White Ribbon/blue Ribbon Area

[ozark trout fisher]

I will be down to the Current River next weekend, and while I plan to spend most of my time at Montauk, I would really like to try a little fishing down in the river below. Can you catch trout on spinners effectively near Tan Vat, or Baptist? Also, I was curious if anyone thinks that they would have stocked the area near Welch Spring in the White Ribbon Area yet. If so, what baits or lures should I try?

OTF...should be able to call the hatchery, they won't tell you the day they stock but should tell you if it has been stocked yet.

Thanks. I'll do that a couple days before I go.

I'm sitting at the lodge at Montauk right now and can tell you the river is packed with fish. I fished all day Friday at Tan Vat access, down to probably a mile or so below. Then Saturday I fished down at Parker Hollow and down and there were fish everywhere. I heard they stock lots of browns sometime in March and I may have hit it just right, I caught browns over rainbow 3 to 1.
