Jenkins Creek On Low And High Water

[John Berry]

I took a nice couple fishing at Jenkins Creek today. We motored up from the Rim Shoals ramp on very low water. We waded the riffle and absolute slaughtered the trout. The hot flies were crapadans and Dan's turkey tail emergers. We caught some very nice trout in the fourteen to sixteen inch slot. The water came up a little after two. We hopped in my boat and drifted through the shoal. We switched to magenta San Juan worms and caught fish. Not as many as on low water but bigger trout. Our best was a fat eighteen inch rainbow. The wind picked up toward the end. All in all a great day.
