Arkansas Fish & Game Weekly Fly Fishing Report

The Arkansas Fish & Game Commission reports:

White River:

John Berry from Berry Brothers Guide Service said the pattern on the White was for around-the-clock generation of varied flows (3,000 CFS to 12,000 CFS) with lower flows at night and in the morning. The flows have been much heavier in the afternoon during peak power demand. This created some challenging conditions for drift fishing and some limit [...]

I do recall calling mother nature a bitch back in May...and while some folks may have questioned the karmic implications of such a comment, the fact is after the past week...she has not proven me wrong! I had a couple of glorious days on the Big C before the rains arrived last Friday; with good numbers of wild bows and browns up to 16", highlighted by a mo [...]

White River

John Berry from Berry Brothers Guide Service said the pattern on the White was for around-the-clock generation of moderate flows with a few significant periods of no generation. This created some excellent conditions for drift fishing and some limited but excellent wading. The catch-and-release section below Bull Shoals Dam has been fishing extreme [...]

I was down on a trib of the Winooski this am doing a site visit for a stream restoration project our local TU chapter will be working on, and the Winooski is up and dirty. Some heavier rain fell last evening around central Vt. and the Mad river came up 2 feet and has made the Winooski very muddy downstream. In Montpelier the river is not quite as fidrty, but is high.

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

A buddy of mine and I took the new raft down the Winooski for its maiden voyage below Middlesex Dam today, and while river levels and clarity were far from ideal due to high flows out of Wrightsville Reservoir, we had a blast. Flows were actually good for floating, but the clarity was around 3 feet or so...not too flash. The water temp was an incredible 61F at [...]

White River Fly Fishing Report

John Berry reports for the Baxterbulletin.com

I recently spent two days guiding two nice guys on the White River.

Don was a lawyer from California, and Robert was a computer engineer from St. Louis. Both were accomplished anglers. The first day was glorious. It was sunny with a light wind and a cool morning. We went to Rim Shoals, my home water, and launched the boat. The water was dropping out.

We fished around Redbud [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I saw a couple of Brown Drakes on the Lamoille this evening, but the Caddis and Sulphur hatches stole the show. I found rising fish in places, but I was on the lower river and it looked like I was in the midst of a bit of a rise in water level due to a dam release upstream. We've got dry and generally cooler than normal temps for the next 5-7 days, which means we [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I had a great day today with a new client on the middle reaches of the Winooski. It was one of those days where you kinda lost count after awhile. But we took browns and bows on dries and nymphs. Because of the cooler weather, there were sulphurs around from about 2pm on. Not alot, but if you looked around, you'd see one with every glance. Conditions could not loo [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

Well, I guess I should start out by saying, with the somwhat lighter rainfalls in some areas of the state, I was wrong in saying most waters will be high and dirty today. More accurately, there are "alot" of waters that are blown out, namely the Winooski and tribs, and Otter Creek and tribs, and the lower White. But the Lamoille has just risen to it average [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I guided on a stretch of the Winooski above Montpelier today, and we did real well, landing over a dozen browns and wild bows up to 14". They took both nymphs and dries. Water levels have improved big time on the Winooski below Montpelier as releases out of Wrightsville Reservoir have been reduced by over 100cfs. The Lamoille is also in great shape. It has now be [...]

Most successful fishermen are using chartreuse, orange or rainbow Power Bait. The reservoir was stocked with 5,720 10- inchers last week. The fishing dock is still inaccessible becaus [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

The Winooski continues to be a bit high to really do well right now, and the bright hot weather only made it tougher. We did land a 17" brown, but it was tough work. Caddis and a few Sulphurs were hatching late this am, and there were quite a few rusty spinners in the eddies, but no risers. No nasty weather in the forecast, and other than parts of the Winooski an [...]
