With the Eleven Point blown out and the other freestone rivers in Missouri blown out, a couple of friends & I decided to drive down to the White river for an afternoon below Bull Shoals since the generators were off. We got there and of course two generators came online. GREAT! We were annoyed, but we drove over to the golf course side and were surprised we could still wade fine and we were real happy to see how few fishermen were there. In fact shocked us how few there were. The fishing was good and the fish were beautifully colored. We caught nothing but rainbows, though a brown or two would have been nice. The only surprising thing was once the water came on, john boats came up. A couple of them routinely went above the legal line. Oh well. We caught fish on sow bugs, bloody Marys and egg patterns. A fun day.

Brian, glad you had a good time. The fishing has been good. Next time you are in the area stop by for a cold one!

[Brian Sloss]

Will do. I was half thinking I might run into up by the dam. We got in about 4 hours of fishing.

You fished on the last day that water will be open for the next 3 months... now those fish have it all to themselves. Peace and quiet.

Glad you got to fish it.
