That's why I read this site. The people work together and offer help. Most sites the people act like they protecting the family jewels! Keep up the good work and thanks to everyone. Dean

You might check out basszone.com. It has been my experience that those guys aren't as helpful as the people on this page.

My friend I traveled over to the White and fished last week. Neither of us are very experienced fly fishers but we did all right catching about 25 fish. On the 7th we fished near the Wildcat Shoals resort where we stayed, but didn't have any luck. On the 8th there was no generation in the morning and we fished the narrows. We finally started using a Y2K pattern with a split shot and caught some in fast deep water. Once the water started to rise we went to the Norfork right below the Dam. We caught some fish that evening on a copper zebra midge. The next day Bull Shoals was generating again so we went back to Norfork Dam. We caught some more there on the copper Zebra midge. About 10 we went to the catch and release area for about 3 hours. We caught several fish on black and red zebra midges. Then unfortunately we had to head back home.

I wish more people would post reports but I will admit that I am one that doesn't. I don't think I know enough to think anything I say would help. Anyway, for what is worth I fished the dam area on Saturday and Sunday morning without much luck. I caught two LM's and one SM. All of them on a 4 inch ringed worm with a skirted tail(Gene Larew). It was split shat rigged with a bullet weight about 18 in. up. From what I have read since, I am quessing that was too big of weight. Itried a grub and a twin tailed skirted grub as well without any luck.

Thanks for input Bill!

This is my first post but I have a regular reader for the past year. I am heading to Branson tommorrow with my wife and am going to be fishing for bass a couple of days. Wondered if there was any new advice beyond what has already been posted. I will probably fish the dam area and south. Thanks in advance.
