Low Water In The Mornings

[taxidermist]

Mornings the water has been zero to one unit. Making Rim great for fishing as well as from the state park down. afternoons the corp has been bringing 6-8 units on line. the water arrives at the Cotter area about1 to 2 pm.

Fishing has been excellent for browns and bows. Possibly the best brown trout fishing I have ever seen.

I am READY to drift a Zebra midge.

Maybe I can get out soon.

What were you using to get the browns?

[taxidermist]

Rattle traps and crank baits, jerk baits really almost anything.

I think it was Monday of this week Guide Carl Jones was fishing in the morning near Renyolds hole with live bait and caught a 80lb blue catfish. Look for pics in the Mountain Echo.

Wet waded at Rim Shoals on Wednesday. Water never really got down like I wanted it too and once Iwas really dialed in the rise hit. I got 29 to hand with a zebra midge. I jad some nice chunky bows and one cutt that survived a blue heron. Fish sure were colored up and pulling hard.

I'm dreaming of prolonged low water.

I've fished low water from my boat a couple of times the last few days. The river is really fishing well. Zig jigs are catching > 10 fish an hour with 13 inch fish being the most common size. Mostly bows where I am fishing, but one in 20 is a Cutt. I have caught anything over 17 inches lately.
