It's been super hectic in between trips, so I'll just post a report for both days. Phil Lilley has also posted a report and pics, related to our fishing together on Tue.

April 14th (Good Friday)

Arkansas River below Zink Dam

Fished with Smallwood & Dave Whitlock

Water= 68-70 degrees

Water level= 2800 to 450 cfs

Air= high of 90 degrees with strong gusty winds all day.

Caught 1 White Bass, John and Dave no success.

(Jason and Rodney were there and caught only 3 small Stripers; however some bait fishermen were catching some large Stripers up to 19#, weighed by Rodney, around the the PSO area.)

Sorry for the brevity. Been up for 21 hours and beaten by the wind for 12.

Today was the perfect example of why it's called fishing, not catching.kkkkk
