The weather has been wonderful. The food source in the river with the high water for the past 2 years has produced quantities of large fish. Sculpins, Rouges, and rapala's have been the ticket for the larger ones. A little rain in the afternoons no problem. Fishing the river has been a wonderful thing. Several 3 and 4 boat trips this week produced numerous fish and a couple of real trophy opportunities, People have been catching Browns, Brooks, Cutthroat, and Rainbows all week. For the past week the lake level has been near the 657 mark. Normal pool is 654.00. The norm this week has been 0 to 2 units until about 1 or 2 PM then running different amounts in the afternoon and evening. This creates great "CATCHING" conditions. That could change at any time. 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.
Fishing's always good when your with Big Phil . WHAT A DAY!!

Listen to KCBN 104.3 Friday mornings around 7:45AM for Big Phil's Live White River Fishing Report with Dr. Dave.
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 Pink Powerbait Worms are getting hit hard and have been the ticket lately. Sculpins, Shrimp, and Fl Yellow Powerbait. Some stick baits and Rouges in shad and clown patterns, CD 7's and CD 9's in G, S, 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!!
