Maybe this will inspire you to fish the White more often!

I would just like to say that those pictures are 100% fake. Really. These fish aren't in the Beaver tailwater. No need to come here and look for them... Uhm, its a camera trick... honest?

It is posts like this that are going to make people realize that Beaver can be a pretty good fishery if you know what you're doing.

On a serious note, though... I fished today and had steady success after the morning-generation. It really picked up about 1:30 when I hooked into a monster. I knew she was big when the fight started, but she came to within 15 feet of me fairly easy. About the time that I saw her shoulders (they were THIS BIG) she realized what was going on and took off like a torpedo. About 30 feet into my backing I tried too hard to turn her, and snap goes the tippet!

After that I tied on another diamond midge and landed four 15 to 16 inch bows out of the same run. That was good enough for me and I called it a day!
