May Fishing

We are starting to see a sulphur hatch on the White River especially down stream below the Cotter area.  Some action on the surface on lower flows has been productive but my most productive fly for this area of the river has been a prince nymp in size #6 & 8,  I know that sounds kind of strange.  I started out with smaller ones #14’s and #12’s but had some larger tied up for higher flows so I tied one on a fisherman one afternoon a couple of weeks ago and lo and behold it not only worked but we started catching better fish on the durn thing so go figure.  Rim shoals has been good lately with large numbers of fish in the boat…60 or better so it ain’t all bad for this guide.
