FISHING REPORT 4/16/2007

[John Berry]

Picked up my clients early and headed to the Norfork. When we got there I called the dam. While I stood there on the pier at the Handicap access watching the water rise (and a fisherman go swimming)they told me that no generators were running. We helped the fisherman out of the water and drove to Wildcat. We fished there and caught several. Around eleven AM the caddis started coming off and we switched to elk hairs and began picking the trout up on dry flies. At noon the water came up and we headed to Rim. We quickly got into the hatch there and did well. The hot fly was the green elk hair caddis size fourteen and the green butt. The big fish was a seventeen inch male brown at Rim.
