Report 7/7/16

[Stein]

This will be a pretty short report.  First ever time on the river.  Friend and I put in at Pyatt and just started fishing little pools and riffles.  No real luck at either of the two confluences - Clear creek or the next one of which the name escapes me.  A couple of 10" fish.  Again, not knowing what we were doing we would just stop and fish every little pool we could find.  Things never really got going.  I don't think we caught a fish over 12".  Fished mostly flukes or tubes, tried a Ned and even some Zig Jigs.

That said it was a pretty float.  We ended up bringing the kayaks down to AR at the last minute along with the bass boat so we got to do some things that we would have never been able to do - this float and a lower White float on Thursday with Ham.  Both were extremely enjoyable.

I'll happily do this float again in better season.  I am sure July is tough, just like the lake.
