Ackerman access 6/17

They have increased the flows on the White river this week but they have been keeping Norfork at minimum flow until around 1pm. I fished over there this week and the fishing has been good. A size 20 Griffith's gnat or Parachute Adams has worked early in the slow water areas where the trout are after midges. Then around 9am there were a few caddis and sulphurs coming up so the elk hair caddis and orange crackleback worked well. After that a Y2K/ruby midge combo worked. I caught a couple dozen this morning including this nice rainbow on a size 20 Griffith's. Hopefully the low water will continue over there.

A quick update 6/18... I went back again this morning and there very few fish rising early. Caught a few on a crackleback early and then around 9 they started rising. There was a mix of a few caddis and more sulphurs than yesterday. Ended up being a good morning using a foam body sulphur dry fly. I was able to sight cast this nice 20" rainbow and she put on quite a show.
