Anyone fishing up the river?

Ok, I'll bite.  Haven't seen (or heard) any reports from folks fishing the run up the river.  Not surprising that the walleye folks don't talk much, but normally word gets around when folks start catching the white bass up high.

I was going to go try to walleye fish yesterday but got an invite to trout fish some private water so did that instead.  I won't be able to get out more than once or twice this year, and with a 4 month old at home I doubt I'll be able to do any trips other than just taking the day off.  I'll probably go in a week or two, but I figure someone is catching something up there by now.

I ran up War Eagle Saturday and talked to several tin boats that ran further than I did and no one found anything but short crappie. I had live threadfin out and did not get anything.  Seems they are going up the White. I didn't even find the shad I usually find up War Eagle this time of year, could be warmer water or dirty water but they just aren't schooling as usual, whites or shad. Everyone I have talked to are just scratching their heads.

I will be watching this thread..........

I did some fly flinging right where the river (War Eagle) meets the lake below the mill on Sunday and nada.  Tried everything from clousers to woollies to a big old sasquatch.  Hit four nice holes really hard and not a nibble.

I fished the White at Goshen above the bridges on Monday before the rain.  The river has changed a lot post flood but zero'ed.  I threw mostly Clousers in standard colors Water temps remain in the low 50's so it may be a littl early.  Very little boat traffic, a little disappointing.

Thanks Lshack.  I almost went on monday but did another trip instead. At least I'm not missing out!   It has to be ready to jump off just any day now you would think. It's still early by most years standards but it just has to be close.
