White river 3/19

[netboy]

 

We had our daughter and granddaughter visiting for Spring break the last couple of days. This morning the water on the White was finally down to minimum flow so I took my daughter wade fishing at the Cotter access.

I knew the water would come up about 9:00 so we had a short window to fish. She hasn't fly fished before but got the hang of it pretty quick She caught 4 or 5 and missed a bunch due to being a bit slow on the hook set. 

I hooked this nice brown and handed the rod off to her about halfway thru the fight. He made 5 jumps clearing the water and we had to chase him downstream about 50 yards.

Looks like you'll be buying more fly fishing gear for the ladies now!

Yes but that's money well spent. 

Nothing better than getting them involved in the great resource we have here.

You are correct sir! The Mrs. has a ton of stuff and uses it very well. Just can't get her to go as much when the temps are below 40 degrees.
