White River - Rim Shoals 7-4-11

[Ham]

I had re-spooled a couple of spinning rods and a bait casting reel and I wanted to trail the line out before a creek trip. I also needed to run the trout boat soooo I gave the OOT folks time to head back to where they live and headed to Rim about 5 pm.

The water was as trashy as the women Bill Clinton hooks up with. Baits picked up gobs of algae on nearly every cast. Fishing was very poor.

I got done what I needed done and hung around just long enough to catch one rainbow and hook another pretty decent fish that pulled off.

The high water releases damaged the islands at Rim which was not unexpected.

Maybe we can get some government stimulis money to rebuild the islands at Rim.
