Just got back from vacation around the White River in Arkansas.

If you haven’t been, you owe yourself a trip.

We caught so many rainbow trout, a few cut throat, and several good sized brownies.

This will be a trip I take again.

We've been there several times. A great fishery!


Caught a 24" brown on a crawfish pattern on my last float trip of the summer last week. Big Horn river, Thermopolis Wyoming!

flex seal... probably won't last forever, but a couple coats of the liquid on the inside of the feet would probably do it...

I don't totally dislike fly fishermen, but the last couple times I've been to the river I've had run-ins with them... the first was a group of three old timers that waded into the river across from me where I was floating bait... they talked about it for awhile and one of them finally decided to walk closer and closer and closer until eventually I couldn't cast without snagging him... I probably should've snagged him, but they were old and I wasn't having luck, so I packed up frustrated and went home...

went out again yesterday and had 2 different old timers show up at the spot I was fishing... the first got an unfriendly look from me and took off.... the second showed up and stood just down the bank from me with his rod in the casting-ready position and kept giving me sad puppy dog looks as if to beg for a scrap cast...

there are so many places to fish on this river and it's moving so fast that fishing close to one another never works out... I never did yield, he took off without casting, and eventually an older man and woman showed up and threw bait close enough to me to make lure fishing too difficult...

ya know what, maybe it's just old people I don't like...

Sounds like you don't like jackwagons. Being an Basshole is not age dependent, nor tackle related. In most folks it seems to be a gift. d'oh!

Holding a fly fishing rod so often bestows an enormous amount of arrogance, self importance and superiority.

Don't fight the urge to dislike fly fishermen....it is quite reasonable....there are some exceptions, but they exist only to prove the rule

eh i love fly fishing. but my go to spot for the fall coho run is as urban combat fishing as i can get without getting physical. not the best for someone who has a tough time biting thier tongue. plus its heavily slavic brothers from all over the former eastern block, and while im in the club, i dont look like a member. so they get real surprised when i toss some friendly GTFO replies in their native tongue ( covered 3.5 languages last time out )

But yeah, posting up next to you, wading through your drift spot, overcast, overcasting to offer to untangle just to check out your fly, not taking a line out when you have a drag screamer on, snagging the fish you have on.... all the great stuff.

ironically, once they learn im in the club. they try to become friends, offer to buy flies or fish. some crazy chit.

funny, ive grown up with the fully understanding of never be a rat, but i find myself advocating for fishing regulations more than PETA members lately when people keep snagged fish.

plus my fall run flies have been doing work lol

Mid fall to mid winter is my favorite time to fish in the mid Atlantic region. The salt water species like
striped bass( known as rockfish in these neck of the woods) are heading down the bay with a big appetite.

The panfish like yellow perch and crappie are schooling up in predictable deeper holes and hungry.

The largemouth fishing is the best at this time of year than probably any other time next to (maybe) pre spawn.

And, probably the best thing about fishing this time of year is it's hunting season in these parts and there are less
yucka pucks on the water and more in the woods.

Opening day of firearms deer season is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I will put my boat in the water and might not see
another boat all day. Rain or shine I will catch more largemouth this day than any other day of the year.


You guys down south should be absolutely crushing them. I can tell you firsthand that Lake Sam Rayburn is on fire
right now.

Tight lines!
