More Dam fish 3/3 and WTH

[netboy]

I got my second Pfizer Covid shot yesterday afternoon and woke up around 3 am this morning with soreness in the arm. Felt like a mule kicked me in the arm. I took a couple Tylenols and was also kind of dehydrated but 3 bottles of water helped that. I had some chills when I got up but went fishing anyway. Went to the dam around noon and caught a dozen or so nice rainbows, 2 tigers, a couple of browns and 1 cutthroat. I had to get out of the water a couple times to warm up. I am sure it was chills from the shot as the temps were in the 60's, sunny and little wind. Saw a few more caddis and caught 1 and missed another on the caddis dries. The rest were on eggs and midges. I think it will be another couple weeks before the caddis really get going. Pain is gone and pretty much back to normal now.

If you get the Pfizer shot be prepared for a little discomfort after the second one. I had no after effects from the first

Here's a pic of a nice rainbow and a tiger.

My company pays for an annual checkup with biometric scan.  If you get it done your full insurance package is paid for except deductible and copay.  If you don't get it you pay a hundred a month for insurance.  Anyway I was due a for a DTAP vaccine and my arm was swollen and sore for 8 days after I got it.  Still itches like crazy.  I want to catch one of those tigers when it gets real big!!

I am liking the looks of those tigers. Are they stocked on the norfork?

No they only stocked in the C&R area below BS dam.

There were 2,500  stocked and they are triploids so will not reproduce but are growing pretty fast.

Forgot to mention that they are moving down the river. I have caught 2 around Wildcat and 1 just below the Cotter access.

Is there any plan to stock more that you have heard of. I’m afraid I’m gonna miss out since I’m all over the board where I am fishing these days. Not a lot of days on the White right now.

I haven't heard of any plan to stock more. Hopefully some stay put in the C&R area so they don't end up in hot grease.

Well, I wish they would. Something else to try to catch, but natural predation, delayed mortality during Catch and Release, and people keeping them to eat are going to take their toll on that 2500.
