Fishing the last couple of days 8-19....

[netboy]

Fishing has been pretty good on the White river this week. Fished the Dam C&R area and Wildcat access and had good luck with cracklebacks and soft hackles.

Some days the early mornings are better and the next day it is dead until around 9ish. Still missing more than I am hooking, but fun watching them come up and take the fly. It is hard not to strike when you see them come up, but you usually just pull it straight out of their mouth unless you wait for them to turn on it. I always try to remember what my old British Navy buddy told me... when you see the fish come up and take, stop and say "God save the queen" before setting the hook. It is really hard to do that.

Here's a few pics...

First one is a 21" rainbow this morning that fought like a 25". Second one is 22" rainbow yesterday that fought like a 17" and third is a nice cuttie my friend from Texas got yesterday.
