Ya all missed the major point of this post.  Imagine what kind of smallmouth fishery the White River System would be now if the dams had never took place.  The Invasive Trout are nice, but, just imagine what that river would have been like over 100 years ago before the dams.

Thats a beautiful smallmouth, nicely colored.  Unlike the dark ones that I am getting used to in TN.

I dream those dreams.  In them I have uncomfortable boots and a beard.

I don't dream those dreams. I listened to them. My father fished the White before the Bull Shoals dam, as well as after. He would tell me stories as I grew up and learned to fish with him. Some of them may have been true. When I took him on his last fishing trip he was in his 70's and we fished brown trout with Elden? the police officer from Gassville. He caught a brown that day in the 7 pound range. On the drive home he told me he preferred the river before it was dammed. That seems to say much about large small mouth.

Well you guys did a great job scheduling the Jigfest. Since you left SWPA has opened up the spillways at Norfork on top of maximun generation of the 2 units there and increased Bull Shoals to 330MW (7 of 8 possible units) all day today. Guess my only option for some wade fishing is the Spring river tomorrow.
