Members Otis Roostertail Posted July 12, 2015 Members Posted July 12, 2015 Hit the White River yesterday and today with my two younger sons. Jacob is my youngest and my regular fishing buddy. Matthew lives in Springfield, MO and has not been fishing in two years. Jacob and I decided to hook him up. We put in at Wildcat Shoals and worked the Rainbow Hole and Hightower creek area. We had alot of action on 1/16 oz Rainbow Roostertails. Matthew caught the first fish of the day. We caught several under-size Brownies but did well with Rainbows. The surprise of the day was Jacob's catch of a Sunfish that was close to a pound. Water was running about 6400 CFS average while we were out there. Today we worked the White from Shipps Ferry to the Norfork River (See separate report for Norfork). Tried various lures including Zig Rigs, Sculps, Roostertails. Water was milkshake colored from Buffalo River Run off. Water was up and running hard. We did not see clear water until we hit the Northfork. However, Rainbow action was good on yellow and black Roostertails. We caught fish all day. Most Rainbows were 12-14 inch. Men and Fish are alike....They all get into trouble when they open their mouths....
Ham Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I avoid dirty water like the plague. I know I can always catch a few out of the heavily stained stuff, but I want to be where the water is clear. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
