2012 FISHING REPORT Hey Everybody- Sorry I have kept up with this report much in December. I caught Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever and have been sick for a month. Anyway, I am better now. I am leaving to go on the road for my winter sport-boat and travel show run. 8 cities in 8 weeks. I will try to update the report when I can but I will probably be March before I can. Early December had colder then normal temperatures so there wasnt a whole lot of fishing going on or being reported. However the 10 days or so it has been nice so there is a lot of fishing going on. Reports have the largemouth being caught in shallow water on flat billed crankbaits back in the creeks. The smallmouth and spotted bass are being caught anywhere from 25 feet to 45 feet on soft plastics, grubs, jigs and spoons. The crappie are biting on the brush piles in 15 to 25 feet of water on 1/32 jigs or small minnows. There is a few walleye being caught in 45 to 55 feet of water on spoons or night crawlers. White River trout fishing is great with lots of stringers and bigger browns being caught as usual. The lake is normal level at this time and the water temp is in the high 40's to mid 50's depending on where you take it. Thanks for your patience and looking forward to a great 2012 fishing year.!! Ricky Eastwold
Fishing report - 2011 - Scroll down for updates March 12th - Saturday - 2011 Hello everybody! I have been on the road working most of the boat-sport and travel shows in the Midwest for the last two months. I had the pleasure of talking to a lot of you at these shows. Thanks for taking the time to stop and talk to me. Now to the fishing. The lake level is still around 7 feet low at this time. We never did get the winter rains that we usually get. The water temperature is in the mid to high 40's around the lake. The air temps have varied from 25 to 70 degrees depending on the day or night. So, the water temp warm up is still slow. We need a warm rain and that will change it all. Visibility is great right now. We have had lots of people fishing the last few days due to warm weather. I haven't heard many reports though. The following is what I have been told by a few of the fisherman catching fish and our guides. March 18th - Friday - 2011 The white bass have started. Check out the picture page. Guide Jackie Due and his brother went out and caught 16 in shallow water. I have had other people catching them too. Anything that represents a shad in color will catch them. White Jigs, sea horses, Hot-n-tot, small spoons ect. I would go to the back of the creeks and look around there. Any creek will work. Black bass are also being caught on crankbaits, plastics, spoons, live minnows in 5 to 25 feet of water back in the creeks where the water is warmer. I went walleye fishing last night for the first time in 2011. We went at dark and fished for a couple of hours. We didn't catch any yet but we did spot light the bank and found several in shallow water. I have been told of one or two being caught by night fisherman. I would think next week or so they should be starting. Until next time!! March 21st - Monday - 2011 We had a good stringer of mixed fish come in today. Check the picture page out. The water temp continues to improve and is around 50 degrees now. All species are reported coming in here and there. It shouldn't be too long and it will be all out everything !!, provided we don't get a major cold front and rain to reset everything. Guide Kevin Eastwold had a great day on the White River. Caught and released several browns. See picture page. Until next time!! March 23rd - Wednesday - 2011 Reports of mixed species are coming in. The water temp is improving and the fish on the lake continue to get more active. The White River continues to be great. Check out the picture page for 4 more pics taken today!! Until next time! March 24th - Thursday- 2011 I would say the fishing and catching has started. I added several pictures to the picture page today. 8lb + walleye, 4 1/2lb walleye, white bass stringer, 7 lb + largemouth, bass stringer ect. Lots of reports of fish being caught. see picture page!!! March 27th - Sunday - 2011 There hasn't been much fishing going on the last three days. It has been colder then normal so not many people fishing. We did have a 3lb walleye come it today. Its on the picture page. It is suppose to get warmer this week so fishing and catching should improve. March 28th - Wednesday - 2011 The people who are fishing are also catching. There isn't many people going out due to the cold weather but there is fish coming in. Look at the picture page for Tuesday - big crappie stringer - big bass stringer - white bass stringer. Till next time. April 4th - Monday - 2011 The weather is being uncooperative this last 5-6 days. Not many people are fishing on the lake. It has been cold, windy and not fun. It is suppose to be below freezing tonight. There was a 5lb largemouth brought in this weekend. There is a picture on the picture page. The people that are fishing are catching white bass, crappie and bass. I haven't seen many walleye yet. One here and there. WE NEED WARM WEATHER OR A WARM RAIN. The water temp is still around the 50 degree level. Until next time. April 9th - Saturday- 2011 It was almost 90 degrees here today. The water is warming up fast. The surface is in the mid 50's in the sun. The perch/bluegill are moving under the docks and getting closer to the banks. There was lots of white bass activity yesterday. There are reports of walleye spawning and a few being caught. I am going a couple nights this week. Should know more then. The crappie and bass continue to be caught. There should be more as the water warms up. The WHITE RIVER TROUT FISHING has been spectacular. Check out our picture page. There has been a #17 , #12 and a #13 caught and released this week. Till next time! April 10th - Sunday - 2011 We had a lot of fish brought in today. There are new pictures on the picture page. We had a 10lb walleye brought in today, a few largemouth bass between the 3-5 lb range and a bunch of white bass. The water temp continues to increase with some reports of 60 degree water in the back of the creeks. I have also had reports of spawning nests around the lake. I haven't seen any yet but its time. I have updated the patterns below. Till next time!! April 11th - Monday - 2011 The white bass continue to poor in here at the marina. The other bass are being caught too along with some crappie and walleye. We finally got that warm rain I have been talking about last night. The water temperature is warming up and the fish are getting more active. till next time April 13th - Wednesday - 2011 The water temp is zooming and is up around the 60 degree mark on the surface back in the creeks. My buddies up the lake are reporting mid 60 degree temps in some places. The white bass continue to flow in here at the marina. Lots and lots of them. The visibility is very very good. You can stand on the dock and see almost 40 feet down. The bass are hitting good also. I am also hearing reports of walleye being caught around dark but I can't catch them yet. I went out yesterday for a few hours and caught several bass on a plastic bait called a brush hog. It is a mini version of a lizard with a little difference. We carolina rigged it. I was casting close to the shoreline and working it slowly back to the boat. I was catching them about half way back. This bait needs to be worked slow. We tried some top water but no success although I have had several reports of top water baits working (see below). We saw hundreds of white bass running around but couldn't get them to bite. It was a bright sunny slick no wind day. Although that's the best day to be out for the weather, its not always the best fishing day. We also so dozens of largemouth running around but we did catch several of them. After my day of bass fishing, I went walleye fishing from 6 to 11. I am really sucking this year at walleye fishing. I have been 3 times and haven't caught any yet. Anyway, I spot lighted several banks and counted dozens all in very shallow water against the bank. I have seen several brought in but not by me. (cry-cry) not yet :) . Till next time ! April 14th - Thursday - 2011 Nice walleye stringer brought in late last night- check picture page . The Largemouth bass are making beds everywhere. Lots of fish being caught. Not much else today. Till next time! April 17th - Sunday - 2011 Hey Everybody. I spent over three hours doing pictures today off the lake and river. There is 15 new ones on the picture page. We had a big group on the river today so there is lots of brown trout pics. We also had several fish brought off the lake today and last night. The walleye have started at night for sure. We also had a 4 1/4 Smallmouth caught today. Check out the picture page. The lake has come up a few inches with the 4 inches of rain we had the other night. We did need it. We had a 80 boat tournament Saturday and it took a little over 20lbs to win with 5 fish. That is a 4 lb average. The male bass are making beds, haven't seen any females yet but it shouldn't be long. Just about any kind of pattern is working according to all the information I've been getting. Anyway- till next time. April 23th - Saturday - 2011 Hello- we are getting a lot of rain over the last few days and its suppose to continue for a couple of more. The lake is rising but I wont have projections until Monday. We are suppose to get up to cumulative 10 inches or so. I imagine the lake will be rising a lot but we will see. The fishing continues to be great for the fisherman that are going. Lots of bass, white bass and walleye being reported. As soon as I get a lake level projection I will let you know. Till next time. April 26th - Tuesday - 2011 Ok- The rain has stopped for
now. The lake has risen 20 feet since Friday. Current projections are another 15 to 20
feet by May 1st. That will put it at 685 April 30th- Saturday - 2011 The lake has jumped 30 feet in a week and is still projected to go another 8-10 feet. I personally think it will top out again this year. We will see. The bright side to this is the spawn. It will be fantastic again. The awesome fishing we have been seeing is due to the high water of 2007 and 2008. So at least we will be something positive out of this. I would also like to say that our lake is not closed and the tournaments have not been cancelled. I have been told that all tournaments on Table Rock have been postponed and that parts of that lake are closed for a few days due to the massive influx of water and debris. A few counties west of here got over 20 inches of rain in 3 days. YIKES. Of course all that water is coming here sooner or later. We are starting our 39th year tomorrow and this is the fastest I have ever seen the lake rise. Now to the fishing. We had a 250 boat tournament today (Tyson Employee Tournament) and there was plenty of fish being brought in. Yes, the water rising will change the fishing patterns but the fish will still eat and that is the way we catch them isn't it? The water temperature is in hovering around 60 - 65 degrees on the lake. The visibility is very good in some places, mostly on the main lake. The back of the creeks are like chocolate milk. This is all I have for now. I will update in a couple of days. Until next time. May 4th - Wednesday - 2011 The lake is at 690 and still rising very very slow. Projections take it to 694 my may 11th depending on the rain fall. That is only 1 foot from the top. WE ARE OPEN AND THE LAKE IS OPEN. We have been getting tons and tons of calls and emails about the conditions ect. There is just more water to play on and the fish still have to eat. The water is extremely clear right now. Water temps are around the 60 degree mark. There is fish still being brought in. We had a 8 1/2 lb walleye brought in today. Look at the fishing patterns above and I have added a couple more below. Until next time. Good Luck! TYSON EMPLOYEE TOURNAMENT RESULTS - As you can see there was plenty of fish caught!! May 9th - Monday - 2011 The lake is around 692 right now and still coming up inches a day. The daily projections keep changing but the current one shows the lake cresting at 694 on May 14th. That is only 2 more feet. We are open for business and have a launching ramp here at the marina. There is 2 more launching ramps in town open. The fish still have to eat so there is plenty of fishing going on. More on that later.We have wakeboarders out doing their thing and plenty of scuba divers also. The lake is not closed and people are still vacationing and enjoying the lake. There is some debris out and about but not enough to worry about right now. The water temperature is rising and is in the mid 60's around the lake. I have seen people swimming over the weekend. Don't let the high water deter you. Life is too short. Fishing and catching continue to improve. I am getting mixed reports from the fishing is tough and hard to the fishing is great. It depends on who you talk to. The patterns listed above continue to be good and I don't expect any change in those for a few weeks. Here is a current water temp chart. As you can see the water temp is improving.
The biggest fishing change is catfish are being caught on limb lines. This is very productive right now. Until next time!! May 15th - Sunday - 2011 Add yourself to the email list here! - for updated pics and information boatdock@bullshoals.net - send me an email with "fishing report" in the subject line Hey Everybody! The lake actually dropped today a couple of inches. I don't know if that is going to continue but its dropping right now. I am told they are running 6 generators now at the dam. The White River is flowing good and so are the catching of trout. I posted 15 pictures on the picture page of guided trips with catch and release brown trout pictures from the last few days. The lake water temperature is still hovering around the the chart above. The visibility is good. We have several fish come in this weekend and a good stringer of walleye today. The picture is posted on the picture page. Fishing patterns haven't changed much and they probably wont until the water warms up or the lake drops a bunch. So the patterns listed below are about the same as last time. Until next time. May 24th - Tuesday - 2011 Hello everybody. First the fishing. The people that are fishing are still catching fish. There are a couple of new pictures on the picture page. THE FISHING PATTERNS AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF JUNE OR SO. So, I wont be updating the fishing report. Its hard to write the patterns in a different way so I will not being changing them. They will start to change when the water temp goes up. This will not be until the middle of June or so. We have had lots more rain over the last few days. Yes the lake is on the rise and is going to beat the record tomorrow. Its almost to 695 right now. The record that I know of is 695.17 on April 15th 2008. Projection right now is 696.2 by Friday which will be a new record. All of this is provided there is no more rain. We are suppose to get more tonight but not very much. Then not hardly any for a week. The water temp is in the 60's and the visibility is good according to Capt Nemo's Dive shop that was here over the weekend. They said the vis was very good on the steeper banks and roads coming into the lake. There are still 3 launching ramps open in the city of Bull Shoals. We have one here at the marina open. We are open for business. The weather is looking very good for the weekend. The White River is very high now. They opened all the floodgates at the dam. I will post some pictures when I get them. The river is flowing at the same rate as 10 generators. I am told its the highest its ever been right now. I am also told its still okay to fish you just have to change where and how you fish. You have to use very heavy weights and try to fish a gravel bar. DO NOT ANCHOR under any circumstances. I will update the lake conditions everyday for awhile. Until next time! May 25th - Wednesday The lake broke the record today for level. Its at 695.74 as I am writing this. This mornings projections were for 695.8 by Friday. We will see what the projections are tomorrow. I am told they have increased the water flow on the dam with the flood gates but I haven't confirmed that yet. I know there is a bunch of water flowing in the river. I have posted a picture on the fish picture page of the dam today. Flood gate picture. The lake is fine and ok for boating. The fishing is still good. I have had several walleye brought in the past few days on crankbaits, night crawlers and spoons. The bass and white bass are hitting top water real good. Catfish on limb lines is great! Until next time! ____________________________________________________________ I AM BUILDING AN ARK!!!!! ______________________________________ May 26th - Thursday - The lake has continued to rise over night a few more inches. It is at 696.17 as of right now. According to projections, it is suppose to crest at 696.40 on Saturday the 28th. That's about 1 1/2 feet over the old record. There are still 3 launching ramps open, we are open and the town is open. The people that are fishing are still catching fish. There are a few new pics on the picture page. The fishing patterns haven't changed at all and wont for a few more weeks. Until next time. May 27th - Friday - The lake is suppose to crest at anytime unless we get more rain which we are not suppose to for a while. It is at 696.51 right now. Hopefully this is it. Since is it cresting and starting down I have stopped construction on my "ARK" for now. Click here to see why. Aren't those pretty? The fishing continues to be good for those that are going. Had a six pound largemouth bass brought in tonight. There is a picture on the picture page. The fishing patterns continue to be the same and will be for a few more weeks. I will update you again as soon as the lake goes down. Until next time. June 2nd - Thursday The lake is down to 693 as of right now. It is projected to drop 2 - 5 inches a day for awhile. It has dropped 3 1/2 feet since the record crest the other day. The surface temperature is rising up to the lower 70's. We have had some 90 degree days lately. NO RAIN EITHER! The visibility is still good but will start to get worse as the lake drops and the temperature warms up. The fishing is still great for those that are going. Night fishing under lights is the new thing this week. Darryl W and his gang went the other night and caught 16 walleye and several white bass. See pic page. I went Tuesday and caught 3 walleye and 2 white bass with several misses. Didn't do as good as Darryl W party but still had fun. The other types of day fishing continue to be productive. I will change the patterns as soon as they change. Until next time! June 5th - Sunday The lake is down to 692 and still dropping a few inches a day. Everybody wants to know how fast and when the lake will get back to normal. I don't think anybody knows that. From my experience it will depend on how much rain we get. It will also depend on how fast they drop table rock lake. That area is "special" and gets "special" treatment. :( They usually get their lake dropped first. So, I would assume as soon as it gets closer to normal then we will be dropping faster. The lake temp is in the lower 70's with a thermocline forming shallow around the 5 foot level or so I am told. I will be in the water the next few days and will be able to tell you more. I am told that the White River is back to normal level of 8 generators. They have two broke but they are running 6 generators with the flood gates open to the equivalent of two generators. So- there is no problems fishing, launching, staying at the White River as of now!!! HOO RAY! The fishing on the lake hasn't changed much yet. It should soon. I have been getting lots and lots of questions about the "night fishing" thing. So here goes. Pick a spot on the lake. It might take several times to find the right spot but I don't think it matters too much. You want to anchor in 30 to 70 feet of water. Put out a couple of lights that float on the water. This will bring a variety of bait fish starting with very small plankton, then small minnows/shad, then larger shad. The key is to get the larger shad ( 3-4 inches) around your lights. These will start doing a circle pattern around your boat under the lights. These will attract the catchable fish such as White Bass, Walleye, catfish, ect. I will take a bucket of regular minnows that we sell here at the marina and use them until I can catch the circling shad under the lights. I have made my own net to do this with. Most people use a throw able cast net to catch the shad and then use the shad they catch. Minnows seem to work for me but the circling shad you catch are natural in the lake and the fish love em. I put my bait in 25 to 50 feet of water. I will vary it until I find where the fish seem to be biting. If you never get circling shad around the boat then MOVE until you find them. I have seen this used on bluff walls, flats, channel swings, ect. Good Luck if you can stay awake. Until next time!! June 15th - Wednesday The lake is still hovering around the 691 mark. Not much change in anything here except the air temp is going up and the water temp is going up. The fishing patterns are the same. They should start to change some soon. Spearfishing opened today. There was a lot of catfish brought in. The divers are reporting an abundance of fish around and in the brush. Looks like the lake is full of fish according to them. Visibility is still good. The White River is back to normal flow. They have been zig zaging the level but the fishing is awesome as usual. See picture page. Not much changes. Till next time. June 22nd - Wednesday The lake has actually risen a few inches in the last few days. The visibility is great still. The water temp is hovering around 80 degrees on the surface. The fishing continues to be good with the patterns listed below. Not many changes yet be should be very soon. The divers continue to rave about all the fish in the lake especially the bass and walleye. Until next time!!
July 4th - The lake has finally started to drop. Its down to 688. It crested at 696.5. The visibility is started to get worse with the lake dropping and the water temperature zooming up. The divers are reporting 5-10 foot visibility but they are still seeing lots of fish. The fishing hasn't changed much yet. Until next time.
July 10th - Sunday The lake has is still between 687 and 688. If somebody finds the plug let me know. I will scuba dive to it and pull it or blow it up. LOL. There isn't any projection on when the lake will get back to normal. The last thing I heard on the radio from the Mt Home corps was " sometime at the end of the year". Well, that could be anytime. So, we just have to deal with all the water. There is a HUGE bright side to all of this. There are a zillion ba gillion ka zillion little tiny spawn fish out there. This lake should be full of fish for years to come. The visibility is not very good and never is when the lake is up with all the brush in it or when it starts to drop. So the diving isn't the best for vis but is very good for spearfishing. The divers are reporting tons and tons of fish in the brush. The fishing patterns are starting to change a little with the water temperature zooming up to the mid 80's on the surface.
July 20th - Wednesday The lake is still falling slow. WE HAVE GOT A PROJECTION FROM THE CORP THAT NOVEMBER 1ST IS THE TARGET DATE THAT THE LAKE WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL. This date could change depending on how much rain we get or how much water they will let out. This is an average of 3-4 inches a day. So at least we have an idea of what to expect. The temp is in the mid to high 80's on the surface. The thermocline is around the 28-30 foot level. The temp drops down into the 60's and get colder the deeper you go. The visibility is not the best and never is when they drop the lake. Also, the brush from surface to 25 feet does not help. Once you get past the thermocline, the vis is better but its kinda dark. The fishing remains good according to all the reports I have been getting. The patterns listed below are still working. Until next time! August 4th - Thursday The lake is around the 681 mark and still falling slow. There are 2 thermocline, one around the 18 foot level and another around the 28 foot level. The visibility is only 10 feet or so down to 30 feet then the water clears up some. The surface temp on the lake is in the high 80's to low 90's. Yes, its HOT. We had a air temp of 112 yesterday. Yes- 112 !!!!!!! . Not much changed on the fishing. The patterns listed below are still working. Until next time! August 18th - Thursday The lake is around the 674 mark and still falling. We should be getting one road and launching ramp back by the end of next week hopefully. The water temps vary from the high 70's to high 80's depending on where you take it. The thermocline is around the 27-30 foot area and that's where most of the fish are being caught when the sun is up. At sun up and sun down the fish are being caught in shallower water even on top sometimes. Visibility is poor to fair depending on where you go and which diver you ask. The fishing patterns below are still working. Until next time. September 15th - Thursday I am sorry for not keeping up with this more but I have been diving a lot fixing cables and anchors this last month. There are 135 cables here at the marina that need to be inspected and checked. It takes time.The high water changed a lot the the anchors. Anyway, the fishing hasn't changed a whole lot yet except for the thermocline and level. The lake is around the 660 level and still dropping. That's only 4 feet high over normal level and should be back to normal soon. The thermocline has dropped to the 40 foot. This seems to be where most of the fish are hanging give or take 5 to 10 feet. There are some fish still being caught shallow and on the surface at sun up and sun down. The water temp is in the high 70's to low 80's in most places. Lots of fish are being caught on night crawlers during the day and jig and trailer at night. Those seem to be the dominant patterns. The other patterns listed below are also worth trying. Until next time!! October 13th - Thursday I apologize for not updating this much this fall. My mother has been really sick for most of it. She had a stroke a couple of weeks ago and passed away last week. So, we have been dealing with that. It was a blessing that she passed. Thank you to all of you that sent cards, flowers, letters and thoughts. I am sure some of you didn't know. Now to the fishing. The water temperature is around 70 degrees and falling slowly. The fishing hasn't been consistent. I have been getting reports of fish being caught on everything type of bait, every type of pattern and all kinds of different depths. I believe you just have to find the feeding fish whether it be on the surface with top water baits or in 60 foot with spoons. Guide Jackie Due was out yesterday and caught lots of short fish on artificial baits. Guide Jimmy McDaniel guided Tuesday and caught some keeper fish on night crawlers in 40- 50 feet of water. If I was going fishing, I would use night crawlers or spoons anywhere from 25 to 55 feet of water especially on a sunny day. If its a cloudy day then the fish might be shallower and the shallow patterns might work better. It all depends on where the food is at. So, experimentation is the best fishing advice I have for now. Until next time!
October 23th - Sunday Hey everybody. Not much changing on the fishing. I have been getting all kinds of reports on the fishing. The doesn't seem to be any one pattern that is working every day. You could be throwing top water one minute and then jigging a spoon in 60 feet, plus using everything in-between. The water temperature is around 70 degrees on the surface and is in the low to mid 60's down to 60 feet. So the fish aren't hanging in the thermocline like normal because there isn't much of one above 65-70 feet. All the patterns listed below are working. Also, just about any normal pattern is working at one time or another. Some days the fish seem to be around the 15 to 25 foot level and the next day they are 45 to 60. There are lots and lots of shad around at all levels. Try to find the fish that are chasing the shad around. These seem to be the catchable fish. I will be gone for a few weeks for my normal hunting trip. So, the next report wont be until Thanksgiving. Until next time! 1. Top water at sun up and sun down. There is an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening when this pattern will work. Spooks, flukes, pop r's, frogs, anything that runs on the surface. 2. As the day progresses the fish are going deeper to get out of the sun and warmer water. split shot a night crawler and work above the brush, retrieve a spoon above the brush, drag a jig-trailer through the brush. 4. Trolling bottom bouncers with night crawlers in 32 to 45feet of water has been very productive for mostly walleye. Some people are catching a little of everything doing this. The patterns below are also still working BASS - 1. Soft plastic baits in 20 to 45 feet of water. Try a variety or different baits and mix it up. Tube jigs, gitzits, 4 inch finesse worms, 5-7 inch plastic worms, french fry worms, lizards, brush hogs ect. Green pumpkin, cotton candy, brownish seem to be the best colors. 2. jigging a spooning 45 to 60 feet of water. 3. Minnow fishing with a split shot or jig and minnow is producing all species of fish, bass, walleye, crappie, white bass ect. 4. Drop shot a night crawler from 20 to 45 feet depending on the bank and structure. 5. Top water minnow looking baits are producing some fish - Flukes, spooks, pop r's, chug bugs, ect. Walleye - 1.Drop shot a night crawler or bottom bouncers from 25 to 45 feet depending on the bank and structure. 2. Split shot a night crawler and drift fish with in in 25 to 45 feet of water 3. Retrieve a spoon form the bank very slow 4. vertical jig a spoon 5. Bottom bouncing in 30 to 45 feet of water. White Bass - 1. cast some type of minnow bait on the gravel flats on the old shore line 2. night fishing under lights Crappie - 1. small jigs and minnows around the brush piles. Catfish - Lots of catfish being caught on limb lines from 5 to 25 feet of water.
Don't forget to check out our picture page for the latest catches!! White River: NOTHING EVER CHANGES ON THE RIVER EXCEPT THE WATER LEVEL!!! THE FISHING IS ALWAYS GREAT!! This question gets asked a lot. "When is the best time to fish the river? " The answer is anytime. The water comes out of the bottom of the lake therefore it is always very cold. It doesn't have the temperature cycle of a normal body of water. It doesn't matter if its 100 degrees out or 10 degrees out. The water temperature stays the same within a few degrees, Therefore, the fishing is always the same and always good. Arkansas stocks the White River with rainbow trout year around so the fishing is good year around. The water level doesn't matter either, you just have to change how you fish. If the water is high then you usually drift and float fish, if its low then you anchor and still fish. Naturally, fly fishing is better when the river is low. SO, COME FISHING WHENEVER YOU CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The river fishing has been great!! Check out the 2011 picture page for photos of some big ones caught over the last couple of weeks. Nothing new on the patterns. --- Worms, night crawlers, power baits, salmon eggs, Count down Rapalas, spoons, rooster tails, jigs and just about any other type of trout bait or pattern you have heard of. Come visit our expanded bait and Tackle department and good luck and good fishing to you all.
