FISHING REPORT 4/01/2007

[John Berry]

Lori and I fished Roundhouse Shoals this afternoon. Elk hair caddis! Lori caught so many fish that I think she blew her elbow out. Too many fish! My lovely wife needs to better pace herself. I do not know how many we caught but it was a lot. The biggest was fifteen, most were twelve. We finished the day fishing caddis pupa (me), and green butts (Lori).

I've never fished roundhouse, but I've driven by it plenty of times while working though:( . Does it get pretty crowded, or can you get away from the crowd and lawn chair brigade somewhat? I need to try some new water!

[John Berry]

It is a really big area with a lot of wadable water. If you are willing to wade across the channel it gets a lot less crowded. The water up stream though slower is quite productive. There are some very nice runs in it. The water behind the island is a bit more secluded but can be a bit tougher to get out of if the water comes up. Get the most up to date river conditions before you venture there. I fish Roundhouse often and it is one of my favorite spots on the White. Lots of access, lots of water, and lots of fish!

It is bedrock and is very very slippery. So be careful.

[John Berry]

Very good point Don. There is quite a bit of bedrock in the area. I always wear studded boots around Roundhouse. Watch what you are doing.
