On Monday we finished up a two day trip at Bull Shoals Dam.  The previous day we fished the Rim Shoals area and decided to fish upstream in search of bigger fish.  Ron Y http://www.whiteriverflyguide.com Steve Nelson 870-421-0391 and myself headed up to the dam and dropped our boats in the foggy river.  The water began with a weak 1 unit and ramped up as the day went by.  The catching was pretty good for all and one of rons fishermen Morgan D.  had the best day with a 22 inch brown trout I’d guess at 4 1/2 lbs as well as a 21 inch rainbow.  When your on a roll it just won’t stop.  Good job Morgan.

The day ended with some cloud cover and the fog rolled in which dropped the temps a bunch and I almost put my jacket on.  All the crew did well with good numbers of fish and tons of fun.  Looking forward to seeing this crew again soon.  Give one of us a shout if your looking to put together a fishing trip for a bunch of good buddies or you want to bring some customers fishing for a couple of days.

Generation and Lake Level:

The lake level is at 655.81 and dropping and generation for thursday tomorrow is for a weak one unit until noon and then levels will ramp up to 7 units by 3:00.  The annual Boy Scout canoe race starts in the morning and the corps always runs some water for them so look for generation for the next two days for this event.  Then I’ll be we see some no generation water after that.

good fishing.

From Rim Shoals to Tool Creek Myself, Steve Nelson and Ron Y. started fishing at the lower end of the river.  It was a slow start to the day with the strikes few and far between but with a few minor changes and some different sections of the river things pick up for sure.  In the afternoon we took a ride up to Tool creek and got into some numbers of fish right away and continued hammering them till the day was done.

Rainbow

Today we are fishing the upper end of the river closer to the dam with our crew of 7 fisherman.  Some of them are a bit new at it however they are catching on and looking like pros already.

Water levels were at 2 and 3 units for the day with some heavier generation cranking up at 3:00 pm.  Being 24 miles downstream from the dam we never saw the big water but are hoping to find it today.  A big rise provides a good chance to hook a good fish.

Lake Level:

The lake has dropped pretty fast considering the low flows during the day and is down to 655.98 above MSL and should drop another 1/4 to a 1/3 of a foot today.  Some rain is predicted to fall today but it should not be much.
