Saturday July 30Th. 2011 Report White River Outfitters Guide Service

[Bill Babler]

Taney is still fishing extremely well from Lilleys' thru the lower restricted zone. Very nice fish are being caught on Crawlers just below the Restricted area and both dry fly and nympth fishng has been very good for not only numbers but quality Bows from the Overlook down to Fall Creek.

Two clients today in the bait zone on Crawlers catching and releasing rainbows over 21 inches with a picture perfect 24 inch 6.5 pounder coming in early before the sun hit the water. Lots of numbers in the 2 pound 18 inch and up range.

Rick Lisek reported this morning fishing in the lower restricted area excellent on 1/256 1/2 green micro's about 4 ft. under an indicator to be simply on fire. Sculpins and terrestials have become the major two food groups in this river section and dry flies of any size between 6 and 12 fished along the shady banks will get some attention.

Day before yesterday we caught very nice numbers of fish just up from Fall Creek on 1/16th. oz green jigs on straight line and also had very good results stripping a size 6 olive bug eyed wooley in the same shady areas.

Scud populations are almost non-existant from Andy's to Fall Creek, but the Sculpins are there by the tens of thousands. Fish are eating them.

Good Luck

Thanks for another great report Bill. Even though it's killing me 'cause i can't climb up in the Gator to fish.
