Lets Get Up to Date.

I've negelected a report so here goes.

This past weekend there was no generation on both the White and Norfork Rivers. What a change and a pleasant one I might add. It's nice to get out of a boat for a change.

On Friday and Sat I did a trip I did last year. Our first day we fished wildcat shoals access and did well with numbers of fish on caddis emergers, larvae and pupae as well as midges under an indicator. A few were taken with drys which is always fun. Did teach my fisherman (I dislike the words Sports & Clients) how to roll cast, switch cast and double lift mend and on saturday we put some of this newly learned knowledge to work nymphing. Both my fishers picked up on this quickly and soon became addicted. This easy technique quickly produced a couple of small brown trout in the 15 and 16 inch range.

Sunday I took Tim from Feather Craft and three of his buddies fishing. Tim is a superbe caster and fisherman for a young man. Very astute and learns so damn fast is scarey. His buddy andy is pretty dang good as well.
A ton of fish caught with a dozen brown trout hooked and landed as well. Tim of course hooked and landed 8 of them with the biggest at just under 20 inches.

What's new: My website http://flyfisharkansas.com is currently being re-done and I've been working on getting my webmaster pics on CD's. It will be a fabulous website with much more info and a pic gallery. Movies soon to follow. Will update as this happens. The flyshop will be greatly updated as well and the blog will be integrated with the website and be much more informative and entertaining. Stay tuned: Bookmark the website and check in often.
