Fishing Between Sowbug Tying

[Nighthawk]

two friends and i hit the river at the campground below the dam between tying sessions at sowbug at low water on Friday and Sat. afternoon. between the 3 of us we caught over 100 trout in the two days. the hot flies were the little white lie and a copper dun midge under an indicator. when they turned the water on Sat. at 4pm, we jumped down to Wildcat and kept catching them.

a great couple with a place at wildcat called us up from the river at quitting time and gave us bottled water to drink. we stayed there chatting for an hour, and found out how fine the folks in NW Ark. really are.

one of the finest weekends of friendship and fishing i have ever had. i will be sure to buy my Ark. license again this year and enjoy this great fishery.

we really wanted to catch a cutthroat or brookie but caught only rainbows and one 18" brown. we came to jokingly refer to the rainbows as "those darn ole trash fish" which could not have been further from the truth of course:)

my only issue was cold weather and leaky waders on Friday.
