anyone wants to share about catching trout in the winter.
THIS IS COOL I HAVE LIVED IN OK ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER FISHED THE LOWER ILLINOIS I HAVE ALWAYS GONE TO ARK AND FISHED THE WHITE RIVER BUT THIS YEAR I FOUND THE ILL I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD OF IT BUT I GUESS WAS JUST NOT CONFIDENT THERE WOULD BE FISH THERE BUT WOE WAS I WRONG THIS DEC I CAUGHT A 21 INCH BOW ON A OLIVE MICRO JIG AND LANDED 15 OTHER FISH THAT SAME DAY ON THE JIG
I FOUND THESE MICRO JIGS IN EUREKA SPRINGS AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM IN OKLAHOMA BUT CANNOT FIND THEM DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF A LOCAL TACKLESHOP THAT HAS THEM
THEY ARE THE BEST LUER I HAVE EVER USED FOR TROUT
