Back on the White.. 8/29

[netboy]

We got back from our European Danube river cruise (which was fantastic) earlier this week and after catching up on usual maintenance stuff finally got back to some fishing.

The last few days have been great. SWPA reduced the flows because of the almost 5" of rains here in Cotter last Saturday which increased the lower White river area.

That said there was minimum flow on Sunday and gradual increases since then. 

Fished the Dam, Wildcat and then Cotter and all have been good. The rainbows apparently like the higher flows as they are putting on some weight.  Best flies have been a heavy weight olive woolly bugger and the Y2K/midge combo.

Here's a couple pics of some fatties....

Nice fish!!  I’ll be at Taney the next 5 days and I was thinking of going to the White on a side trip.

Nice tanks!  Healthy fish for sure.  Glad you're home safe and sound like a cool vacation.

We use Grand Circle Cruise Line. This was our forth trip with them. All have been great.

Since we are retired and have a flexible schedule we always watch their Last Minute Deals. We usually save around 50% of the full price and sometimes more the closer to the departure date.
