September 1 Tuesday

It,s 55.7 f as of 5:00 this morning at Bull Shoals and the water has been shut down since midnight. It is scheduled to begin generation around 2:00 pm. Reports from fisherman coming into the shop yesterday were not generally good and that the fishing was slow. The norfork reports were much better with soft hackles and midges doing the trick. At bull shoals dam the surface bite was not like it was the previous few days but fishing deeper under an indicator with the dash-2 was producing some fish for Wade fishers at the dam. I,ll be on the water this morning and will send in an updated report from the river.

Tungsten beads: 14.00 bucks a hundred for the regular colors and $16.00 a hundred for the new hot colors. Order by phone today in packages of 25. Call the shop @ 870-445-3848 with your VS or MC. Click on the trip gallery and then the fly shop album for colors of beads.

UPDATE 7:03 A.M.
