Seven (7) Day Fly Fishing Forecast: good fishing has returned to the white..should be stable conditions

 

                 The flood gates are closed and more normal conditions have returned to the White.  Although we still have unwadeable water for the most part the flows have been very fishable from a boat and above average fish are being caught. We are throwing large streamers from the drift boat with those who can cast a sink tip line with accurracy. We have caught some nice brownes doing this the past week. From the motor boat we use a run and gun technique to hit the best spots and stay with the riseing water. Very important to stay with the rise during these kind of conditions.
