Gonna need 1/2 jigs for jigfest this year

Not sure if anyone wants to try, but the Spring river looks great right now.

Even if the White is super high, you can get out of the current and catch tons of fish.

Just talked to Miles to confirm we are coming, he says he was out a couple of days ago and did well on Power Bait.  Fish were deep, near the bottom.  He thinks jerk baits are a good option.

Sounds like prime conditions for dragging crankbaits. I need to remember to throw them in the boat before I leave.

I am going thru my crankbaits/jerkbaits today.  I am probably going to have a rod with each.

I was on the river last Saturday. No issues. A little more water and the river is a 1 1/2 foot higher. So, be cautious and stay alert, but not a deal breaker.

So @Seth and I will be down Thursday afternoon and I was thinking of just launching there at Buffalo access.  With this much flow will the launch be usable?  Sorry may be a newb question, just trying to gameplan for tomorrow.

The upstream ramp is steeper and I used at 16K CFS no problem.  But at that level the down stream ramp was not steep and you had to back waaay in to float your boat.  You should be good to go at one or the other though.

I love the upstream ramp, the rileys also have a ramp thats a good angle, but its gravel(need 4wd)

Be advised, at the current generation levels, the White Hole boat ramp and areas of the parking lot are flooded out. I won’t launch there nor recommend that anyone else do so either.
