Fly Fishing on the White River is as good as ever and should remain that way for quite some time! The lake levels are back down to the top of their power pools on both, Bull Shoals and Norfork. Commonly, this means that river flows will depend strictly upon power demand. Due to the very mild Winter that we're seeing, water flows have been "all over the map", ranging from dead low during the warmer periods of the day to higher flows during the colder. And until we see some significant rainfall, the river flows will continue to fluctuate. So whether you prefer drift fishing from a boat or simply like wade fishing, there should be a water flow for you to enjoy!
Our brown trout spawn season has come late for much of the White River. Fortunately, we're starting to see some areas of heavily populated spawning fish. So if you're not familiar with our fishery, please pay close attention not to walk on the spawn beds while wade fishing.
Due to the brown trout spawn, egg patterns are usually the prime fly for Winter fishing. However, because of the fluctuating water flows, there are a variety of flies that will catch fish at this time. During the low water periods: soft hackles, zebra midges, small streamers, san juan worms, egg patterns and even the occasional elk hair caddis will land plenty of fish BUT during the higher flows: san juan worms and egg patterns are hard to beat and will produce a good number of nice fish!
See you on the water!
