Back on the White River, Finally

TIME: 8:30 AM to 12:00 Noon

WEATHER:  Clear, low 50s to mid 70s

WATER CONDITIONS:  1+ Units

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 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.
