LOCATIONS FISHED: White River, Rim Shoals to Crooked Creek
ROD USED: 8’ 9” 5 wt Winston Joan Wulff Favorite
FLIES USED: #16 Cerise San Juan Worm, #16 Superfly, #16 Red/Black Zebra Midge
OTHER: Fished with Ed and John out of the boat. Ed began catching fish immediately in Upper Rim Shoals, with two fish caught on one of his first casts, one on the main fly and the other on the dropper. He was hot today! As with yesterday, fishing slowed considerably on the second drift, so we extended the drift downstream to Lower Rim Shoals and caught lots of fish, with most being caught on the Zebra Midge and Superfly. At lunch, we extended the drift further downstream to Crooked Creek, and again, caught lots of fish. None of us caught any large fish.

OTHER: Fished with John out of the boat. We began catching fish immediately in Upper Rim Shoals, almost exclusively on the cerise worm. Fishing slowed considerably on the second drift, and even more on the third. We extended the drift downstream to Lower Rim Shoals and caught lots of fish, with most being caught on the Zebra Midge and Superfly. We extended the drift further downstream to Crooked Creek, and again, caught lots of fish. Neither of us caught any large fish, though I did have a HUGE fish chase a hooked fish to the boat.

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Island above Ackerman/Handicap Access
ROD USED: 8’ 9” 5 wt Winston Joan Wulff Favorite
FLIES USED: #14 Norfork River Scud
OTHER: Fished with John, and Jimmy, a friend of John’s. Jimmy joined me for the afternoon’s fishing, but had never fly fished for trout, and had only fished a fly rod for bream many years ago. However, he was an extremely quick learner, and armed with a Norfork River Scud, caught fish almost every cast. Now, he’ll think it’s like this all the time! I fished sparingly, and had a great afternoon, catching fish on all but a couple of casts.
