OKFlyFisher44 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 The crew and I hit the White River this weekend with the drift boats in hopes of catching some big browns on streamers. We had a great time and caught a bunch of fish on streamers both days. Our biggest browns were from 17" to 23" between the guys in Corey's boat and my boat. The weather was perfect for throwing streamers and we had the river to ourselves in the particular sections we floated.

Greasy B Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Great trip, amazing river. My best brown in several years came from the same area last month. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

Members MattTucker Posted February 6, 2012 Members Posted February 6, 2012 It was good to finally at least say hello at the Wildcat Access on Saturday morning. Wish we had the same trip, but it is what it is and that is why it is fishing. It was a tough bite for us from Dam to Wildcat the two days that our group floated it, only three fish landed at around 20" for the trip out of our boats. The drift boat craze is definitely on down on the White though.....never have seen so many down there than this weekend. It was cool. --Tucker The Ozark Chronicles The pursuit of Ozark trout on the fly.
Justin Spencer Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Nice work, you made the right choice, river here got pretty big and muddy over the weekend.

sean c Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Nice work, you made the right choice, river here got pretty big and muddy over the weekend. Yeah it was tough Saturday we managed one fish. We had a blast Friday Justin. Chance great meeting you guys. Let your crew know they are not half as ugly in pictures as they are in real life. Look forward to doing it again sometime.
Justin Spencer Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Sean Had a great time Friday also, kept my streak of nothing but small stocker browns on Big articulated streamers alive! Hope that free Three Legged Mule dinner was good!
