Pre spawn mode is on. There are multitudes of larger fish coming up river. All of the folks fishing caught their limit and then some.Cleaned to request, whole, skinned, or filleted by their guide. Catch and release tactics were used and any person wanting to take a limit home could. The wonderful weather and the beginning of the fall color changes, along with the continued pattern of low water conditions, it has been very productive and the fly fisherman’s delight. With the rising waters in the afternoon comes the opportunity to try different tactics like rouges or countdowns. People have been catching Browns, Brooks, Cutthroat, and Rainbows all week. The lake level on 10/17/2010 was 653.20, below normal pool.. Normal pool is 654.00. With this variance in the generation at the Bull Shoals Dam you need to be aware and be prepared for different water conditions at all times. The number to call for generation report is 870-431-5311. A lot of real nice fish are being caught and it is more important than ever to get a professional guide for the river. They know how to navigate in all water conditions and they know the holes where the fish are stacked. If you have questions call 870-445-4444. Always have personal flotation devices on board and in hazardous conditions they should be worn. Now that we are in range of normal pool we could see some variance in the generation levels. If your not familiar with the river get a licensed/insured guide or guide service for your fishing needs.

If you are spin casting, With generation, it is a little harder to feel the bite when it occurs as it is a subtle difference When drifting with a river rig keep the slack out of your line to feel it better….your guide can help show you how to maximize your opportunity to catch. Nightcrawlers, Sculpins, Redworms, shrimp, and Bubble Gum Powerbait Worms are getting hit hard and have been the ticket lately. Pink Power bait is starting to do better than the yellow at times, so try it if you want. Some stick baits and Rouges in shad and clown patterns, CD 7’s and CD 9’s in G, S, BT, and BTR are doing very good. Flatfish in silver, gold or Krocodiles in various colors, Maribu, and Chrome Domes have been catching also. Trophy Browns are being caught at night when the generators are shut down. Come see me for details on this method, J-9 jointed Rapalas, and topwater Rogues and Zara Pups have been doing very good on catching these. Please be aware of your trash. Don’t let it float down river. If you do see some please if possible pick it up. Thanks

Fish ON!!
