Henry's Fishing Report 7/19/08

Anglers drifting in river boats are still relying on San Juan worms to bring the trout in.  Spin fishermen outside the catch & release area are relying on scented 3" molded pink power worms. 

The wade fishermen are doing well with Woolly Buggers, Rim Shoals Zebra midges & streamers.  We have had some reports from guests of line breaking carp being caught on jigs.
 
The fish are looking very very healthy whatever size they are and their fighting ability is unbelievable.
 
Hope to see you at the Rim soon.  Have had very little rain and the river is running clear. You can see down about 6-8'.   Working the boulders and inside bends have produced very well.

 

We learn from each other.  I read somewhere that fly fishing guide John Gulley learned to fish high water from a spin fisherman by adapting their methods to fly fishing. 

Now we have spin fishermen adapting flies for a spin rod.  The latest thing for spin fisherman is a fly called the P.O.S.  and they swear it is the greatest.  You can pick them up at our shop.

By all means be careful. We are hearing about an awful lot of boating accidents this year. Somebody tried to anchor mid river at Wildcat Shoals and sunk their boat. It is underwater for the duration. Last week another boat hit it and sunk as well.  Near Rim Shoals, the motor failed on some boaters and were rammed into a tree by the river current. Two managed to stay in the boat, the third was tossed out and stranded on the opposite bank. Fortunately, there have been no serious injuries.

As many of you know Wendy, Gary, and Henry are on the board of Trout Unlimited.  When requesting a guide (either fly or spinning) if you will ask for a guide who is a TU member $5.00 will be donated in your name to protect the trout in the White river.

Henry Seay also manages our fly shop and is in the store Thursday-Saturday. Call or stop by to "talk fish".  You can schedule a couple of hours with Henry by calling us at Rim Shoals. 870.435.6144
