Put in at White Hole Sat p, about 2 ran to the dam. Dam Land line claimed two units on, but noway one at best. Not much happened in the C&R. did not see anything caught. Went on down the south side caught some bows, average to small size. silver CD-3 &5 &7, gold did not do any better. Tried the middle of river not much going on there, few fish being caught even by the chumming guides.

Zilch on the north side, fished to the Stetson hole a few bows in the middle on White and red Power bait on a 6 Eagle Claw crappie hook, Carolina rigged 1/8 bullet sinker.

Just above White Hole about 90 minutes before to dark, fishing picked up. Suckers were facing the bank.

Bows and small browns picked up.

Down thru White Hole to the ramp Small browns did very well on Sliver CD-3 Rapala, Hit it again with gold and nothing.

Sunday Put in at Rim Shoals due to no generation. Ran up river to Cotter.

Silver CD-5 did pretty good. Wife did very well on three white and two red Power bait eggs on the one larger hook again Carolina rigged.

I tried a variety of Rapala's and the results were about the same until about 5 pm. from Redbud Shoals down to the beginning of the C&R

From 5pm on the Brown trout action was excellent. But floating Jointed worked the best. just barely and Imean just barley moved, just enough to make it wobble.

all the big fish are not a the dam. Not by a long shot.

One thing to notice is the numbers of yellow perch beginning to show up in the river. I have seen ahuge ncrease int he numbers and size.

Catching a lot of small walleye also, by small 9 to 11 inch range, with an occasionally slam by larger eyes. Just cant get the hook set on the larger eyes.

There is no size limit on White River on Walleye. Daily limit applies.

What is the best way to fish for these river walleye and where on the river is the best place for them?

[taxidermist]

I dont think there is a best way or best place, they are where they are. We have found them in the middle of the river near Gastons, along the rocky shore.

I would imagine a few walleye are going to find there way to the Buffalo river and make a home there.

I fished yesterday from about 10:30 am to 6 pm. I put in at Rim Shoals and fished my way down river. I ended up getting 71 to the boat. Wind really gave me fits until about 3 pm. I really wanted to catch 100 and I had lots of bites and lots of other fish hooked, but I caught what I caught.

Lots of smallish Browns. Lots of chunky Rainbows. A couple of smallies and a nice LMB. I also caught one very large and very cold Bluegill.

I haven't caught a walleye out of the White in a while and I've never caught a yellow perch. I must not be holding my mouth right.

I used Rapala F7's and 1/8 oz Zig Jigs in a varity of colors on 6 lb line.

Bigger browns have been slow for me. lots of the little 6-10 inch brown trout.

Did find a huge school of larger bows at the last dock before Angels, lots of nice hungry bows near the houses across from the railroad trestle.

Lots of fish in Shoestring.

Afraid to much work getting in the way of fishing going to have to stop other things and get fishing back in the top priority spot.
