White River

TIME: 11:00 AM TO 6:00 PM
WEATHER: PC, High 60s, windy with south winds
WATER CONDITIONS: 2 units
LOCATIONS FISHED: White River, Jenkins Creek to Rim Shoals
FLIES USED: #14 SSF (Simank's Secret Fly)
ROD USED: 9 ft 5 wt Winston
HATCHES: Caddis, Midges
OTHER: Fished with John and Ed in the river boat. Wind gusted to about 15 mph, making drifting and fishing difficult. Nevertheless, we caught a lot of fish, though none over 16 inches. Fishing was best immediately upstream of Jenkins Creek, in the riffle at the creek, and just downstream. There was an awesome caddis hatch beside the island across the river from the creek, but we didn't see any rising fish.
