Minimum flows on the White 8-24

[netboy]

The lake has finally got back to power pool and we have had minimum flows all morning at the dam the last couple of days. That also means minimum flow around Cotter and Rim Shoals until late afternoon. I went to the dam C&R area this morning and had a good day. It was great to catch up with all the regulars and everyone was catching fish. I had good luck on cracklebacks, tiger tails, midges and eggs. Also caught the biggest rainbow of the morning on a tan hopper.

Here's a couple of the better ones...

She put up quite a fight. Took me well into my backing twice and made some nice jumps.

Hope your O2 holds up.  Ours is real good for late August.  Temp 54.  They are blasting in the pm.  240!  Keeps it cleaned out.

I don't think we have ever had that O2 problem down here on the White that I know of since they started minimum flows. The water gets pretty well oxygenated with many miles of shoals. Norfork solved that problem with the siphon.
