Members KS - Rhino Posted February 4, 2008 Members Posted February 4, 2008 Fishing must be real good after the 2/1 opening of the trophy area, since nobody has posted since. Probably haven't made if off the river?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 4, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 4, 2008 Just made a quick run over to John Wilson's site and it looked like not a whole lot of news from below BSD... http://p088.ezboard.com/bflyfishingarkansasandmissouri
Members KS - Rhino Posted February 4, 2008 Author Members Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks Phil, I've been keeping my on that board as well. For some reason, my work internet wouldn't let me get there. I tried you're link and was able to get there, must have had a bum link. Thought the internet police were freezing me out.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 5, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 5, 2008 Just tried too- his site or the server he's on is down. Just talked to a friend who talked to the owner at Newland's- he indicated there's shad when the water is running and fishing is awesome- big fish! I'm just surprised there wasn't anything on John's forum to the fact, if the story is true. I have an invite to fish down there Friday- I may take them up on it.
Members JimmyT Posted February 5, 2008 Members Posted February 5, 2008 Hey Phill, No word of any Shad coming through. I've been checking from time to time by driving up by the dam and have yet to see any. Did net this fish for a gentleman from Cape. I took his fly out of the fishes mouth and another fly which happend to belong to one of my fisherman who had the fish on for a good 10 minutes before it broke off.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 5, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 5, 2008 According to Newlands, shad have been coming thru, enough to where some guys brought him a bunch of shad for the freezer. I'm getting this 3rd hand mind you. As big as shad run is, I hate to start a erroneous fish tale.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 5, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 5, 2008 Also was told they're running "minimum flow water"... the pics I've seen on John's site don't indicate that- right?
shawncat Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I just got back from the White.If your planning on fishing the dam area by boat,bring one or rent one down river .The state park boat rental is down for renovation till next month.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 5, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 5, 2008 Shad report was not accuate. No shad coming thru the dam.
