Henry's Fishing Report 11/21/09

Today was an interesting day on the river.  The river rose and fell every two or three hours keeping the trout confused and off balance.  Zebra midges would work, then it would be Woolly Buggers, then soft hackles, back to Zebras, then red worms with gold ribbing.  As a wader, you really had to keep your eyes on your water marker so not to get in trouble.
 
But all in all, it was a good day to fly fish in the traditional way (wading).  Even with two or three units running you could find several places from Rim Shoals to the dam to wade.  Its just that the bigger fish seem to prefer Rim Shoals.

Saturday, November 14th, was a day to remember. I waded into the White River at 8:40 am and departed at 3:30 pm having caught many fish on a large array of flies.  Soft hackles were a great early morning fly, then came the midges which gave us one hit after the other.  The down side here was the fly size, #26, probably lost 3 times more than we landed.  Woolly Buggers in # 14 gave a good account of itself and the Rim Shoals Zebra #16 in black and copper gave non-stop action starting about 2:30.
 
This was a good day to be a wader.  Spoke to several guides who said they were having a good day on small fish up river but the large fish were all in the Rim Shoals area.  Imagine that - why do people think Rim Shoals is known as the trophy area?
