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 [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

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 [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

We've had some windy, weird weather over the past two days, and I'll be happy when its gone. It's kept temps down enough to keep the big rivers from hitting 70, but I saw very little bug activity and rising fish seemed to be a bit rarer despite lowering water levels. I was on the Big C yesterday and we had some of the strongest winds I've ever had to [...]

White River

6/17/09

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 extremely well. Anglers reported success on midge larva pattern [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

As of 3pm, a line of heavy rain is moving out the northern 'Dacks into the northwestern portion of Vt. It looks Franklin County will get hit the hardest early on...but that isn't exactly trout country. Portions of the Lamoille watershed will get a bit, and then in the next few hours portions of central Vermont should see some of these pop up downpours. Then t [...]

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:

Today reminded me of the spring weather that hits southern NZ routinely...all 4 seasons in one day! I took a group up to the Upper Ct today, and while conditions were far from ideal, everyone managed to catch fish on nymphs. Once the hail started floating down the river and piling up on the ground, we called it a day. The big rivers should start to be in ok shpae in thei [...]

Bright Fish Hooked on Miramichi

Colfords Miramichi Fishing Report from the lower stretches of the South West Miramichi River.

Did I ever pick a morning to take of from fishing! Myself, Joel Kitchen and Dale Geldert was planning on taking a trip to the North West Miramichi. Something came up and I could not make the day trip, and oh yes this is w [...]

North Fork of the Shenandoah: Murray's Fly Shop (540) 984-4212. Water conditions in the North and South forks of the Shenandoah are clear, fishable, and 70 degrees. The streams are more full than normal, so they can be floated safely; be careful, however, when wading. Good flies are the Olive Marauder, size 8; the Murray's Chub, size 6; and the Shenk [...]

Lawton Weber of Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Guides reports:

I managed to squeeze in a instructional trip today on the Winooski, and whew, that southeast wind was raw! Nothing was hatching and I only saw two rises, but my client learned the fundamentals and hooked a couple of fish along the way. Water temp was around 58F at noon. We've got some monster rains on the way with a flood watch issued for all of Vermont except Rut [...]

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 [...]

John Berry from Berry Brothers Guide Service said with all the rain and rising water, the pattern on the White was for round-the-clock generation of moderate flows. This has created some excellent conditions for drift fishing. The catch-and-release section below Bull Shoals Dam has been a bit spotty. One day is excellent and the next is very slow. [...]

Northern Vermont Fly Fishing Report

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 [...]
