Fished for about 2 hours this morning. Overcast and a very cold wind, but thankful for wadeable water. Caught 10 fish on vairous midge pupae, with 3 in the slot, including a beautiful 24 in rainbow. No browns. All of the fish looked very healthy, in full spawning colors and strong. No silver bullets. This was only the 2nd time I have fished the Beaver tail, and was pretty impressed. A minimum flow would improve fishing all along the White system, but especially here. Hopefully that happens. Hope I can get out at least once more before the Beaver drawdown starts. It might be tough to find low water anywhere when they do.

Good report. The SWPA site showed very little generation today, and I was really wanting to sneak away from work to get some fishing in. They have been drawing it down a bit at a time, but it is still pretty high. Minimum flow is a nice thought, but it would take some work on Beaver. But with Norfork and Bull Shoals getting it, who knows. The fish we have beenc atching have been very, very healthy. Lots of color. Which area were you fishing in?

If water permits, I am thinking about snekaing up there on friday.

I started fishing at the second access (the one just down from the boat ramp). Caught most of the fish there, but caught the big rainbow just below the riffle at Parker Bend. Next trip will probably be by canoe to see more of the river. I believe you are right about the problem with Beaver and minimum flow. Probably wont happen, at least not anytime soon. Wishful thinking.

Looks like low water tomorrow till 6pm again per SWPA.
