[RiverRunner]

Managed to get in a few hours on the river on Saturday after the deluge. Put in at Cotter City Park after getting blown out by the mud at Norfork. Mainly fished between there and the new 62 bridge. Did pretty well despite the fact that I had not been on this stretch in quite a while and never in low water. I would estimate that we caught about 40 between us with 5 browns in the 17" -19" range. I lost one I would say was 23" -24" just above railroad bridge. All the rainbows were beautiful, and a couple of the browns were putting on spawning colors. Caught almost all on 1/16" jigs, my partner caught one nice brown on a Rogue. Considering the tornadoes the night before and the rain all morning, not a bad day at all.
