Time to start fishing

[ewheeley]

I'm heading over to the White River saturday for a few days of trout fishing. Hoping to hook up with some big post spawn browns.

Where on the White do you fish?

I never stopped fishing. I fish for trout all year around. Had ice on the fly rod in December and several good days in December and January.

The frowny face was for the fish that I'm not gonna catch. But you can bet I won't be frowning while I'm strolling South Beach!

Who do you usually use?

We had been using Tinker's at Little Mineral on the Texas side. Tinker passed away this last fall and it just seemed like a good time to shop around.

We booked with Sparky's guide service at Alberta Creek this year. LOL, Sparky and my FIL were like long lost brothers....

We like to do at least one trip at end May/beginning June then if vacation time/money work out we go back in the Fall.

I'm about ready to get my kayaks out and run a little bit while the Ozark rivers are high. I'll try to hit the white bass spawning runs on the War Eagle River, but I'm more exciting for late June to arrive. Water starts getting a little lower, small mouth get more aggressive on the rivers, white bass school up on Beaver Lake, and the best part... The crawfish are huge!

God, I love that area. I've canoe'd the Buffalo from Ponca when its a class 2-3. Also done the smallmouth fishing on the same river from Harrison Ar on a 12 mile trip. Beautiful 300 foot bluffs and lots of wildlife.

You are very lucky to only have to fish on the lake for a short period of time. I live on Lake Texoma, and I am forced to fish all year long!

That is my goal. We have always talked about moving to Grand and having a year around dock. Hunt the area in the winter, and fish year around.

Dennis, have you ever tried floating the Elk River up in Noel, MO? It's definitely a party river, with a lot of college kids from Kansas, but back in high school I caught atleast 70 smallmouth in one outing.

Don't wait till April or you'll miss a lot of the big ones. They are already starting to be caught at Eufaula, Thunderbird, and Kaw. Maybe others too. 5 to 15 feet deep.
