My memory isn't that short. I still remember the fish size 5,10,15 years ago. 'Course I also remember when i paid $0.89 a gallon for gas. Guess this fish size and gas prices are kinda alike. Raise the gas prices and them lower them a little to make ya feel better and shrink the fish sizes and then raise them a little to make you feel better. Wonder what the common denominator in both these scenarios is.....HMMMMM??

Ruthead, Bennett is still a decent place. It just needs some consistency. On the bigger side I mean. I still believe that the fishing is secondary nowadays. I thought we would see a fish cleaning station way before more cabins were built. Guess I was wrong.

Yep, our trailer is still down there and we make 6 or so trips a year and probably always will. Just don't seem to get as excited about the fishing aspect there as we used to. After making our first trip to the white earlier this month we will probably swap a few trips to BSSP for trips to the White. Fished the White for 4 days and never had anyone even close by. Nice!

ruthead, Now that i am retired I would love try the White. I was at Gastons years ago. Just fished from a boat. Any suggestions where to camp and wade fish?

thanks!

We stayed at Rim Shoals Resort (and loved it) so can't help much on the camping part but we fished up and down the river from there. Had a great time. Thought we did pretty good for the first time. i actually got tons of advice from forum members on where to fish and didn't get to hardly any of it. Just gonna have to go back. Darn!

Sorry guys. No report from Charlie either. He was too busy to get a lecture , I mean report from. Fish size has already went back down from what I saw. News needs to travel faster so people don't think the early summer reports of bigger fish will continue all summer. But from the looks of the crowds fishing, it hasn't hurt business much. The place was a zoo even in late evening Sunday.

There were still some of the bigger fish around to see with all the gin clear water and low flow. Watched a few people fishing zone 2 with soft plastic worms too. Amazing!! Blatant disregard for rules.

According to a local shops online report of the meeting things are just perfect. Even mentioned how much food it takes to feed a fish till its release size. Trying to give us all a guilt trip I guess.
