Gonna need 1/2 jigs for jigfest this year

[snagged in outlet 3]

At 15000 you could barely use the down stream ramp at Buffalo. Because you had to back way in to float your boat.  Upstream ramp was great.

See how much water they are running and adjust. 

IF they are running more than 15K, I will likely throw more jerk baits than jigs. 

There was 5 foot of water on top of the boat ramp parking lot at Cotter

I’m good with the brown trout jerkbait bite 😄.   These water levels not so much.  Saw where Norfork had flood gates open yesterday on a post somewhere

I just want to be able to fish and live to tell about it.

I was thinking the same thing.  Jerkbaits/crankbaits.

So who is bringing their bass boat for jigfest? lmao

Well, there is variability in how water is being released through the floodgates. Let’s wait and see what happens. That’s weeks away. Somebody else makes the call on a postponement of Jigfest. 

I won’t fish with water above 25 K on the White or 8 K on Norfork .

I don't have a bass boat.  But I do have a boat that I will fish the White in anything short of life threatening.  Everybody that's coming with me has a heads up to bring jerkbait gear.
