WHITE RIVER: Its been a difficult day and its been pretty hard to concentrate on fishing, even as much as we obsess about it. But it had been a pretty good few days. Some very nice fish were caught by the dam and Clint Wilkinson was in this morning talking about a 100 fish day for his client on Monday. But the severe cold front which came in yesterday will have slowed things some.
Davy Wotton’s Super Midges continue to do very well, as do more common Zebra Midges, Poison Tungs, and the like. Black and Silver and red are very strong colors. But we have also had decent reports on olive and Camel Midges. Olive McLellan’s scuds and Woven V-Rib Sowbugs have also been catching plenty of fish alongside Trout Crack’s and sneaky brown San Juan’s. Woolly buggers in olive and black continue to fish strongly.
NORFORK: Chad Johnson floated Norfork last Saturday and nailed fish on a variety of patterns. But he reported that red based midges with some flash were the best bet. Try the Red/Yellow Tailwater Midges as well. We have heard too of some irregular, patchy but occasionally very good blue wing olive hatches coming off.So keep some Parachute Adams in 18s and 20s handy, and some small Pheasant Tails..
